The Stamped Concrete Process

There are many forms of decorative concrete. Polished concrete is a popular choice, as is stamped concrete. The process of producing stamped concrete involves the preparation of the ground to remove any trace of weeds etc. A hardcore base or waterproof membrane can then be applied if required. The next stage is pouring concrete across the entire area which will then be leveled and smoothed. The stamping process can now begin. As the concrete begins to set we can make a series of indentations or lines to resemble the exact appearance of a paved area. It is also possible to add various aesthetic designs and even writing. Perhaps a welcome sign at the start of your driveway, it is all possible.
