Stamped concrete is an attractive choice for homeowners looking to spruce up their outdoor space on a budget. But how do you select a design that’s right for you? Check out the following guide to inform your decision. 

How to Choose Stamped Concrete

1. Color

The color of your stamped concrete will largely impact the overall look of the finished product. If your outdoor space is mostly shaded, a light color can reflect light and brighten the space.

To pick the ideal shade, draw from colors already featured in your outdoor space. Consider matching the hues of your landscaping or fencing. Some homeowners choose to match their home’s exterior color for a cohesive look. 

2. Pattern

There’s a large selection of stamped concrete patterns that mimic a wide variety of materials and textures. Some pavers are made to look like brick, natural stone, or even wood planks. Whatever design you have in mind, consult with your concrete contractor to make sure they offer the pattern. 

3. Maintenance

Concrete is a low maintenance material that only requires periodic reseals. Applying a sealant every six months to a year will protect the surface from the elements, preserving its appearance for years to come. If you choose a style of stamped concrete that’s textured and can trap dirt, consider periodically power-washing the space to maintain its look.
