Finished Surfaces That Add Visual Interest

Stamped, stained, and colored concrete installation serving Greeley, Colorado and surrounding communities.

When you want a patio, walkway, or entryway that stands out, Sons of Concrete LLC installs decorative concrete with custom patterns, textures, and colors. Homes across Greeley use stamped and stained finishes to create outdoor surfaces that resemble brick, stone, or tile without the higher cost or maintenance. You get a durable concrete base with a finished appearance that holds up to Colorado weather and foot traffic.

Decorative concrete starts with a standard pour and includes additional steps to apply the chosen finish before the surface fully cures. Stamping presses patterns into the wet concrete using mats that replicate natural materials. Staining or coloring adds depth and variation to the surface, and a sealer is applied after curing to protect the finish and make cleaning easier. Sons of Concrete LLC is a family-owned contractor with decades of experience creating decorative outdoor surfaces throughout Greeley and Northern Colorado. You work with professionals who understand how to prepare, finish, and seal concrete so the appearance lasts for years.

How the surface looks after installation

Sons of Concrete LLC pours the concrete and begins the decorative process while the surface is still workable. In Greeley, timing is critical because temperature and humidity affect how long you have to stamp or stain before the concrete hardens. Color is either mixed into the concrete or applied as a dry shake hardener on the surface. Stamps are pressed into the concrete to create texture and pattern, and release agents prevent the mats from sticking. Stains are applied after the concrete cures if you want a translucent or variegated finish.

After the work is complete, you see a surface with defined patterns and consistent color that mimics the look of natural stone, slate, or pavers. The texture provides slip resistance, and the sealer gives the finish a matte or glossy sheen depending on your choice. Patios become functional outdoor spaces with visual appeal, and walkways add curb appeal without the cost of individual pavers. The concrete stays intact through freeze-thaw cycles because it is poured and reinforced like standard flatwork, with the decorative layer bonded to the slab.

Decorative concrete requires resealing every two to three years to maintain the finish and protect against moisture and UV damage. Sons of Concrete LLC does not offer ongoing maintenance or resealing services, but the initial application is designed to last for years before the first reseal is needed. The surface can be pressure washed, though high-pressure settings may damage the sealer over time.

Questions that come up during planning

Homeowners in Greeley often ask about color options, texture choices, and how the finish holds up compared to plain concrete. These questions help determine whether decorative concrete is the right fit for the space and how much maintenance you should expect.

What is the difference between stamped and stained concrete?
Stamped concrete uses texture mats to press patterns into the surface while it is still wet, creating the look of stone or brick. Stained concrete applies color after the slab cures, producing a translucent or mottled finish without added texture.
How long does the color last on decorative concrete?
Color mixed into the concrete lasts as long as the slab itself, while surface stains and sealers fade over time with sun exposure. Resealing every two to three years keeps the finish vibrant and protects the underlying concrete.

Is decorative concrete as durable as standard concrete?

Decorative concrete is built on the same high-quality concrete base as standard installations, with added design techniques and finishes applied by experienced professionals. When properly installed and maintained, it delivers long-lasting performance along with enhanced visual appeal, making it an excellent choice for patios, walkways, and outdoor living spaces.

What patterns are available for stamped concrete?
Sons of Concrete LLC offers patterns that resemble slate, flagstone, cobblestone, brick, and wood plank. You choose the pattern and color during the planning phase, and samples are available to help you decide.
How do you clean decorative concrete?
You can clean decorative concrete with mild soap and water or a pressure washer on a low setting. Avoid harsh chemicals or high-pressure washing, as both can wear down the sealer and dull the finish over time.
