Stamped & Decorative Concrete

Beauty and Durability Combined

You want your outdoor spaces to look amazing, but natural stone and pavers can cost a fortune. Stamped and decorative concrete gives you high-end looks without the high-end price tag. At DCM Temecula Concrete, we create custom finishes that look like slate, flagstone, brick, wood planks, or tile while providing all the strength and longevity of concrete.

Stamped concrete works on driveways, patios, walkways, pool decks, and even interior floors. The process involves pressing patterns into freshly poured concrete and adding color before it fully cures. The result is a surface that mimics expensive materials but requires much less maintenance and lasts longer than the real thing.

Why Temecula Homeowners Love Stamped Concrete

Our Southern California climate is perfect for decorative concrete. The hot, dry summers help cure the color and sealers properly, and we do not deal with the freeze-thaw cycles that damage stamped concrete in colder regions. Here is why this option makes sense:

• Costs 50 to 70 percent less than natural stone or premium pavers
• No grout lines for weeds to grow through
• Single solid surface that will not shift or become uneven
• Hundreds of pattern and color combinations available
• Can be resealed every few years to maintain appearance
• Increases your property value with upscale curb appeal

Popular Patterns and Finishes

We offer dozens of stamp patterns including ashlar slate, random stone, cobblestone, brick running bond, herringbone, wood plank, and seamless textures. Each pattern comes in multiple sizes and layouts. You can choose from earth tones like tan, brown, and terra cotta, or go with gray tones that look like natural stone.

Color options include integral color mixed throughout the concrete, surface color hardeners for richer tones, and acid stains for variegated, natural-looking finishes. Many homeowners combine colors to create depth and realism. We can also add borders in contrasting patterns or colors to frame your space and add visual interest.

Looking to upgrade other areas? We also install traditional concrete patios and driveways that can be finished with decorative stamps for a cohesive look.

Keeping Your Stamped Concrete Looking Great

Stamped concrete needs less maintenance than most alternatives, but it is not maintenance free. You should reseal the surface every 2 to 4 years depending on traffic and sun exposure. Sealing protects the color from fading and makes the surface easier to clean. Regular sweeping and occasional washing with mild soap keeps it looking fresh. Avoid deicing chemicals in winter and heavy impacts that can chip the surface.
