They were also very flexible in allowing me to install some under-driveway drainage for my downspouts while they were working. There was some minor cosmetic damage that occurred during the installation, but they were quick and fair in rectifying the issue. The driveway itself looks amazing. I would definitely hire them again."

Stamped concrete is simply concrete that’s colored and stamped to mimic brick, tile, stone, or even wood. Installers pour the slab, add pigment, press the design in while it cures, and seal the surface for a finished look you’ll love. Expect basic patterns to start around $8 per square foot—well below the cost of actual pavers or slate—while intricate, multi-color designs can reach $28 per square foot. Even at the high end, you’re still getting a budget-friendly alternative to natural materials.
A stamped concrete overlay costs between $3 and $5 per square foot, making it an affordable choice to update an existing surface. This overlay option refreshes outdated concrete by adding design elements such as multiple colors and custom patterns. In a 100-square-foot project, the expense is between $300 and $500, and the process enhances appearance with minimal additional work.
Stamped concrete lasts up to 25 years when installed by expert professionals using quality materials. This durability means your surface is engineered to remain attractive and strong throughout its lifespan. Regular resealing every two to five years and prompt repairs ensure the concrete maintains its integrity and visual appeal over its whole lifespan.
Yes. Stamped concrete typically runs about $12 per square foot, which comes in well under the price of most brick or slate pavers. You’ll get the same custom look without paying for individual stones or the extra labor it takes to set them. Add in lower maintenance over time—no weeds growing between joints—and stamped concrete often wins on both upfront and long-term cost.
Stamped concrete gives you near-endless design options at a price lower than brick or stone. Choose from dozens of patterns and colors to tailor the look to your patio, driveway, or walkway. On the downside, stamped concrete requires professional installation and periodic resealing to maintain its visual appeal and durability. Evaluating these factors can help you decide if the aesthetic and functional benefits justify the higher upfront investment and the ongoing maintenance efforts.
