Many homeowners are opting for decorative and stamped concrete patios, driveways, walkways, floors, curbs and steps that mimic the look of stone, brick or tile. Perfect for any outdoor area, decorative concrete work offers the ability to get creative with patterns and colors.
Decorative and stamped concrete, often called textured or imprinted concrete, replicates stones, such as slate and flagstone, tile, brick and even wood. The wide variety of pattern and color choices make it popular for beautifying Edmonton concrete driveways , patios, pool decks and more. Additionally, it’s an affordable paving option that requires less maintenance than other materials.
Because of its superior durability and weather resistance, colored and stamped concrete is the perfect choice to bring the high-end look of stone, brick, or wood to concrete patios, pool decks, driveways, walkways and courtyards.

IS STAMPED CONCRETE RIGHT FOR ME?
Stamped and Decorative Concrete is:
-
- Is more affordable than natural stone, brick or pavers
- Enhances outdoor spaces and adds to your home value
- Offers nearly limitless pattern and color choices
- Slip resistant when treated with a non-skid additive
- Durable and long-lasting
- Easy to maintain when sealed
A stamped concrete patio costs less than the natural stone, brick or tile patios it’s designed to mimic.
It’s less labor-intensive and cheaper than other hardscaping options like brick pavers or tile, and lasts for decades if properly maintained with sealer.

DESIGN OPTIONS
From an aesthetic standpoint, stamped concrete is hard to beat when it comes to pattern and color options, which are virtually unlimited. Many people get inspiration from their surrounding landscape or home’s architectural style and choose patterns and colors that blend with existing stone, tile or textured concrete elements. For example, if your house has a brick exterior, consider echoing that theme with a simple brick-patterned border, or choose a pattern and color scheme that ties in with your surrounding landscape.
Patterns:
Natural stone patterns such as slate, flagstone, and fieldstone are the most common, followed by brick, cobblestone and wood. Patterns can be pressed into the concrete work even in complex projects with steps and fountains.
Colors:
The most popular colors tend to be grays and earth tones; however, brick patterns are often colored in red or russet hues. Colors can be mixed, layered or antiqued with stains or tints, creating a virtually endless list of possibilities. Multiple colors can be used within the same project for realistic stone coloration, decorative borders or a contrasting color pattern.
Stamped concrete can also be used in conjunction with other decorative concrete elements such as exposed aggregate or acid staining.
Edmonton Concrete Resurfacing:
Another option is to install decorative overlays on existing concrete work that’s in good condition. Concrete driveways are one popular application of concrete resurfacing.
A coating is applied to make it look like stone, wood, or whatever pattern and color customers choose. It can be stained, painted or stamped to mimic any hard surface.
The cost of concrete resurfacing is comparable to pouring a new slab of stamped concrete. Request a quote.
Concrete resurfacing is available in a wide range of colors, designs and textures. Options include sandstone, granite, brick, paved and stamped finishes or adding color to create warmth or an aged look.
Concrete Resurfacing
If you don’t like the idea of completely removing your old concrete work to introduce a new and fresh design, the good news is that you might not have to. Many concrete patios, paths, driveways and floors can be resurfaced, saving you a great deal of time and money.
Concrete resurfacing is a great way to revitalize weathered concrete and make it fresh again. It’s a practical and economical way to increase the livability of your home and improve its value.
Essentially, concrete resurfacing is adding a decorative layer to your concrete work. It is generally performed using polymer-modified overlay systems or cement-based overlays. Polymer-modified overlays blend polymer resins with cement, sand and other additives, increasing its performance, wear resistance and overall look.

Concrete Sealer on an Existing Driveway – Concrete Sealing
A good concrete sealer can help rejuvenate a tired looking concrete driveway or will keep it looking great for longer. Whether it’s grey, colored or patterned concrete, sealing after the concrete has cured is strongly recommended and for the best results, sealing should take place every few years.
Think of concrete sealing as applying a layer of wax to your car, wearing sunscreen or spraying a fabric protector on your favorite shirt. A sealer can improve the overall look of a driveway, protect it from UV rays that cause fading and keep stains from absorbing. Some further benefits of sealing include:
- Protection from weather and water exposure
- Protection from grease and oil
- Protection from chemicals
- Reduced abrasion
- Enhancement of the concrete’s natural beauty
- Enrichment of color intensity
- An attractive sheen
- Easier to clean
While there are many benefits to sealing a concrete driveway, finding the right sealer for the job at hand is crucial, if you get it wrong a concrete sealer can ruin an otherwise flawless driveway.
