Frequently Asked Questions
What is the price difference in stamped concrete and traditional concrete?
Typically, decorative concrete is anywhere from $4-$6 more per square foot than grey broom finished concrete. There are a variety of factors that go into the pricing, including the type of patterns or colors that are desired as well as the size of the Patio. You can most likely look to spend anywhere from $13-$18 per square foot for stamped concrete, which is still a lot less than pavers or brick.
Is Stampd Concrete Slippery
Some of the smoother finishes may seem a bit slick, but in most cases, our stamped concrete is actually more gripping than a traditional broom finish. If you have a concern for slipping, there are anti-slip additives that can be added to the mix to help keep the surface slip-resistant. This additive can be applied without being seen, so if you combine your stamped concrete with stained concrete, you won’t have to worry about seeing a film over your new stamped concrete.
