Stamped concrete is not just the next best thing compared to slate, brick, wood, or stone; it might be even better! Not only does it emulate the look of these materials (and others), it is cheaper and more durable than them, too. Imagine having something not just functional but aesthetic as well to welcome you home every single night.
The instant increase in curb appeal from a new driveway is outstanding, and even more so with a beautiful new stamped concrete driveway. And more than just curb appeal, a new driveway can increase a home’s value by 5-10%!
In many cases, a stamped concrete driveway can actually be poured, and molded overtop of your existing driveway, meaning you wouldn’t have to remove your old driveway first.
If you’ve been dying to redo your driveway, but you and your partner haven’t seen eye to eye on the budget, a stamped concrete driveway might just be the solution. They also require less maintenance than many other types of materials, and that’s something everyone in the family can appreciate!
What is Stamped Concrete?
Good question! Stamped concrete is a specific technique to create patios, driveways, walkways, and other durable surfaces that involves pouring the concrete and then molding the surface of it while it is still wet, aka “stamping” it.
The concrete then dries with that design imprinted into it and will last for years to come. In fact, if well cared for, these creations can last for as much as 20 years or more.
Stamped concrete can be made to replicate many different materials, styles, and textures and is available in a variety of colors as well.
If you’re going for the modern farmhouse look, mid-century modern, or a classic, timeless look, there are options within the realm of stamped concrete driveways to perfectly match your vision.
Some of the materials and styles we can create with stamped concrete include:
- Brick
- Stone
- Slate
- Pavers
- And more
It is one of the most affordable ways to completely revamp your home’s exterior and shouldn’t be overlooked next time you make some upgrades to your home. If you redo your kitchen and bathrooms to give them a more modern look, extend that feel outdoors with a beautiful new stamped concrete walkway, driveway, or patio.
