Stamped & Decorative Concrete in Marysville, WA
Stamped concrete gives you the look of stone, brick, or slate at a fraction of the material cost, without the joints and weeds that come with pavers over time. Marysville Concrete Pro installs stamped and decorative concrete for driveways, patios, and walkways across Marysville and Snohomish County, matched to whatever style fits your home.
What’s Included in a Stamped Concrete Project
- Design and pattern selection. We go over pattern and color options: stone, brick, slate, and other textures are all available, based on your home’s style and budget.
- Standard slab prep. Excavation, base compaction, forming, and reinforcement happen the same way as any concrete pour.
- Coloring. Color is added either integrally (mixed into the concrete) or with a color hardener applied at the surface, depending on the look you want.
- Stamping. While the concrete is still workable, textured stamps are pressed into the surface to create the pattern.
- Sealing. Stamped concrete is sealed after curing to protect the color and texture and make cleaning easier.
Stamped Concrete and Our Wet Climate
Sealer matters more for stamped concrete here than in drier climates. A proper seal keeps moisture from getting into the stamped texture and causing surface damage or discoloration during our long wet season. We recommend a resealing schedule as part of your project so the finish holds up through Marysville’s rainy winters.
What Affects the Cost of Stamped Concrete
Stamped and decorative finishes generally cost more per square foot than plain broom-finish concrete because of the extra labor for coloring, stamping, and sealing. Pattern complexity, the number of colors used, and total square footage are the main cost drivers. We’ll break these out clearly in your written estimate so you can compare against a standard finish.

Stamped Concrete FAQs
How much more does stamped concrete cost than plain concrete?
Stamped and decorative finishes typically cost more per square foot due to the extra labor and materials involved. We’ll show the cost difference clearly in your written estimate.
What patterns and colors are available?
Stone, brick, slate, and other textures are common options, with a range of integral and surface-applied color choices. We’ll go over samples during your estimate.
Does stamped concrete need to be sealed?
Yes. Sealing protects the color and texture and is especially important in our climate. See our Concrete Sealing page for more detail.
Can I get a stamped finish on a driveway, not just a patio?
Yes, stamped finishes work on driveways as well as patios and walkways. Just be aware that a slip-resistant texture matters more on a driveway surface, which we’ll factor into the pattern recommendation.
