You probably have heard the expression re and re, this is one of those jobs.

We have taken out the cracked exposed aggregate driveway, formed up, leveled the ground, installed the rebar for extra strength, than poured the borders and exposed them. on the picture below the borders are covered by poly for protection before the next pour.

A week later poured the area for stamping

After letting it cure for a few days, came to cut it than sealed
 it. As you can see it below its all done 3 -4 weeks from now

10 Quick Tips About stamped concrete

Even before start placing and stamping, calculating the cost of
stamped concrete or a concrete driveway, sidewalk, patio, there
are a number of factors to consider as a local concrete contractor.

Stamped Concrete

1, Using the right mix:
consider air temperature and weather conditions ,concrete color, strength,
rock size, (take it easy with accelerators)

2, Choose the right shade of release powder, or mix in the right amount of
color in the liquid release.


3, Consider Reinforcement:
steel, wire mesh, fiber, micro fiber

4, Cuts:
 cut your stamped concrete at preparation for stamping, or within 2-3 days

5,Details:
They can 'make or break' the look of your concrete works

6, Give enough time for stamping:
Perfect timing of the works makes your concrete look great and you can
finish up with ease

7, Sealing:
Pick a dry but not hot day for sealing. Leave no water after washing,
use a blow drier to dry it,and if you're using a blow torch don't come
close with the sealer to it. For long lasting and great look use a high
quality sealer, for more traction mix in shark grip.


8, Try not to guarantee cracks!
Ive seen industrial strength high rise building concrete cracks,
I'm talking about strong thick concrete. Even if being compelled by
the contractor, or house owner at taking on the job, don't fall for
guarantying your slab,but tell them about your way of minimizing
the damage by putting in sufficient number cuts to control the cracking!


9, Preparation:
An over all well prepared area for concrete pour can make a big difference
in the long run, so don't leave soft spots. Use proper road base etc. tamper well.
form it straight and solid.


10, Have fun doing it
 but pay attention to all details!

To Stamp, or not to Stamp

What to do in the long winter season?
...If your specialty for example Stamped Concrete.

well you might be out of luck for a variety of different reasons:

1, Subzero temperatures
2, Rain
3, Snow

Too much risk is involved placing it, and never mind trying to seal
your stamped concrete in this weather. Your best choice would be
to wait the winter weather out and do it in mild weather.

In the mean time get other concrete related work you'll be glad you did.

Garage Floors a-z by Stamped Concrete

Once the foundation is done fill it with "road base" gravel to the desired level leaving enough space for concrete an average of 4 inches. Than start drilling the two inch deep holes in the foundation every 2 feet for the half inch rebar. (make sure its couple inches below the desired concrete height) (You also can go with wire mash which gives extra strength to the concrete floor) Insert the rebar in the wholes than tie them together to give extra strength to the garage floor.

Pour the concrete preferably use a concrete pump, than finish the surface smooth either by hand trowel, or for long lasting hard polished product, use a power trowel.  by John Tar

When it's done properly,
Stamped Concrete looks beautiful!

...But first you have to place the right type of concrete
and get a pattern and color that looks best with the
surroundings to get the desired look.

Without the experience of seasoned cement finishers,
stamped concrete would not turn out nice, but using
dedicated professionals the whole process is a breeze.

How long have you been working as a cement finisher

How Do I Get Stamped Concrete Done In The Vancouver Rain?

How Do I Get Stamped Concrete Done In The Vancouver Cold  Rain?


I personally do not recommend placing any concrete in the Vancouver rain,
but never the less if you must, you better be ready to deal with it.

You're one of the risk takers,  make sure the weather forecast calls for a clearing
strand. You can do Stamped Concrete on an overcast day with minimum amount
of accelerator on a cold day.

If you happen to have a roof over the slab that helps. Now all you got to do is
pay attention to drippings, and the side openings like windows, and doors.
Poly, and plywood are your friends, so use them to protect your concrete.


An outdoors pour in the rain is a different story, you can prepare in advance to a
certain level to cut damages while placing, and finishing covering everything up
with tarps, and poly, but remember do it before hand, because if rain hits your
slab you're set back hours finishing.

Stamped Concrete Spring Cleanup, Vancouver Concrete Contractors Update

Stamped Concrete Spring Cleanup, Vancouver Concrete Contractors Update

If you're anything like me you can't wait to clean up the house at the end of long grey,
rainy winter in the Greater Vancouver Area.

...And as you're power washing your walkways, driveways, and patios start noticing some sinking, or new cracks, peelings, fading of stamped concrete,  and some chippings in your concrete. With the spring, and warm temperatures just around the corner this is the time to take care of all that getting in touch with your local concrete contractors to fix, recreate the new look of the raggedy old looking concrete surfaces.

The patching, re sealing or as last resort, the removal, of old concrete could be a question of looks, and also a safety issue in some cases, (like stairs for example). I've seen cracked foundations with water seeping through into the basement, that can be properly taken care of .

The pouring of new stamped driveways sidewalks, stairs, patios, will put your mind at ease using reliable long lasting concrete products. Weather plain broom finished, nice looking exposed aggregate, or the exclusive stamped concrete, these, and related concrete works  can be done within days ahead of the busy summer season.
