You need to look at many things when making the comparison:

Upkeep: It is very easy to take care of stamped concrete. All you need to do is clean it and seal it on a periodic interval. Concrete pavers are a little more diffcult to maintain. The joints inbetween pavers need to be redone periodically. Concrete pavers need to be installed by an experienced concrete contractor who is familiar with the process. If done incorrectly, the pavers can move and not be lined up with each other. An experienced concrete contractor will then need to fix the issue.

Options: There are a wide variety of colors an textures that stamped concrete can be installed with. If you want a custom color ask us. There are about equal options for concrete pavers. They come in a wide variety of textures and colors.

Budget: The price of stamped concrete and concrete pavers is approximately equal. Compared to adding a a concrete slab, the process for installing either involves more labor and requires an experienced concrete contractor. If you look at the long-term cost, less money is required to fix concrete pavers.

There is a continual process of hardening with concrete. Once it is combined with water, the concrete and water continue to react. As the two substances continue to react, the concrete continues to get closer to the ultimate hardness. The utlimate question is when is the concrete ready to perform it function that it was installed for. In most cases, 24 to 48 hours need to pass before you can do any activities on it or drive on it.

Concrete resurfacing has many benefits. First and foremost it can save you money by no having to buy a new slab of concrete. It is a process that invovles adding a small layer of concrete over the top of the existing concrete. It has an adhesive-like material that attaches the new layer to the existing concrete. The new surface has a look that is like brand new concrete. Like concrete, as the new material drys it continually drys forms a stonger and stronger bond. Resurfacing is ideal for concrete that has does not have major surface damage. If the concrete has major damage, such as larger holes and cracks, then it most likely needs to have repair performed before resurfacing.

Concrete is a common construction material made from cement, water and aggregates like sand or gravel. It has many uses from being poured as a foundation for your home to the floor in the grocery store you visit every day. Without concrete, we would not have many of the structures we depend on daily. It's important to note that concrete has been around for centuries. The first use of concrete was found in Ancient Rome where they used it to build roads and bridges. There are records of people using concrete as far back as 1824 BC when they were making mud bricks and mixing it with straw to make them stronger against heat and weathering. Concrete is amazing because it is so versatile. It can be poured into any shape (either by hand or by machine) that allows its strength and durability to be manipulated based on what type of application you need it for!

After being applied in whatever manner desired, concrete stain will typically take anywhere from one hour to overnight to dry depending on the amount that was applied and whether or not it was sprayed rather than poured onto the floor for example. The color of concrete stains can vary considerably depending on what type you purchase; there are various colors ranging from light tones (such as beige) to dark tones (such as black). Concrete stains are available at any home improvement store or online; they range in price from $5-25 per gallon depending on how high quality they are and what type of application method you choose. There can also be multiple shades available for each type. Fox example, there might be 2 different shades of blue.
