Frequently Asked Questions

How much does decorative concrete cost?
Decorative concrete ranges from $18 to $35 per square foot depending on the technique. Integral color adds $2–$4/sqft over plain concrete. Stained concrete runs $18–$25/sqft. Two-tone color work with decorative borders falls between $22 and $33/sqft.
What is the difference between stained and colored concrete?
Colored concrete uses integral pigment mixed into the wet concrete for uniform color throughout the slab. Stained concrete applies acid or water-based stains to cured concrete, creating rich, translucent color with natural variation and depth.
Does decorative concrete fade over time?
Integral color concrete is extremely fade-resistant since the color runs throughout the entire slab. Stained and color-hardened surfaces maintain their color well when sealed properly — resealing every 2-3 years protects the color from UV and weather.
Can you add decorative finishes to my existing concrete?
No — we don't stain, overlay, or resurface existing slabs. Decorative work holds up best when the color and texture go into a fresh pour over a proper base, so every decorative project we do is a new installation (tear-out of the old concrete included). If your existing slab is sound and you only want a cosmetic change, a staining or overlay specialist is the right call and we'll say so.
What decorative concrete options are best for driveways?
Exposed aggregate and decorative saw-cut patterns are the most durable decorative options for driveways. Stamped borders with a broom-finish center are also popular — you get curb appeal without compromising traction.
How long does decorative concrete last?
Decorative concrete lasts 25-30+ years with proper installation and maintenance. The decorative elements — color, texture, and pattern — are protected by regular resealing every 2-3 years.
