This is one of the most significant advantages of stamped concrete. They’re affordable and less labor-intensive, unlike natural stones that are placed individually. They’re highly versatile; aside from the varied range of designs that can be achieved, other techniques like staining and scoring can be used to enhance its look.
Furthermore, stamped concrete doesn’t pose any tripping hazard because it forms a single continuous surface, unlike stones that can become loose or uneven with time, posing a threat to users.
You have a plethora of options to choose from with concrete stamps to create an area that reflects your taste, interest, and style. Whether you desire to have a stamped concrete patio that appears like it’s flowing directly into your pool, garden, an area that reflects your landscape, or merely a piece of artwork, concrete stamp designs are limitless.
Stamped concrete forms a solid surface that is completely sealed; thus, you don’t have to worry about dirt or grit getting in between the crevices, as you would with pavers or bricks. Their color never fades, and unlike wood, you don’t have to be concerned about termites or destructive insects. Simply keep the surface free of debris using a broom, leaf blower, or rinsing with water.
According to real estate studies, concrete driveways can add 10% value to your property and may also help you sell your home much faster.
Stamped concrete supports green living and helps reduce the adverse effects of greenhouse gases and carbon footprint. In addition, they’re made from readily available natural materials, meaning they help improve air quality, reduce waste, and cut down on your heating bills.
Of all types of patios, a stamped concrete patio is the quickest to install since it goes down like a slab of concrete and reduces labor significantly.
