Stamped and stained concrete gives you the look of natural stone, brick, or wood with the strength and low maintenance of a solid poured slab. We design decorative patios that fit the style of your Nashville home.
Stamped concrete uses textured mats or rollers to press a pattern, such as flagstone, cobblestone, slate, or wood plank, into the surface while the concrete is still workable. Staining adds color on top of or within the slab, using integral color mixed in before the pour or an acid or water-based stain applied after curing. Combined, stamping and staining create a custom decorative finish poured as a single, seamless slab.
Homeowners often want more visual interest than a plain gray slab offers, but don't want the ongoing maintenance of pavers, natural stone, or a wood deck. Stamped and stained concrete gives you that upgraded look while keeping the patio as a single, solid pour, so there's no re-leveling shifted pavers or resealing wood every year.
Decorative concrete is a popular choice for homeowners upgrading a plain existing patio, building a new outdoor living space they want to feel more custom, or matching a patio to stone or brick already used elsewhere on the property. Because the pattern and color are built into the pour, the finish holds up well to Middle Tennessee's humid summers and freeze-thaw winters with regular sealing.
Stamping presses a pattern, like stone or brick, into the concrete surface while it's still workable. Staining adds color, either as an integral color mixed into the concrete or an acid stain applied after it cures. Many patios use both together for a layered, natural look.
Stamped concrete is a single poured slab, so there are no individual units that can shift, sink, or grow weeds between them the way pavers can. It does need periodic resealing to keep its color and finish looking sharp.
All exterior concrete finishes weather somewhat with UV exposure. Sealing your patio on a regular schedule protects the color and pattern and significantly slows fading.
Existing plain concrete generally can't be stamped after the fact, but it can often be resurfaced with a decorative overlay or stained to add color and pattern. Ask us about your specific patio during your quote.
