Stamped & Decorative Concrete in Marathon County, WI
Stamped, Decorated, and Colored Concrete Surfaces
Stamped, decorated, or colored concrete is the process of adding colors, patterns, and texture to your concrete surfaces — such as concrete driveways, sidewalks, and patios. With a variety of colors and patterns, stamped concrete will transform the concrete surface to look like natural stone, brick pavers, rock, and even wood.
Stamped and decorative concrete is not much more expensive than gray concrete finishes. It will dramatically change the look and feel of a space, gives you instant curb appeal, and value to your home or business.

Stamped concrete is the technique used to replicate natural stone, brick, cobblestone, slate, rock and even wood. Stamped concrete typically lasts longer than these actual materials, plus is much more economical and durable. As with all concrete, stamped concrete has a long life span and very little maintenance. Since concrete can be shaped and textured there are limitless possibilities to match your home and landscape. Stamped concrete can be used for patios, driveways, sidewalks.
Stamped concrete installation begins similar to normal concrete installation, but during the finishing process, color and texture is added to the concrete and the pattern is stamped into the concrete surface. These stamping pads are used to create the desired design.
Reasons for Installing a Stamped Concrete Patio
Stamped Concrete offers an endless amount of colors, designs, and styles.
One of the main reasons for using stamped concrete is that it allows us to decorate and color the concrete, highlighting your home and landscape and giving it an instant makeover. Since the technique of stamped concrete allows creativity that standard concrete doesn't, you can choose from many patterns to mimic stone, slate, wood planks, rock, brick, pavers, and more.
Stamped Concrete requires very little maintenance.
Stamped concrete is durable and close to maintenance free compared to other materials such as brick pavers, decking, and stone. Sealing the stamped concrete is required once installed and will need to be re-applied every couple years depending on the weather. Our concrete experts can give you the specific details.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is stamped concrete?
Stamped concrete is regular concrete that has been textured and colored during the finishing process to mimic natural materials like stone, brick, slate, cobblestone, or wood. It gives you the look of premium materials at a lower cost with far less maintenance.
How long does stamped concrete last?
Stamped concrete has the same lifespan as regular concrete — 25–50+ years when properly installed and maintained. Resealing every 2–3 years helps protect the color and surface from Wisconsin's freeze-thaw cycles and UV exposure.
Is stamped concrete more expensive than regular concrete?
Stamped concrete costs more than plain concrete due to the additional labor and materials for coloring and stamping. However, it is significantly less expensive than the natural stone or brick pavers it replicates, and requires much lower long-term maintenance.
Does stamped concrete require maintenance?
Stamped concrete should be resealed every 2–3 years to maintain its color and protect the surface. Beyond that, it is very low maintenance — no weeds between pavers, no shifting stones, and no costly repairs common with brick or natural stone.
Can stamped concrete be used for driveways in Wisconsin?
Yes, stamped concrete driveways are a popular choice in Marathon County. When installed with the correct concrete mix, control joints, and sealer, they hold up well to Wisconsin winters. RK Masonry Services uses techniques specifically suited to freeze-thaw conditions.
