Benefits of Stamped Concrete Driveways

Stamped concrete provides a durable surface as well as a unique look for driveways, sidewalks, patios and more. It is commonly used to surround pools and you can give a unique look by choosing any color. There are several benefits of stamped concrete and here are some benefits to consider before deciding on if you want to add stamped concrete to your home.

Reduced long-term maintenance and care

Stamped concrete is less prone to wear and tear which makes it easier for homeowners to maintain it. There are other surface materials such as pavers that become loose causing cracks. This would be a costly project to have to repave your driveway every year. With stamped concrete because of how durable it is, you will not have to repave it every year.

Installation

Installation is one of the biggest benefits of stamped concrete. Because it is a mixture of water and cement powder, it is easy to do. The three steps include mixing the powder and water, pouring the mixture evenly and stamping the mixture. If you don’t have the right amount of powder and concrete this may cause problems.
Some installers find it more economical to pour concrete and apply a pattern than to haul and place individual paving stones by hand.

Increased longevity

Stamped concrete is one of the most durable paving materials out there IF it is installed correctly which allows it to last longer than other paving materials. However, if it is not installed correctly, the stamped concrete will not last very long so it would be wise to consult with one of our stamped concrete experts beforehand.

Increases resale value of property

Stamped concrete adds instant curb appeal and aesthetic value to a property. You can maximize the return on your investment by choosing stamped concrete over plain concrete.
