Stamped
concrete is a common technique used for decorative concrete. It involves
impressing a pattern and/or texture into freshly laid concrete. Therefore, it
requires that new concrete is poured.
If you have
an existing concrete pad that you want to add a stamped pattern or texture to, you may add a layer
of concrete or overlay mixture.
Concrete is
preferable as it is one of the world's most durable materials. However, concrete will require a
minimum of two to three inches height increase. There is another product
available called an overlay mix. It can be applied as little as few inches
thick. But, it does have a shorter life-span than does concrete.
