The look of stone, without the cost
Natural stone and brick are beautiful, but they cost a lot and take time to lay. With concrete colors and coatings, Bothell Concrete Contractor can give you the look of authentic stone, rock or brick at a fraction of the effort, and blending brick trim with concrete creates a look that is all your own.
Decorative options
- Stamped patterns. Patterns pressed into fresh concrete to look like slate, flagstone, cobblestone or brick.
- Color. Color added to the concrete, often with a second accent color that brings out the texture of the pattern.
- Coatings and sealers. Decorative coatings and sealers that deepen the color and protect the surface.
- Brick trim. Brick borders and bands blended with concrete to frame a patio or walkway.
- Exposed aggregate. A pebbled surface that shows off the natural stones in the concrete.
Where decorative concrete works best
Stamped and colored concrete is a favorite for patios, front walkways and entries, where people see it up close. It also works on driveways, which are built the same way as a standard driveway with the pattern and color added while the concrete is fresh.
Caring for decorative concrete
A sealer keeps stamped and colored concrete looking rich. Plan to reseal every few years, sweep off leaves and needles, and wash away moss before it takes hold. For walkways and pool areas, ask for an anti-slip additive in the sealer.
