Stamped Concrete Driveway

What This Service Involves

Stamped concrete gives the durability of a poured slab with the upscale look of pavers or natural stone in a single continuous surface. We pour a reinforced slab, then imprint patterns and add color hardeners and release agents before sealing. In our climate, correct jointing, an air-entrained mix, and a quality sealer are essential to resist cracking and moisture intrusion. The result is a distinctive driveway that boosts curb appeal and shrugs off Northwest weather with periodic resealing. Grading, reinforcement, and permits are all handled to code.
