At B.A. Concrete & Roofing, stamped concrete patios are a regular part of our concrete services throughout DFW and Johnson County.

What Is Stamped Concrete?

Stamped concrete is poured concrete textured and patterned using specialized stamps before it fully cures, creating the appearance of stone, slate, brick, or wood at a fraction of the cost of those materials.

Popular Stamped Concrete Patterns

• Ashlar slate — mimics natural stacked stone, a classic look for backyard patios
• Cobblestone — a textured, old-world pattern popular for walkways and patios
• Wood plank — replicates the look of a wood deck with none of the rot or termite risk
• Herringbone brick — a clean, traditional pattern that suits both modern and classic homes

Why Stamped Concrete Works Well in Texas

• Handles heat and heavy use without the maintenance wood decking requires
• Resists termites and rot that affect wood alternatives
• Offers slip-resistant texture options for pool decks and patios
• Available in a wide range of colors to match any home exterior

Cost Factors for Stamped Concrete

• Pattern complexity — intricate designs take more labor than simple patterns
• Color options — multiple colors or staining techniques add cost
• Size of the patio area
• Site prep and grading requirements

Tips Before Choosing a Stamped Design

• Ask to see completed examples of the specific pattern you're considering
• Choose a color and pattern that complements your home's existing exterior
• Ask about sealant options to protect color and texture over time
• Get a written estimate covering pattern, color, and site prep separately
