Following Colored Stamped Concrete Best Practices

We do things to differentiate ourselves from the competition. For example, we source our concrete directly from Martin Marietta or other reputable manufacturer. In contrast, our competitors might source their concrete from a 3rd party, which comes with some inherent risks. For one, they don't know exactly what they are getting or how long the concrete has been sitting in the truck. Sourcing concrete directly enables us to have the color injected into the concrete at the factory, which ensures the color is exactly what was ordered and it does not impact the concrete quality. Our competitors dump bags of color into the 3rd party truck upon arrival at the work site. This wastes time and there is a high risk that the color will not be what you ordered. In addition, we offer the CDOT mix, which is stronger and lasts longer.

In summary, it is important that concrete is poured as quickly as possible once it is manufactured to ensure it does not need to be overworked. Overworking concrete will decrease the concrete strength and ability to perform over time.

Stamped Concrete Texture Selection
We have an assortment of texture categories to choose from including paladiano, creative, brick, stone, and contractor's choice. Here are a few at a glance.

Color Selection
There is an assortment of colors for you to choose from for your patio design.

Shape Selection
The design of your patio is only limited by the amount of space you have and your budget. We can build curves with a nice rounded radius, half-moon steps, sitting walls, fire pits, and even wood-like bridges. The configuration and design options are almost endless. Or, we can keep it simple with a functional and economical patio.

Preparation
We work to do the following after the design and estimate has been approved:

1. Ensure the ground is compacted well with a very gentle grade to direct water away from existing structures. The proper grade is obtained with the help of a laser when setting forms.
2. Isolate fixed features and lift the wire mesh or rebar into the center of the slab with piers. You don't want the reinforcement dropping to the ground during the pour.
3. Maintain the appropriate mixture (or slump) during the pour, to ensure the concrete does not dry too fast or too slow. The slump should be adjusted based on the current weather conditions so your patio will function well for many years to come.
