Phoenix Decorative Concrete
Stamped patterns, integral color and exposed aggregate for patios, entries and walkways.
Stamped concrete gives you the look of slate, flagstone or wood plank in a single poured slab. Color goes into the mix or onto the surface, and mats press the texture in while the concrete is still workable.
Timing is everything on a stamped pour, and Phoenix heat shortens the window. We schedule decorative pours early in the day and bring enough hands to stamp before the surface sets.
Decorative finishes follow a different rule in the right-of-way. Phoenix's driveway policy says concrete finishes other than rough broom, over 10.5 feet in the right-of-way, need a maintenance agreement from the Street Transportation Department. We often stop the stamped section at the property line and run a broom-finished apron to the street.

| Stamped concrete | Exposed aggregate | |
|---|---|---|
| Look | Stone or wood pattern | Natural pebble surface |
| Traction | Depends on the texture and sealer | Good grip from the stone |
| Upkeep | Reseal periodically to hold color | Seal to hold the stone |
| Best for | Patios and front entries | Walkways and pool surrounds |
It can be when wet if it's sealed with a glossy sealer. We add a grit additive to the sealer for patios, steps and pool areas.
Stamped concrete is still concrete, so it needs control joints. We hide joints in the pattern lines where we can.
It depends on sun and traffic. Phoenix sun breaks down sealer faster on south and west exposures, so we look at your site and recommend a schedule.
Yes. The section inside the street right-of-way has its own rules in Phoenix, so we usually finish that part with a broom texture.
