How to Apply Stamped Concrete

Stamped concrete, also called textured or imprinted concrete, is a great option for landscaping your home. This material mimics stone, brick, and wood, and it is available in a variety of patterns. Compared to traditional pavers and stonework, stamped concrete is a much more affordable option. Here are some tips on how to properly apply this type of finish. 

- Make sure your subgrade is compacted and stable before applying the stamps. 

- It is important to know that you can get many different types of patterns from stamped concrete. Several of these patterns are available in a wide range of colors and designs, which makes it easy to find the one that matches your decor. You can also get a very subtle look by applying a thin layer of texture on the surface. This will be less noticeable than a thick layer of concrete. Moreover, it is a relatively inexpensive process.

- Before applying for color release, make sure that your concrete is free of contaminants. Depending on the material you're working with, this material will repel water. Aside from the colors, you'll also want to use a color-safe solution. A water-based stain-repellent is the most common type of color-release agent. A chemical-free color release is also available. It will repel water while letting the color shine through.
