By: One Awsome Concrete Milton said, “A stamped concrete patio transforms plain concrete into the look and feel of a stone patio for about fifty per cent of the cost of a stone patio itself. Additionally, stamped concrete can offer other looks, such as brick, cobblestone, and more.” “Stamped concrete technology has made terrific strides.” He added, “For example, using a color release agent will accent crack and grout lines, giving an antique feel to the finish. Plus, it does not settle like individual stones would, you will always have an even surface. It is best to have the color added as the concrete is mixed, as well as adding finishing color.” “One question we always get,” Milton continued, “is whether or not a stamped finish can be added to an existing patio slab. The answer is very much ‘Yes!”, as long as the existing slab is stable and in good condition. Be aware that the height of the patio will be raised by an inch or so.” Milton said a stamped concrete patio has few drawbacks. Beware not to make too deep an embossing on your patterns as it can render the surface uneven and result in ‘wobbly’ patio furniture. He suggests always calling a professional to do this work as it is beyond the ability of most do-it-yourself homeowners.
