How It Works
- 1
Pattern & Color Selection
We present pattern and color options, discuss what works with your home exterior, and provide a written estimate.
- 2
Base Preparation & Forming
Stamped concrete requires the same careful base prep as any other flatwork. We don't skip this step because the decorative finish will show any substrate movement.
- 3
Pour, Color & Stamp
We apply color hardener to the surface, pour and consolidate, then stamp the pattern before the concrete reaches final set. Timing is critical.
- 4
Sealing
After full cure, we apply a high-solids acrylic sealer rated for UV exposure. In El Paso, sealer selection matters, cheap sealers whiten and peel within a season.
Frequently Asked Questions
How long does stamped concrete last?
The concrete itself lasts 25+ years. The surface sealer needs refreshing every 2–3 years in El Paso's UV environment to maintain the finish and color. Neglected sealing leads to fading and surface wear. With regular maintenance, stamped concrete holds up well.
Is stamped concrete slippery when wet?
Certain patterns can be slippery when wet, especially with high-gloss sealers. We can add anti-slip additive to the final sealer coat for pool decks, entries, and other wet-condition areas. Let us know the application so we can specify appropriately.
How does the cost compare to natural stone?
Stamped concrete is typically 50–70% less expensive than natural stone installation for the same area. It also performs better in El Paso's heat, natural stone can become extremely hot underfoot in full El Paso sun, and some stones deteriorate faster in our alkaline soil conditions.
