Decorative Concrete Options for Patios

Gone are the days when concrete patios meant plain gray slabs. Today's decorative concrete options can mimic expensive materials like stone, brick, or tile at a fraction of the cost while providing superior durability.

Stamped Concrete

Stamped concrete uses textured mats to create patterns that resemble brick, slate, flagstone, or even wood. Combined with integral colors and release agents, stamped concrete creates stunning surfaces that are more durable and maintenance-free than the materials they imitate.

Colored Concrete

Integral color is mixed directly into the concrete, providing consistent color throughout. Unlike surface-applied stains that can wear away, integral color is permanent. Choose from earthy tones that complement Florida's natural landscape or bold colors for a modern look.

Exposed Aggregate

This technique exposes the natural stones within the concrete mix, creating a textured, non-slip surface with natural beauty. Exposed aggregate is popular for patios and walkways where slip resistance is important.

Stained Concrete

Acid stains react with concrete to create unique, variegated colors with a marbled appearance. Water-based stains offer more consistent color and a wider palette. Both can transform existing concrete into works of art.
