Stamped Concrete

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.

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.
