Stamped Concrete
Stamped concrete is the imitation form of popular paving materials such as cobblestone, brick, and slate, to name a few. However, stamped concrete surpasses the quality and durability of the traditional forms of creating a walkway, driveway or patio. Stamped concrete is more versatile, economical and lasts much longer.
Unlike masonry pavers or natural stone, cement offers a larger number of options to match each individual need because it can be shaped, imprinted, textured and colored to your taste! Basically you get to pick the stone you like and the impression is pressed in the concrete, its that simple, and stamped concrete can be blended harmoniously with just about any landscape design.
How to maintain stamped concrete
Decorative stamped concrete is valuable due to its strength and endurance. Like conventional concrete, stamped concrete will provide years of enjoyment and service with proper maintenance.
A clear seal will be applied to your stamped concrete at least 28 days after pouring. This time allows the concrete to cure before applying clear seal. This makes the surface stronger and more resistant to dirt, oil and grease stains, and other substances. Even properly sealed stamped concrete requires routine maintenance, depending on usage. Occasional cleaning with a mild detergent or power washing keeps from dirt buildup. Avoid using deicing salts, especially during the first winter, and always remove freshly fallen snow. And maintain the shine and luster in the future by applying a new coat of clear seal every year or two.

Acid Stained Concrete
Concrete staining is a new and innovative way to add a beautiful new look to existing concrete. It creates a permanent, flake-proof color that will give lasting enjoyment. Concrete staining, like stamped concrete, is personalized and offers many color options.
New concrete can be stained, but must cure for at least 30 days before applying. When considering concrete staining on existing concrete it is important to remember that the purpose of concrete staining is to enhance the surface, not disguise it. Concrete stain will not cover major cracks.
Maintaining stained concrete is much like stamped concrete. Avoid using deicing salts, and keep the surface clean by sweeping off the dirt and shoveling snow. If the luster begins to fade, apply a fresh coat of sealer every year or two, or as necessary.
Staining old concrete pads to match a newly poured concrete pad may have a slight difference in color due to different portland cement mixtures.
Heated Concrete
Heated concrete is an added feature to create a warm floor for both your outside or inside concrete surfaces. It can be installed using either heated water or electric coils to provide heat.
