Stamped Concrete That Turns Heads in Palos Hills

Stamped concrete is the fastest way to make a patio or front walk look high-end. Picture a fieldstone patio off the back door or a slate-look walk leading guests to the entry. Done well, nobody guesses it is concrete. The secret is in the finishing. The slab itself is built like any other we pour, with old material removed, a compacted stone base and the right thickness. Then color goes in the mix or onto the surface, and a release agent is spread to give the texture natural shading. Then comes the fun part: the texture mats go down the moment the slab can hold a crisp imprint. Borders and corners get hand tools so the texture runs all the way to the edge. Control joints are tucked into pattern lines. Once it has cured, a wash and a coat of sealer make the color pop, and anywhere people walk we mix in a fine grit so shoes grab. We bring samples, hold them up to your brick and siding and help you pick something that looks like it was always meant to be there. Lots of Palos Hills homes have earthy brick tones that pair beautifully with fieldstone patterns.
