Stamped Concrete with Boise Concrete Contractors
Stamped concrete is a type of concrete that is textured or imprinted to resemble stone, brick, slate, cobblestone, and many other materials. It is commonly used for patios, driveways, walkways, and pool decks because it is attractive and more durable than regular concrete. Stamped concrete can also be colored to complement the design of your home or landscape. The process of stamping concrete involves adding a base color to the wet concrete mix and then using stamps to add texture. Once the stamps are in place, another layer of color is added before the concrete is allowed to dry. The finished product is a beautiful and unique surface that will last for many years with proper care.
How it works
From first call to finished job
- Step 1
Share your project
Driveway, patio, slab or repair: tell us the rough size, the finish you have in mind and your address. Photos of the area help.
- Step 2
Measure and plan
The area is measured and checked for slope, drainage, access for the concrete truck and any old concrete that has to come out.
- Step 3
A clear quote
You get a quote that spells out the size, thickness, base, reinforcement, finish and removal of old concrete, so you know what's included.
- Step 4
Prep, pour and cure
The ground is excavated, the base compacted and the forms set, then the concrete is poured, finished and jointed. You'll know how long to wait before walking or driving on it.
What's included
Stamped Concrete: what we handle
- Stamped patterns: Ashlar slate, cobblestone, flagstone, brick and wood-plank patterns, plus seamless textures.
- Color: Integral color, color hardeners and release agents combined for natural-looking, two-tone surfaces.
- Exposed aggregate: The top layer washed off to reveal the stones in the mix, for a textured, grippy finish.
- Borders and accents: Stamped or colored borders that frame a plain driveway, walkway or patio.
- Sealing: Sealer applied after curing to deepen the color and protect the surface, with an anti-slip additive where needed.
- Resealing: Faded or dull stamped concrete cleaned and resealed to bring back the color.

FAQ
Stamped Concrete: common questions
Is stamped concrete slippery?
Sealed stamped concrete can be slippery when wet, especially with smooth patterns. A textured pattern and a non-slip grit mixed into the sealer make a big difference around pools and on steps.
How often does stamped concrete need resealing?
Every two to three years is typical, more often in high-traffic areas or harsh winters. Resealing protects the color from sun fading and keeps water and salts out of the surface.
Does stamped concrete crack?
It can, like any concrete. Control joints are placed within the pattern so cracks follow those lines, and a solid base and proper thickness keep cracking to a minimum. Hairline cracks are usually only cosmetic.
