Stamped concrete is new concrete with a pattern pressed into its surface while it is still soft. A patio or walkway gets the look of laid stone or brick in one poured slab. Color can run through the whole slab, with a second color in the grout lines. BGC Construction pours stamped concrete for homes in Homeland and across the Inland Empire.
As a concrete contractor in Homeland and the towns around it, we pour stamped concrete for patios and walkways. Driveways can be stamped too, for a front yard that calls for more than plain gray. When an old slab is cracked or worn out, we break it out and re-pour it stamped. We look at the job first and put the quote in writing.

Decorative concrete, for us, means stamped and colored concrete. Stamp patterns copy natural stone, slate, brick or wood plank. Each pattern can come with a surface texture or with a smoother face. A border or band can frame the stamped area in a second pattern or a plain finish.
Color usually comes in two layers. Integral color is mixed into the concrete before it is placed, so the whole slab carries it. Release color goes on the surface just before the stamps. It keeps the stamps from sticking and leaves a second color in the grout lines and low spots.
Colored concrete also works without a stamp. Integral color with a broom finish gives an unstamped slab the tint you pick. For a plain gray slab, see our broom-finished concrete patios.
The work starts below the surface. If an old slab sits there, it gets broken out and hauled off. The ground is graded and compacted, and forms set the shape and the slope for drainage.
Next comes the concrete, with any integral color already in the mix. Stamping starts when a fingertip pressed into the surface leaves a clean print with no water in it. The release goes down first, then the stamps. Hand tools finish the edges and tight spots the stamps cannot reach.
Once the slab can take a saw, control joints get cut to guide cracking. The extra release washes off with a hose and a broom. After the slab cures and dries, a clear sealer goes on in thin coats.
Heat makes concrete set faster, so the stamping has to keep pace. The ready-mix industry's hot-weather guide says to avoid the hottest part of the day when possible. In a Menifee Valley summer, that points to an early morning pour.
Sun and foot traffic wear down the sealer over time. When the color starts to look flat, a fresh coat of sealer brings back its depth. Integral color runs through the slab, so a chip or a scuff shows the same base color underneath.
Sealer also needs a cool slab. A sun-baked surface dries the sealer too fast, and it can peel.
