4 Favorite Stamped Concrete Trends for 2015:

1) Seamless textures

With the ability to virtually eliminate grout lines and seams that are notorious for collecting dirt and growing weeds is a great advantage over traditional mortared stonework and grouted tile. The seamless textures offered by stamped concrete give the illusion of natural stone without all the drawbacks of tile.

2) Earth tones and natural coloration: Although stamped concrete does allow for virtually limitless color options including reds, oranges and greens, the latest trends are to create a more natural appearance and mimic natural materials like stone, brick, slate and even wood.

3) Satin sealer: Glossy sealers can create a plastic appearance that takes away from the natural shades and hues associated with natural elements. A satin or matte sealer will still provide a protective finish for your concrete but provide a more earthy look.

4) Borders: Borders like brick, flagstone and even pebble are increasing in popularity. The border will highlight the field area and can create a nice contrast to break up large spaces. A new and emerging trend is the create a pool coping edge stamped in concrete. The pool coping edge can be cantilevered and match the rest of the pool deck or be distinctive and contrasting the rest of the patio.
