Stamped Concrete Can Beautify Your Home in Seven Ways
Call us at (520) 301-0316
Stamped Concrete is a popular option to decorate concrete surfaces, such as patios and driveways. It can also be used for interior flooring or vertical surfaces. Stamped concrete is also referred to as printed concrete or patterned concrete. When gray concrete simply won’t cut it, its adaptability and cheapness make it ideal. Stamped concrete may replicate natural stone patterns, including cobblestone, brick, flagstone, and slate. This is done without the cost and time of installing individual stones. Here are seven ways Apexx Enterprise LLC will help you create your dream home using stamped concrete enhancements.
1. Pair with another decorative concrete style
You can create activity zones in “wide open spaces” such as a pool deck or a patio. The patio was stamped with an Ashlar Slate design, and the Pool Deck received a PebbleKoat River Rock overlay. For a coordinated backyard oasis, custom concrete stains are matched to the river rock colors.
2. Seamless Texturizing
Concrete stamp mats are a great way to add a unique texture to concrete surfaces without the need for joint lines. Slate’s natural colors are very popular. With concrete stamps that look like slate and custom concrete stains, you can duplicate any color of slate or create your own. Slate is not as durable and will eventually wear out. A stamped decorative concrete finish that has been sealed and is seamless will last for many decades with no chips, cracks, or fading.
3. Texture plus design
Stamped concrete can replicate the look of grouted stones, including flagstones, cobblestones, bricks, and slate. Concrete stamps may texturize and imprint stone shapes in addition to grout lines, creating the impression of grouted tiles or stone. The patio was an old red brick patio with cracked bricks and deteriorating grout. The damage was covered by a resurfacing overlay of concrete, which featured an Ashlar design stamped on the surface. Concrete stamps are used to create overlays on existing concrete slabs or can be stamped directly onto freshly poured concrete.
4. Faux wood finishes
Decorators can produce faux wood finishes using stamped concrete. You can now design “wood” outdoor patios, staircases, porches, and walkways without the concern of real wood bending, splitting, or cracking from persistent climate. Custom concrete stamps can produce wood plank finishes from small to huge, smooth to rough, even reclaimed wood. You have several hues to choose from, from deep colors to light wood tones. They also let you match the colors with your yard’s current features. Interior floors can also enjoy the beauty and durability of wood, even in busy rooms.

5. Add an artistic touch with stencils
Stamped cement can also be customized with stencils, custom logos, or other designs. The stamped and hand-colored design becomes an integral part of the overall stamped concrete. It won’t fade or peel off with time. You can create a focal point for a patio or personalize a driveway by adding a family logo or team crest. Popular stenciled rug patterns are used for front porches, patios, and interior entryways. Release your decorating diva!
6. Stamped borders add decorative flair to stained concrete
Stamped concrete borders combined with a less expensive resurfacing method can be a great compromise if budget restrictions prevent you from using stamped concrete to cover your entire concrete surface. It’s not necessary to give up on the dream of having stone borders. You can add texture and color with cobblestone, slate, or flagstone. Stamped border flagstones accent this stained cement patio. Create a driveway with distinction by using flagstone highlights on broom-swept concrete.
7. Vertical concrete resurfacing with faux stone and wood
Stamped concrete is also a great way to add faux wood and stone designs on vertical surfaces such as walls, steps, and house siding. Vertical concrete resurfacing is a great way to achieve the look of wood and stone finishes at a fraction of the cost, with much less time and mess. The stamped wood and hand-carved stone patterns can be applied over brick, plaster, or drywall as well as wood or concrete to create realistic textures that will transform your home in just a few days. Stonework can be prohibitive due to the weight, but our resurfaced overlays make it possible. Stone can be used for accent walls, fireplace refacing, and backsplashes.
Stamped Concrete Can Change the Game
You can create any type of stone or rock pattern, as well as wood plank finishes that look authentic. There’s no need to limit yourself to the styles and colors available at the local stonemason or in big-box stores. Our projects are completely customizable, from the stamp design and pattern to the color. Your options are endless.
