Our Stamped Concrete Patio Installation Process
When it comes to creating a stunning stamped concrete patio, the installation process is crucial to achieving long-lasting results. Our expert team follows a detailed, step-by-step approach to ensure every aspect of your project is handled with precision and care.
Step 1: Initial Consultation
It all begins with a brainstorming session with our concrete patio experts to review your ideas and the endless possibilities for your stamped concrete patio. This will facilitate the process and our concrete patio installers can present you with possible combinations of colors and patterns that will blend in with your home, business, and other landscaping. At this point, our concrete patio contractor will discuss any questions or concerns you have, such as cost, timeline, etc. Please keep in mind that we cannot pour concrete when the weather is poor, so it is important to add some flexibility to the timeline.
Step 2: Site Preparation
Our process of constructing a stamped concrete patio will start by excavating the proposed areas and tamping the soil for proper compaction as needed. Next, we will form up the area, place, and grade a 4 inch clean stone base for the concrete.
Step 3: Pouring & Reinforcing
With the base in place, we pour high-quality 4,000 psi fiber-reinforced concrete into the forms. This strong concrete mix ensures your stamped concrete patio can withstand daily wear and tear. For additional strength, we also use 6″ x 6″ wire mesh reinforcement and a 3′ on center rebar mat throughout the areas being poured. Proper construction and control joints are used to help reduce any shrinkage cracks that may occur in your stamped concrete patio.
Stamped Concrete Patio Stamping & Color Process
We use Solomon’s concrete colors. The color of choice is mixed throughout the concrete. The concrete is poured and finished to a smooth surface. When the concrete is firm enough for the stamping process we broadcast a BrickForm release agent. This process keeps the stamps from sticking to the concrete and adds a secondary color for a realistic, natural look. The concrete is then stamped with the pattern of choice. Once the concrete is cured enough the area will be power washed and sealed for color enhancement and protection from the elements. The sealer being applied will have a slip-resistant additive for traction.
