As a method of paving hardscape surfaces, stamped concrete is a way to design your walkways or patios. To have it installed here in Boston, our professionals at Triad Associates can guide you on the many benefits of this paving method, including adding color and texture to concrete. Here are a few of the advantages to choosing stamped concrete for your hardscape surfaces:
Imprint patterns into your outdoor surfaces
To add more aesthetic appeal to your outdoor surfaces such as walkways, patios and pool areas, stamped concrete can be imprinted with a decorative pattern. It’s versatility allows to conform to various patterns and appear to be a more expensive material, such as slate or brick in order to complement and enhance the look of your outdoor living spaces. You can also choose to create more complicated patterns such as spirals without enduring the tedious process of fitting together brick or stone.
Choose the color of your concrete
Instead of the usual gray associated with concrete, stamped concrete can be colored by mixing pigments into it before installation. By coloring the concrete, you can choose tones to make your outdoor surfaces look more natural and blend in with its surrounding landscape.
Protect decorative concrete
While stamped concrete may discolor or scratch from regular wear and tear, you can protect your hardscape surfaces by sealing it after installation and then with a clear sealer every few years.
