Spring is finally here, and people are spending more and more time outdoors. Wouldn’t it be nice to entertain your family and friends on a brand new stamped concrete patio? Before you do this, there are some questions that you should consider. What is stamped concrete, and why should it be a consideration?
Stamped concrete, or decorative concrete is basically a concrete that is patterned and textured to resemble other material such as flagstone, stone, brick, or tile. It’s often used for patios, sidewalks, driveways, pool decks, and interior flooring. Stamped concrete has become very popular because it does such a good job of resembling those other materials. In addition, the look of these other materials can be achieved at a fraction of the cost. For example, according to stampedconcrete.org, the average cost for stamped concrete ranges from $8-$20/square foot. On the other hand, the cost for natural stone can start at $25/square foot.
Lastly, installation is usually quicker than installing other materials (about half the time), and the final product can give you decades of enjoyment with minimal maintenance.
