Stamped Concrete in Quincy, MA
What is Stamped Concrete?
We use decorative stamping techniques to create an impression in the fresh pour of concrete to give it design elements, texture & pattern, and we have all sorts of stamps (and other tools) to replicate the look of real stone, pavers, tile, wood planks, etc., and many times create our own original designs. Stamped concrete brings you the durability and life span of concrete and the visual quality of costly materials, and we can add color with either integral pigments or surface stains, which will allow us to make each feature as unique as possible for your home.

Stamped Concrete Designs and Patterns
Our stamped concrete designs range from classic to contemporary. Popular patterns include:
Ashlar Slate: The ashlar slate pattern is designed with large rectangular stones placed randomly to resemble the appearance of slate stone.

Brick Patterns: Brick patterns can be made in running bond, herringbone, or basketweave designs to give your home a traditional look without the maintenance of actual bricks.
Wood Plank: Wood plank is a design that gives you the warm feeling of having wood on your driveway or sidewalk, but without the worry of it rotting, splintering, or being attacked by termites.
Flagstone: Flagstone is a design that uses irregular flagstone to create a unique, organic-looking surface that works great for patios and pool decks.

Some popular stamped concrete driveway ideas include: traditional brick designs for traditional houses, and modern geometric designs for modern architecture. We will also give you a stamped concrete driveway quote, which includes all estimated costs and available design options.
Stamped Concrete Surrounding Pool Areas
We can help you create the feel of a resort by designing and installing stamped concrete around pool areas. We have experience in creating both stamped concrete pool surrounds and stamped concrete pool decks that combine function with aesthetics. Our textured finishes offer a safe option by providing slip-resistant surfaces when wet. Additionally, we can install drainage solutions to eliminate standing water. Some popular stamped concrete pool surround design ideas include: tropical stone patterns, classic travertine designs, and custom designs that match your specific landscaping.
Stamped Concrete Walkways
Use stamped concrete walkways to direct visitors throughout your property. Our stamped concrete walkway design ideas include everything from formal entrance pathways to meandering garden walkways. We can either match your current hardscape or create contrasting elements that separate different outdoor areas. The addition of contrasting border colors or designs can serve as a finishing touch to complete your outdoor area.
Stamped Concrete Installation Process
Our stamped concrete contractors use a well-established method to achieve an excellent outcome in stamped concrete work:
- Site Preparation: The foundation, as it relates to all future performance of the stamped concrete work, must be prepared by digging the site properly, grading it, and installing the proper base course.
- Pouring Concrete: A quality mix of concrete will be poured and then leveled according to your project specifications.
- Applying Color: Either integral color or color hardener will be applied in accordance with your stamping design.
- Stamping: At the best possible consistency, we will stamp your desired pattern onto the concrete.
- Detail Work: All detail work, such as hand tooling, joints, and textures, will be completed to provide an authentic look and feel.
- Sealing: Multiple applications of sealant will be used to seal and protect the surface from the elements and help create a deeper color.
As all of these steps take place, timing is key. With years of experience, our team works together like a well-oiled machine to ensure consistent results across the entire surface of the installation.
Stamped Concrete vs Regular Concrete
Aesthetics are the most significant distinction between stamped concrete and traditional concrete. When both stamped and regular concrete have been properly installed, they deliver comparable strength as well as durability. Stamped concrete offers a patterned or textured look with color options to add aesthetic appeal. Regular concrete, on the other hand, provides a functional surface at a lower price point. Stamped concrete will provide much greater value for those areas where aesthetic appeal matters—patios, front walkways, pool decks, etc.—and may be sufficient for areas that are purely functional —garage floors, etc.
