Stamped Concrete
Stamping concrete otherwise known as textures or imprinted concrete, is such a simple yet elegant process in which you can get your creative juices flowing. With different types of rubber stamps and colour options, it really is up to your imagination on what you can do with stamped concrete. With this combo you can have you concrete look like brick, cobblestone, limestone, slate, and even tiles. It is the perfect option to give some extra appeal to your driveway, floors, pathways, and your patio. One of our favorite looks is to combine stamped and exposed aggregate together to create some truly unique designs. A driveway with exposed aggregate in the middle bordered by a brick like stamped design can look incredible.

Exposed Aggregate ConcreteExposed aggregate concrete has been around for a while but it is one of the simplest yet visually appealing finishes available. It creates a beautiful surface that looks like a sea of small stones and pebbles. This look is achieved through pouring a concrete mix with a higher sediment content so there is a higher surface of rock content to work with. Once the concrete is poured, the top layer is taken off to "expose" the magic beneath the surface. You can get a great variety in surface types as different types, shapes, and sizes of rocks can be used in the concrete mix. Another great aspect of exposed aggregate is the texture you get from the stones. This makes it a great concrete for driveways, pathways, stairs, pool decks, and patios.

Stained ConcreteStaining concrete can be a great way to bring way to finish a new project or bring some old concrete back to life. The great thing about staining concrete is that it will actually penetrate the surface and create a translucent effect, similar to when you stain wood. There are other methods of colouring concrete such as with paints or acrylics but all this does is create an opaque layer on top of the concrete. With time, paints and acrylics can peel which will require time and maintenance and eventually cost you more in the long-run. Staining concrete also creates such a luxurious feel to your concrete that you can't really obtain with other methods. By staining, we can achieve looks like polished marble, natural stone, or even the colour of stained wood.
