Getting stamped concrete right is all about timing and technique — it's not a job for just anyone. The concrete must be poured, leveled, and then stamped at exactly the right moment during the curing process, before it gets too firm to take an impression. Color hardeners or integral pigments are applied before stamping, and release agents are used to prevent the stamps from sticking and to add subtle color contrast. A quality sealer is then applied once cured to protect the finish and bring out the color. At Marietta Concrete Company, three generations of finishers know exactly how to nail every step so your stamped concrete looks sharp and stays that way for years.
