It doesn't really matter if your goal is to achieve the rich terracotta-colored villas of Italy or the natural slate colours, but this is where it happens. We don't apply color evenly because it results in a messy, fabricated look which most people don’t want. Instead, we apply color powders to the concrete. The powders chemically bond with concrete and permanently stain it. It doesn't contain any unnecessary paint. When concrete dries, natural patterns are formed and prepare concrete for next step.
Concrete pavers can come as individual pieces or in multiple patterns. Pavers are more labor intensive than stamped concrete. Because they are unique, they can shift over time and allow weeds through the joints. Stamped concrete can provide a similar appearance to stamped concrete without these issues.

Step 1 - First, professional concrete contractors will evaluate the area that requires resurfacing. The slab must be in good enough shape to be eligible as an overlay. It is possible to repair surface damage, but it is not recommended that you replace the entire slab if there are cracks or holes too deep.
Step 2: The slab must be prepared for surface use if it is determined that it is eligible. This is where the surface is cleaned, ground and if necessary, made to adhere the overlay.
