Colour families
We hold no photograph of this finish on one of our own projects, so this page does not show one. Everything above is a colour family, not a picture of a material.
Stamped & textured
Stamped concrete
Rubber mats pressed into the wet slab to leave a stone, slate or plank texture. It gets you a pattern for the price of concrete; how convincing it looks is entirely down to the crew and the release colour.
Signature cost band
The middle band. Where most of our projects land once the yard is seen as a whole.

Families, not products. The exact colour gets chosen off a physical sample against your house.
What is true of this material
- Pattern
- From the mat set — ask how many mats, so the repeat is not obvious
- Grip
- Sealed stamped concrete can be slick; specify a grip additive near water
- Re-sealing
- Colour lives in the sealer as much as the slab. It is a cycle
Ask whoever bids this
“What goes in the sealer for grip, and how often does it need redoing?”
