Stamped & Decorative Concrete — Festus, MO & St. Louis Area
Decorative work is about half of what we pour. If you want concrete that looks like stone, slate or wood without the upkeep of the real thing, stamped concrete is the way to get it — and it's the work Dan takes the most pride in.
Arizona flagstone is our signature pattern. We also pour a lot of wood plank and ashlar slate, and one of the most popular looks we do is a stamped border wrapped around a broom-finish interior: you get the decorative look at the edges and a clean, slip-resistant surface where you walk the most.

How we build it
Our process
- 1
Estimate with Dan
Dan meets you on site, walks the area, and helps you pick a pattern and color combination that fits the house.
- 2
Prep and base
We dig out, grade for drainage and compact a clean base so the pattern sits on solid ground and stays put.
- 3
Forming and reinforcement
Forms are set to the final shape, and the slab is reinforced before any concrete arrives.
- 4
Pour and finish
We pour, add color, and stamp while the concrete is at the right stage — timing is everything with a stamped finish.
- 5
Cure, seal and cleanup
The surface is cleaned and sealed to lock in the color, and we leave the site clean.
Craftsmanship
It's all in the details
Anyone can pour concrete. The difference is in the details — the compass points set in the middle of a patio, the growth rings stamped into the end of a wood-plank beam, the chiseled stone face along the top of a wall, the color worked into every joint of a flagstone pattern.
Our work speaks for itself. Our attention to detail is what keeps the referrals coming, and that's how we built this business.

Common questions
Is stamped concrete slippery?
Sealed stamped concrete can be slicker than plain broom finish when wet. That's one reason a lot of customers choose a stamped border with a broom-finish interior — you keep the decorative look and get better footing where you walk most.
Can you match colors to my house?
Yes. We combine a base color with an accent or release color, for example light gray antique with Olympic bronze borders. Dan will go over options with you at the estimate.
My stamped patio has faded. Can it be fixed?
Often, yes. We reseal older stamped concrete to bring the color back and protect the surface. Dan can look at it and tell you whether resealing will do the job.
Which pattern is most popular?
Arizona flagstone is our signature and the one we pour most. Wood plank and ashlar slate are close behind.
Can you stamp just part of a driveway?
Yes. Stamped borders on a driveway are a common way to dress it up while keeping the main surface practical.
