Stampcrete Patio Installation Process
Our team is committed to a high-quality, transparent installation process. Here is the process we follow to ensure you have the best stampcrete patio possible:
Preparation
First, our skilled team will carefully prepare and level your chosen space. By removing debris, excess dirt, and rocks, we ensure a smooth and even patio. Gravel or mesh might be put down to create the best foundation possible.
Pouring Concrete
Next, we’ll evenly mix and distribute the concrete, smoothing it out as we go, making sure there are no uneven spaces. This is critical for a stampcrete patio that won’t crack because of an uneven surface.
Stamping
Now comes the fun part of seeing your design come to life! Using the pattern stamps and color dyes you have chosen, our team will carefully stamp and dye the concrete, creating the desired look.
Curing and Sealing
Finally, we’ll let the concrete dry and cure for 24-48 hours before applying a sealant to the surface. This will enhance the overall look, plus protect the concrete from harsh UV rays, and elemental damage.
Designing Your Stampcrete Patio
We know that designing your stampcrete patio can be a tricky decision-making process. From choosing what color you want, to deciding how big it should be, the planning has the potential to be stressful. We are here to take that stress away for you and provide you with some design guidelines and tips to consider. Let the designing begin!
Define the purpose
First and foremost, ask yourself why you want to install a stampcrete patio. Is it for family dinners outside, or a cozy space where friends can gather around a fire pit for food and conversation? Maybe you want to use it for big summer parties, or maybe a combination of all the above. Before going any further in the design process, decide what purpose you want your stampcrete patio to serve. This will assist in deciding size, additions, and budget.
Consider your aesthetic
Don’t feel like you have to be locked into popular design trends, or whatever your neighbor’s patio looks like. Ask yourself what you want to see when you look out your window every day. If that’s a grey square patio that imitates slate, go for it! Or if it’s a brick look, with a fire pit and retaining wall, choose that! Think carefully about what your design style is, and if you want a second opinion, ask the professionals. They will be more than happy to help you match colors and offer design additions to enhance your patio.
Be realistic
Finally, be realistic with yourself. If your budget can’t afford a huge patio, don’t let that stop you from designing a small and cozy space where your family can gather together. Design big, but let your budget and outdoor space guide you when creating your stampcrete patio.
