Why stamped

It's the same slab. It just doesn't look like one.

Stamped concrete is poured like any slab. In the hour before it sets it gets coloured and pressed with a texture mat, so one continuous pour cures with the look of flagstone, slate or cut stone. That's decorative concrete without the joints of pavers.

How a stamp goes down

  1. Colour goes in

    Either mixed through the whole load or cast across the surface. That is the base tone you see between the stones.

  2. Release goes on

    A second, contrasting powder. It keeps the mats from sticking and it settles into the low spots, which is what gives stone its depth instead of a flat painted look.

  3. Mats go down

    Heavy rubber stamps pressed into the surface while the concrete is still green. There is one window to get this right and it does not come back.

  4. Wash and seal

    The loose release is washed off to reveal the colour. At A.D.C Concrete, we wait at least five days after the pour before applying sealer, allowing the concrete time to dry.

How it goes

From first look to cured slab

Concrete gives you one pass before it sets. Here's the order we work in, so you know what you're looking at when we're in your yard.

  1. We walk it with you

    Armando comes out, looks at the grade, the drainage and what is already there, and tells you what it will cost. That visit is free and there is nothing to sign at the end of it.

  2. Tear-out and base

    Whatever is failing comes out and gets hauled off. Then the base gets dug, graded and compacted — the step nobody sees and the one that decides whether the slab is still flat in ten years.

  3. Pour, float, stamp

    The pour is the loud day. Concrete goes in, gets screeded and floated, then colour and release go down and the stamp mats go on while it is still green. This is the window that cannot be redone.

  4. Cut, wash, seal

    Control joints get cut so the slab cracks on our line instead of its own. For stamped concrete, the release is washed off and we wait at least five days after the pour before applying sealer.

Before & after

Drag the handle

Three of these were shot from the same spot before and after, so you can wipe between them yourself. Grab the orange handle and pull.

The same walkway finished — a broom-finished concrete path and landing running alongside a brick house.

BeforeAfter

Front walking path

Forms set, base graded, wire mesh tied — then a broom-finished path and landing that lines up with the existing drive.

The same patio finished — forms stripped, edges tooled, and a clean raised slab edge above the lawn.
A freshly poured back patio, still wet and floated smooth, with timber forms and stakes around the edge.
BeforeAfter

Back patio

Same patio an hour apart: floated flat with the forms still on, then stripped, edged and jointed with a clean raised edge.

The same flight finished — poured concrete steps with even risers running up the slope beside the house.

BeforeAfter

Hillside steps

A run of steps cut into a slope beside the house. Forms and rebar first, then poured and finished tread by tread with the risers kept even the whole way up.

Three more, side by side

A driveway mid-replacement, with steel reinforcing mesh laid across the prepared base and timber forms at the apron.
Before
The finished driveway — a smooth jointed concrete drive running to a carport, edged with brick against gravel.
After

Driveway replacement

The old drive came out, the base was regraded and meshed, and a new jointed drive went in against a fresh brick edge.

A curved side walkway formed and ready to pour, with compacted base between a stone-veneer wall and a river-rock bed.
Before
The same side walkway finished — a smooth curving concrete path sweeping between the house and the river rock.
After

Side walkway

A curved side path between two houses, formed to a radius rather than a straight run so it follows the river-rock bed.

Timber forms for front entry steps and a landing at a new-build house, set between a finished sidewalk and bare dirt.
Before
The same entry finished — poured concrete steps and landing running from the sidewalk up to the front door.
After

New-build front entry

Forms set off the sidewalk for the entry steps and the landing, then poured, tooled and left to match the walk that was already there.
