Colorado Springs stamped concrete we’ve poured
Rated 5.0 by Colorado homeowners
Had a great experience with Crestone! John was super responsive and fair in bidding the installation of a hot tub pad, sidewalk, and stoop for my house.
Work was great every thing was smooth from the estimate to the completion would highly recommend
Had a great experience with this team, really enjoyed working with John to really capture what I wanted done for my patio. Great team and even better people. Highly recommend them!!
The look of stone, the strength of a slab
Stamped concrete gives you the high-end look of natural stone or brick in one continuous, reinforced slab — no shifting pavers, no gaps for weeds and ants. We color the concrete, press in a stone, slate, wood-plank, or brick pattern, and seal it so the finish keeps its depth.
Underneath the pattern it’s still a properly built slab: 4,000 PSI air-entrained concrete, #3 fiber rebar that can’t rust, graded to drain, and control-jointed for our freeze-thaw — with base prep on the clay-prone sites that need it. Beautiful on top, built to last underneath.
Color that lasts, texture that grips, a slab that endures
Stone, slate, brick & wood looks
Dozens of stamp patterns and color combinations — ashlar slate, random stone, running-bond brick, even wood plank — matched to your home and hardscape.
Color-hardened & sealed
Integral color plus a color hardener gives depth and durability, and a quality sealer guards against UV fade, moisture, and de-icing salts.
Built for freeze-thaw
The decorative layer sits on a real slab: 4,000 PSI air-entrained concrete, rust-proof #3 fiber rebar, proper joints and drainage, so the surface resists spalling through Colorado winters.
How your Colorado Springs stamped concrete get built
The same clear steps on every job — you’ll know what’s happening and why.
Design & sample
We help you pick the pattern, color, and border to match your home, and show you samples before anything is poured.
Excavate & grade
We excavate to depth and set the grade so the finished surface sheds water away from the house.
Sub-grade & base prep
We prep and compact the sub-grade — adding a base course on the clay-prone sites that need it.
Form & reinforce
Forms set to line and grade, #3 fiber rebar tied in a grid across the slab.
Pour, color & stamp
4,000 PSI concrete placed, colored and hardened, then stamped with your pattern while it’s workable and jointed to control cracking.
Seal & clean-up
We seal the finish for color and protection, leave the site clean, and back it with a 1-year structural warranty.

Stamped concrete in Colorado Springs: what to know before you choose
The patterns and colors homeowners here pick most, what goes into the cost, and how to keep it looking right.
The two patterns Colorado Springs homeowners choose most
Ashlar slate
The most requested pattern here by a wide margin: rectangular stone shapes in varying sizes with a slate texture. It’s clean and natural and suits everything from newer homes in Briargate to ranch-style properties.
Roman slate
The second most popular: a slate texture without the strong rectangular grid, so it reads as one continuous stone surface and hides minor variation well.
Other patterns — random flagstone, herringbone brick, European fan, wood plank — are available, but busier patterns cost more because they take longer to lay out and detail. Ask to see finished ashlar and roman slate work first.
How stamped color works
Two colors together
Integral color mixed through the whole batch, and a darker release agent on the surface that settles into the texture. Because the base color runs all the way through the slab, a chip doesn’t expose plain gray.
Earth tones cost less
Tan or sandstone with a brown release, or gray with a charcoal release, are the most popular and the most affordable; dark grays and blacks use far more pigment and cost more. Lighter colors also stay cooler underfoot at our altitude.
Judge it from a cured sample
Always judge color from a cured sample, not a screen: Colorado’s bright light changes how colors read.
What stamped concrete typically costs
Stamping adds the color, release agent, the labor of pressing and detailing the pattern, and the sealer, so stamped work commonly runs 1.25 to 2 times the price of plain concrete — one pattern in one earth tone at the low end, two-tone color and borders at the high end.
What moves the number. Pattern complexity, number of colors, tear-out, and backyard access.
Walkways. A stamped walkway is best poured together with a patio, steps, or driveway.
Natural flagstone and pavers both come with joints to maintain. More detail is in our stamped patio cost guide and our stamped concrete vs. pavers comparison.
Caring for stamped concrete in Colorado
Stamped concrete is low maintenance, not no maintenance — its sealer is what protects the color.
Reseal every 2–3 years
The easy test: splash water on it. If the water soaks in instead of beading, it’s time.
Skip salt and chemical deicers
They attack and discolor the surface. Use sand for traction in winter.
Clean gently
A garden hose or a low-pressure wash is all it needs; harsh chemicals and aggressive pressure washing strip the sealer. Clear wet leaves promptly in the fall, and shovel with a plastic blade.
