Concrete is more cost effective without sacrificing the appearance of brick or natural stone. 

Brick, pavers, and stone will separate over time, leading to liability risks of tripping. Replacing sections of brick, pavers, or stone can become a nightmare. You don't deal with any of these issue with concrete.

Unlike brick, natural stone, or pavers, stamped concrete offers no weeds, a level surface, & low maintenance.

A reseal is recommended every three to five years. This will keep your stamped work protected and beautiful. 

Stamped concrete eliminates spraying weed killer, weeding, and in some cases the mowing of your patio. Stamped concrete prevents cracks that allow for dirt to settle and weeds to grow..

Thinking of adding a pergola, pavilion, gazebo, arbor, or any kind of structure now or down the road? These types of structures should be bolted down to concrete to be secure and not to brick, stone, or pavers.
