Stamped Concrete by Legacy General Contractor
CUSTOM STAMPED CONCRETE — COBBLESTONE, SLATE, BRICK & WOOD PLANK PATTERNS
Our stamped concrete process starts with a properly prepared subbase and reinforced slab. After pouring and screeding, we apply color hardener for surface color, then press pattern stamp mats into the fresh concrete to create realistic stone, brick, slate, or wood textures. Release agent prevents sticking and adds secondary color depth. After curing, we pressure wash and apply high-quality sealer for long-lasting protection and sheen.
Starting at $12 per sq ft

Our Stamped Concrete Process
Step 1 — Design Selection
Choose pattern, primary color, accent color, and border options. We provide samples and can visit your property to recommend complementary designs.
Step 2 — Subbase & Forming
Excavate, compact subgrade, place aggregate base, and set forms. Install rebar or wire mesh reinforcement.
Step 3 — Pour & Color Application
Pour concrete, screed, bull float, and apply color hardener to the surface. Work hardener into the concrete with floats and trowels.
Step 4 — Stamping
Apply release agent (powder or liquid) and press stamp mats into the concrete at the correct timing. Align patterns and maintain consistent depth.
Step 5 — Detail Work
Touch up edges, grout lines, and transitions. Remove excess release agent after initial set.
Step 6 — Sealing
After proper curing, pressure wash to reveal color depth, then apply high-quality sealer for protection and sheen.

FAQs About Stamped Concrete
How long does stamped concrete last?
Properly installed and maintained stamped concrete lasts 25+ years. Re-sealing every 2-3 years preserves the color and protects against freeze-thaw damage.
Is stamped concrete slippery?
The texture from stamp patterns provides good traction. For areas like pool decks, we can apply non-slip additive to the sealer for additional grip.
Can stamped concrete crack?
Like all concrete, stamped concrete can develop hairline cracks. Proper subbase, reinforcement, and control joints minimize cracking. Minor cracks often blend into the pattern and are barely noticeable.
