Originally designed to resemble real stone, such as slate, cobblestone, or flagstone, concrete can now resemble man made tiles, bricks, or even wood. Stamped concrete, once poured and textured, gets a high quality sealer applied in a gloss, semi-gloss, or a flat finish depending on your choice and can last up to 5 years. Stamped concrete is popular for patios, driveway replacements, pool decks, and more.
