The decorative concrete work we do

  • Color and texture on a new pour

    We mix color into the fresh concrete and stamp, texture or expose the stone on top, which suits a project where the old slab is coming out anyway.

  • Overlay on your existing slab

    A cement-based layer goes over the concrete you already have and takes on color and texture, which can suit a slab that's sound but plain.

Can I add color and texture to concrete in Wichita Falls?

Decorative concrete in Wichita Falls gives a patio, walk or floor color and texture through methods like coloring, stamping, polishing and sealers, used alone or together, either on a new pour or as an overlay on the slab you already have. We're based in Wichita Falls and work in Burkburnett, Iowa Park and other cities in the area.

Most people who call me have a plain gray patio or walk they're tired of, or a new project they'd like to look like more than a slab, and pressed patterns like our stamped concrete work are only one way to get there. The price moves with the size, whether we pour new or overlay what's there, how many colors and textures you want and how much ground work the site needs, while the schedule turns mostly on curing, the wait while fresh concrete hardens before it can be sealed. If the budget gets tight, I'd rather drop a second color than skimp on the base, because nobody sees the base on the first day but everybody sees a slab that settles later. Before we start, we check with the city about permits and handle the application when one is needed, and your estimate lists what the job includes.

Decorative concrete from the base to the seal

I start by asking how you'll use the surface, since a backyard patio and a polished indoor floor from our concrete floor installation work call for different finishes and sealers.

  • Overlay or new pour

    I look at your current slab with you, and we decide together whether an overlay on top or a new pour makes more sense.

  • Color settled early

    We settle the color first, because integral color is pigment mixed into the whole batch, while a color hardener only colors the surface.

  • A packed base and forms

    We dig out and pack the subgrade, the ground the slab sits on, and plan any concrete retaining walls a sloped yard needs first.

  • Joints in the pattern

    We cut control joints, planned lines that give the slab a place to crack, and on an overlay we carry the old ones through.

Questions about decorative concrete

What decorative concrete finishes can I choose in Wichita Falls?

You can choose integral color, chemical stains, stamped or textured surfaces, exposed aggregate, polishing and sealers, alone or combined. Combining them is how one slab carries both color and texture, and I'll go over which ones suit the way you use the space.

Can decorative concrete go over my existing slab?

It can, through a decorative overlay, which is a cement-based mix installed over the concrete you already have. Because the overlay sits on the old slab, I look closely at its condition before suggesting one over a new pour.

How much does a stamped concrete patio cost?

Across the US, installing a stamped concrete patio usually costs about $24 to $29 per square foot. That's the national market, not our price, and your own figure depends on the size, the colors and patterns and the ground work, all of which your estimate spells out.

How long does stamped concrete need to cure before sealing?

One color hardener maker says stamped concrete should cure for 72 hours or more before it's washed and sealed. So plan on sealing as its own step after that wait, not on the day of the pour.

Is sealed decorative concrete slippery when wet?

It can be, since one acrylic sealer's data sheet says the surface's grip may drop with each coat. You can ask for an anti-skid additive such as sand mixed into the wet sealer, which the same sheet says can offset this, and it's worth thinking about near a pool or on steps.

What causes color differences in decorative concrete?

Concrete has natural color variation, and one maker's data sheet says a good curing compound, the coating that helps fresh concrete cure, will darken or highlight it. If you want an even tone, ask us which curing product we plan to use and how it will change the look.

Decorative concrete permits and jobs in Wichita Falls

In Wichita Falls, Building Inspections issues permits and inspects construction against the city's codes, and construction work in the city needs the correct permits and licenses. The city decides whether your decorative project needs a permit, so we check with the city office where your house is before we start and handle the application and paperwork when one is required. The same office licenses and registers contractors, so it's fair to ask any contractor, us included, about their city license or registration, and you can reach Building Inspections at 940.761.7459 on weekdays.

A lot of what we're asked to dress up here is a plain gray patio or walk that's still in decent shape, which is when an overlay deserves a look. We get the same calls on jobs in Burkburnett and Iowa Park, and we handle them the same way.
