Stamped Patio

I think this is a pretty good combination. We used the running bond brick as the border and the cobble in the field. Colors are Hayfield with a “brown” release. The brick matches the release color.

Cobble is kind of a busy pattern as is the brick, but the combination of the two breaks up the business. There are numerous patterns and colors to choose from. Sometimes it is very difficult to choose on your own. Give us a call, I would be more then happy to work with you on your design.

It’s just a small portion of the patio that you can see, but most importantly look at the beautiful yard you see from a beautiful patio. The patio is Ashlar slate stamp. Charcoal on Charcoal. We used a running bond brick border to tie it all together. After reviewing my pictures I thought to myself, why just show the patio? This is what the homeowner sees when they step out on their stamped patio. Oh and by the way, they absolutely love their new stamped patio.

If you like the look of stone, this might be the patio finish for you. While there are several stone stamps on the market this one is called Canyon Stone. The look of the surface imitates worn natural looking  stone. The pattern is an  irregular shape which makes it hard to pick up a repeating shape. We poured this patio over a year ago and the homeowner was gracious enough to send me this photo.  Going from memory, I believe the color is Hayfield with brown accents.  It is a beautiful patio and as you can see is large enough for a firepit, chairs and tables. Feel free to leave a note or contact me if you have any questions.

Do you want a spot for your cat or dog to lay? How about a nice border to go around your exotic plants? We can do that for you. We installed the edging to border the pavers, thereby keeping the pavers in place and keeping the mulch in the bed where it belongs. Oh, and it’s kind of hard to talk about the sitting bench on the wall with such a beautiful cat there. She just loves the smooth top and I would guess that the bench might be a little warmer than the air giving her a nice warm spot to lay. We have a myriad of colors to choose from for your concrete. We build your sitting wall to any shape, size or color you want.  This isn’t something store bought. It is all built by hand to your specific requirements  and finishes. Whether you choose pavers or concrete for your patio you can add to it with a sitting wall or concrete edging.

A lot of times when we pour a patio, sidewalk or driveway the owner wants a border. Borders are nice because they set off the interior portion of the concrete area. In this photo for instance we used a border at the transition area from a patio that was poured years ago to the new one you see here. I suggested the border on this project for two reasons. First the original patio to the left was poured several years ago. I do not know the color or stamp that was used on the old patio. Even if I knew the color of the old patio, I know it  will not match the color of the new concrete patio. So I suggested a border to transition the two patios together. The border  does two things for this patio. It throws in a new color and a new texture. In this instance a  brick border with a darker color. Now, when looking at the patios poured it is much more difficult to notice the difference in the color or texture , because your eyes are drawn more to the darker color and busier pattern of the brick stamp between the two areas.  Something to think about if you are planning on enlarging your patio area.

I have been eager to see the pictures of this patio. We completed it approx. 2 months ago. With  the homeowners assortment of beautiful plants, shrubs, and flowers. Along with the nice tables, chairs and benches it really looks nice. This is a two tone color using a slate texture mat. The colors came out beautiful and the naturalness of it go very well with the surrounding landscape. We enjoyed installing this patio and the homeowners were very nice to work for. All in all it was a very satisfying project.
