Stamped & Decorative Concrete
Get the luxury look of stone, brick, or tile at a fraction of the cost
Stamped concrete gives you the high-end look of natural stone, brick, slate, or wood without the expensive price tag or ongoing maintenance. If you want an upscale appearance for your driveway, patio, or walkway but do not want to pay premium prices, stamped concrete is your answer. At CoastWorks Hempstead Concrete, we create stunning decorative concrete surfaces that impress your guests and increase your property value.
What Is Stamped Concrete
Stamped concrete is a decorative technique where we press patterns and textures into freshly poured concrete to mimic the appearance of other materials. We use specialized stamps and tools to create realistic impressions that look like natural stone, pavers, brick, slate, wood planks, or custom designs. Combined with color treatments, the results are often indistinguishable from the real thing.
The process involves pouring concrete, adding color through integral pigments or surface treatments, and then stamping patterns before the concrete fully sets. We can create nearly any look you want, from cobblestone driveways to flagstone patios to wood plank pool decks. The finished surface is sealed to protect the color and pattern, giving you a beautiful, durable surface that lasts for decades.
Why Choose Stamped Concrete
Stamped concrete offers advantages over natural materials that make it an increasingly popular choice for homeowners in Hempstead and Nassau County:
- •Cost savings: Get the look of expensive materials at 50-70% less cost than natural stone or pavers
- •Durability: Concrete outlasts pavers that shift and settle over time
- •Low maintenance: No weeds growing between pavers, no individual stones to reset, just occasional cleaning and resealing
- •Design flexibility: Unlimited pattern and color combinations to match your home's style
- •Faster installation: Complete your project in days instead of weeks required for natural stone
- •Weather resistance: Stands up to freeze-thaw cycles better than pavers
Popular Stamped Concrete Patterns
We offer a wide range of stamp patterns to achieve the look you want. Here are some of our most popular options:
Ashlar Slate
This pattern mimics rectangular slate tiles laid in a random pattern. It works beautifully for patios, entryways, and pool decks. The natural stone appearance adds elegance to any outdoor space.
Cobblestone
Create the charming look of old European cobblestone streets. This pattern is perfect for driveways, courtyards, and pathways. It adds instant character and curb appeal to your property.
Wood Plank
Get the warm look of wood decking without the rot, splinters, or maintenance. Wood plank stamps create realistic grain patterns and plank layouts. This option is popular for pool decks and modern patios.
Fieldstone
Large, irregular stone shapes that mimic natural fieldstone. This rustic pattern works well for walkways, patios, and natural-themed landscapes. It creates an organic, timeless look.
Running Bond Brick
Traditional brick pattern that never goes out of style. Perfect for driveways, walkways, and entryways. Choose from various brick colors and grout lines to match your home's exterior.
Color Options and Techniques
Color is what brings stamped concrete to life. We use several techniques to achieve the look you want:
Integral color mixes pigment throughout the concrete for consistent color that will not wear off. Color hardeners applied to the surface create richer, more varied tones that enhance the pattern. Acid stains and antiquing release agents add depth and variation to mimic the natural color variations in stone.
We can create virtually any color scheme, from natural earth tones and grays to warmer terracottas and reds. Multiple colors can be combined to add dimension and realism. Your stamped concrete patio or driveway will have the unique, high-end look of natural materials at a price that makes sense for your budget.
