What Is Stamped Concrete?
Natural Stone Beauty,
Concrete Durability
Stamped concrete is a decorative finishing technique where patterns are pressed into freshly poured concrete to replicate the appearance of natural materials. The result is a durable, low-maintenance surface that looks like stone, brick, slate, or wood but performs like concrete.
The process starts with pouring a standard concrete slab. Before it fully sets, color is applied and large rubber stamps are pressed into the wet surface to create realistic texture and pattern. Once cured, a protective sealer locks in the color and adds a subtle sheen.
Rhode Concrete Corporation installs stamped concrete for homeowners across all 19 cities in Utah County. Owner Bryce Jones and his son handle every project personally, from color selection through final sealing.

Pattern Options
Stamped Concrete Patterns We Offer
Choosing the right pattern sets the tone for your entire project. We offer five of the most popular stamp patterns for Utah County homeowners.
Ashlar Slate
Clean, geometric rectangular tiles in varying sizes that mimic cut slate. The most popular pattern in Utah County.
Cobblestone
Classic European cobblestone with small, rounded stone shapes arranged in a natural layout. Old-world character.
Herringbone Brick
Interlocking rectangular bricks set at 45-degree angles creating an elegant zigzag pattern. Centuries-old design.
Random Stone
The most organic-looking pattern with irregularly shaped stones of varying sizes. No two sections look exactly alike.
Wood Plank
Realistic wood grain texture, knot patterns, and plank gaps. The warmth of wood without rot, warping, or termite damage.
Color Selection
Stamped Concrete
Color Options
Color selection is just as important as pattern selection. The combination of pattern plus color transforms plain concrete into a surface that looks like natural stone, brick, or wood.
How We Apply Color
Integral Color
Mixed directly into the concrete for consistent color throughout its full thickness. If the surface ever chips, the color goes all the way through.
Color Hardener
Powder broadcast onto the surface for richer, more vibrant tones. Increases surface density and strength for a more durable finish.

Our Process
How We Install Stamped Concrete
Our 8-step process ensures every project meets the highest standards. Bryce and his son handle every step personally.
Site Assessment & Design Consultation
Bryce visits your property, evaluates conditions, discusses pattern and color options, and provides a written estimate. He brings physical stamp and color samples.
Site Preparation
We remove any existing concrete, excavate to proper depth, compact the sub-base, and install gravel base material for Utah County's expansive clay soils.
Formwork Installation
Forms define the edges, shape, and grade of your project. We ensure proper drainage slope (1/8 inch per foot away from your home) and crisp edges.
Reinforcement Placement
Wire mesh or rebar is positioned within the forms for structural strength. Driveways get heavier reinforcement than patios.
Concrete Pouring & Placement
Fresh concrete is delivered and placed within forms. We screed and bull-float the surface for a flat, even base before color or stamping.
Color Application
Integral color is already mixed in. We broadcast color hardener for richness and surface strength, then a contrasting release agent for realistic depth.
Stamping
The most skilled step. We press rubber stamp mats into the workable concrete, aligning each precisely for a seamless pattern. Detail work is done by hand.
Curing & Sealing
After 24-48 hours of curing, we wash the surface and apply a protective acrylic sealer that enhances color, adds a subtle sheen, and protects against UV and staining.
Durability
Built to Last
25-30+ Years
Properly installed and maintained stamped concrete lasts 25 to 30 years or more in Utah County. That is comparable to standard concrete and significantly longer than wood decking (10-15 years) or asphalt (12-20 years).
How We Handle Freeze-Thaw
Maintenance Tips
Reseal Every 2-3 Years
Refreshes color, restores sheen, and renews surface protection against water and UV. The most important maintenance step.
Clean Periodically
A pressure washer on a low setting or a garden hose with a stiff broom removes dirt, debris, and organic staining.
Avoid Deicing Salts First Winter
New stamped concrete should not be exposed to deicing chemicals during its first freeze-thaw season. Use sand for traction instead.
Address Cracks Early
Small hairline cracks are normal and cosmetic. If a crack widens or a section settles, contact us before the issue spreads.
