Decorative Concrete

Stamped. Stained. Seeded.

The whole reason Grayline exists: to prove that concrete is a finish material. Three techniques, one obsession with getting the surface right.

Stamped concrete patio

Stamped

Texture pressed into the pour, not glued on after.

Stamped concrete takes the pattern of slate, wood plank, cobble, or ashlar stone while the slab is still green. Because the texture is the concrete, it wears like concrete: no pavers to heave, no joints to weed, no boards to rot.

  • Slate, wood-plank, cobble, and ashlar pattern libraries
  • Integral base color plus antique release for depth
  • Sealed for UV and freeze-thaw durability

Stained

Color that lives inside the slab.

Acid and water-based stains react with the concrete itself, so the color is variegated, translucent, and permanent rather than a coat sitting on top. No two stained floors are identical, which is exactly the point.

  • Reactive acid stains for marbled, earthen tones
  • Water-based stains for a wider, more predictable palette
  • Ideal for patios, floors, and refinishing existing slabs

Exposed Aggregate

The stone in the mix, brought to the surface.

Seeded exposed aggregate reveals natural river rock and stone for a textured, high-traction finish. It suits driveways on a grade, pool surrounds, and any surface that needs to be as sure-footed as it is good looking.

  • Local river-rock and decorative stone seeding
  • High slip resistance for slopes and wet areas
  • Sealed to keep the aggregate crisp and clean

Decorative concrete, answered

  • Does decorative concrete need more maintenance?
    A little. Stamped and stained surfaces should be resealed every two to three years to keep color and sheen. We hand you a simple maintenance schedule and the exact product to use when we finish.
  • Can you refinish my existing patio?
    Often, yes. If the underlying slab is structurally sound, we can resurface, stamp an overlay, or stain it to change the look without tearing it out. We assess the slab first and tell you honestly whether it is a candidate.
  • Will the color fade?
    Reactive stains are permanent because they chemically bond to the concrete, but any exterior surface softens under UV over years. Resealing on schedule keeps the finish reading the way it did on day one.
