Stamped Overlay
This patio from Houston Home Improvement Patio Covers features a stamped concrete overlay floor. According to the builder, “…. an overlay is a wise alternative to pouring new concrete, 1/4-inch overlays can be poured over existing concrete, ever-increasing in popularity, this allows customers to get a new look and feel for their existing concrete without the hassle of demolition and a whole new pour. ”
Flower Pattern
Stamped concrete patterns can range from rustic to ritzy, depending on the pattern you select. The use of a concrete stamp mat can be utilized by anyone interested in creating their own pattern, such as the flower pattern shown here.
Wood Plank Stamped Concrete
If you like the look of wood flooring, try a wood plank stamped concrete patio! Outdoor Contracting creates this stamped and stained surface so the patio looks like it’s made from well-preserved antique wood.
Gray Circular Pattern
The randomness and irregularities in this gray stamped concrete patio give the illusion of a surface that was hand-laid, stone by stone. Plus, a circular patio is charming and unexpected.
Leaf Print
If you want a one-of-a-kind patio, you can imprint designs, such as the leaf design shown here, to create something no one else will have. You could add imprints in a few sections of your patio or along the edges. After you install the concrete patio yourself, or have it done by a contractor, take the leaves and other objects and go for it!
