Stunning stamped concrete patio installation in Everett, MA

You do not have to settle for plain gray concrete. Stamped and decorative concrete gives you the look of expensive materials like natural stone, slate, brick, or tile without the high cost or maintenance hassles. At GetItDone Everett Concrete, we specialize in transforming ordinary concrete into beautiful, custom surfaces that add character and value to your property. From patios and walkways to driveways and pool decks, we create decorative concrete that looks amazing and lasts for decades.

What is Stamped Concrete?

Stamped concrete is regular concrete that we texture and color to look like other materials. While the concrete is still wet, we press patterns into the surface using professional stamps. These stamps are designed to replicate the look of cobblestone, slate, flagstone, brick, wood planks, and other natural materials. The result is a durable concrete surface that mimics expensive materials at a much lower price.

We can also add color to the concrete before or after stamping. This creates incredibly realistic results that fool most people into thinking they are looking at real stone or brick. The best part is that stamped concrete is easier to maintain than the real thing. No weeds growing between pavers, no individual stones to reset, no wood to stain or seal every year.

Popular Decorative Concrete Options

We offer a wide range of decorative finishes to match your style and property. Here are the most popular options for homeowners in the Everett area:

  • Stamped patterns: Slate, cobblestone, ashlar stone, brick, wood plank, tile, and custom designs.
  • Integral color: Color mixed throughout the concrete before pouring for consistent, long-lasting results.
  • Acid staining: Chemical stains that react with concrete to create rich, variegated earth tones.
  • Color hardeners: Powder applied to the surface for vibrant color and added durability.
  • Exposed aggregate: Smooth stones revealed in the concrete surface for natural texture.
  • Borders and accents: Contrasting colors or patterns to frame edges and add visual interest.

We work with you to choose colors and patterns that complement your home and landscape. You can mix and match options to create a unique look. For example, a stamped slate pattern with earth tone colors and a contrasting border. The design possibilities are nearly endless.

Why Choose Decorative Concrete?

Decorative concrete offers major advantages over natural stone, pavers, and other premium materials. Here is why more homeowners are choosing stamped and decorative concrete for theiroutdoor living spaces:

Cost Savings

Stamped concrete typically costs 30 to 50 percent less than natural stone or pavers. You get the high-end look without the high-end price tag. This makes decorative concrete a smart choice for budget-conscious homeowners who still want something special.

Low Maintenance

Unlike pavers that shift and settle or natural stone that needs resealing, stamped concrete requires minimal upkeep. Just sweep it clean and reseal every few years. No weeding, no resetting individual stones, no ongoing hassles.

Durability

Properly installed decorative concrete can last 25 years or more. It handles freeze-thaw cycles, heavy use, and harsh weather better than many natural materials. The color goes deep into the surface, so normal wear will not expose plain gray concrete underneath.

Seamless Surface

Stamped concrete creates a smooth, level surface without the gaps and uneven areas you get with pavers or natural stone. This makes it safer to walk on and easier to move furniture across. Snow removal is also simpler with a flat surface.

Where to Use Decorative Concrete

Decorative concrete works great for almost any outdoor flat surface. Here are the most common applications:

Patios: Create an outdoor living space that looks like natural stone or tile. We can match the pattern and color to your home or landscape design. Check out ourconcrete patio servicesfor more details.

Walkways and sidewalks: Add curb appeal with decorative pathways that guide visitors to your front door. Stamped concrete walkways look elegant and last longer than pavers.

Driveways: Transform a plain concrete driveway into a decorative feature that boosts your home value. Popular patterns include brick and cobblestone styles.

Pool decks: Stamped concrete is perfect around pools. It does not get as hot as regular concrete, provides good traction, and looks great next to water.

Entryways and porches: Make a strong first impression with decorative concrete at your front entrance. We can create custom designs that match your home architecture.
