How Much Does It Cost To Install A Stamped Concrete Patio?

Q: What kind of patterns can I find for stamped concrete?

Concrete stamps come in hundreds of patterns, including those resembling natural stone, such as textured slate. You can also choose stamp patterns that mimic the look of real bricks or wood planks if you desire. Remember that a custom stamped concrete cost is higher than pre-made designs.

Q: Can you drive on top of a stamped concrete patio?

Yes, you may drive on stamped concrete, but it’s best to wait at least three to seven days after the installation to allow the concrete to cure and settle fully.

Q: Should I seal stamped concrete?

Applying a quality sealant to your stamped concrete every year or two will help to preserve its color for much longer. The sealant protects your beautiful new stamped concrete patio from the sun, weather elements, and car and foot traffic to keep the pattern looking new.

Q: Does a stamped concrete patio cost less than pavers?

Yes, stamped concrete requires fewer materials and fewer labor hours than it does to install a paver patio. There’s also less maintenance since you won’t have to worry about weeds or grass growing between your pavers or bricks.

Q: Where can I have stamped concrete installed?

While many homeowners enjoy having a stamped concrete patio, it can also be used to design walkways, driveways, and even the deck around your swimming pool. Choose neutral, earthy tones like sage or terra cotta if you prefer a more organic look.

Typical range: $2,083-$2,538

Cost factors involved in installing a stamped concrete patio

The size of your new stamped concrete patio won’t be the only thing that affects the total cost. These patios feature a variety of colors and patterns, and certain designs will cost more than others.

For example, if you want more than one color, you can expect to pay more. Even if you use a stamped concrete patio cost calculator, the final bill could be different.

Other factors that may affect your total stamped concrete price include:

Patios with more detailed, complex designs and intricate patterns will raise the total price.
Tiered patios or concrete that uses custom-designed stamps may also cause your final cost to go higher.
Thicker concrete slabs always cost more than thinner ones, including stamped concrete.
Unusual or elaborately shaped patios will cost more to install, as do patios with additional borders in various designs and colors.
Adding reinforcements will make your concrete patio more durable, but they will also cost more.
Different grades of concrete will also determine the final price and the quality of the material.
Patios with poor drainage, areas that are difficult to access, or uneven patios will cost more to correct.
If you need to remove an existing patio, prepare to pay extra for the demolition and removal.

Why consult a professional

When you ask how much stamped concrete is, remember that the job is best handed over to professional contractors and/or landscape designers. Concrete not stamped correctly can develop unwanted marks or ridges and become more vulnerable to damage over time. Experienced professionals know how to help you determine your specific needs based on things like how large you want the patio to be, how you plan to use it, any potential drainage issues, and how close you want it to be to your home. Your contractor should also have a wide variety of pre-made stamps to help keep your total cost down.
