Stamped & Decorative Concrete Akron Ohio
PMC Concrete creates stamped and decorative concrete surfaces that bring the look of stone, brick, or wood with the long-term strength of concrete. Serving Cuyahoga Falls, Summit County, and the Akron–Cleveland area, we design patios, walkways, pool decks, driveways, and entryways that elevate curb appeal while standing up to Northeast Ohio’s freeze–thaw cycles. From integral color and antiquing release to saw-cut borders and protective sealers, we deliver eye-catching, durable hardscapes tailored to your home’s architecture.

Benefits of Concrete Patios
Decorative concrete delivers premium aesthetics without sacrificing strength, giving you the character of natural materials with the reliability of reinforced concrete.
- Design versatility: Choose from stone, slate, brick, cobblestone, board-form wood, or custom textures, plus borders, bands, and saw-cut patterns.
- Rich, lasting color: Integral color, color hardeners, and antiquing releases create layered, natural-looking tones; UV-stable sealers help resist fading.
- Climate-ready durability: Air entrainment, proper base prep, and quality curing help resist freeze–thaw damage and de-icing salts common in Northeast Ohio.
- Safer traction: Texture options and slip-resistant additives improve grip on pool decks, steps, and sloped walks.
- Lower maintenance than pavers or natural stone: No shifting joints or weed growth; periodic resealing keeps surfaces protected and vibrant.
- Cohesive curb appeal: Custom borders, insets, and control-joint placement that aligns with the pattern for a clean, professional look.
- Long-term value: Combines upscale appearance with structural performance, supporting resale appeal and reduced lifecycle costs.
Stamped & Decorative Concrete Install Process
Our process balances artistry and engineering—meticulous prep, proper timing, and protection to ensure sharp detail and lasting performance.
- Design and planning: Confirm pattern, color system, borders, and joint layout; assess drainage, slopes, and sun exposure; coordinate access and utilities.
- Base preparation: Excavate as needed; install and compact a graded stone base; set forms to precise elevations to manage water away from structures.
- Reinforcement and mix selection: Place fiber, wire mesh, or rebar per load needs; specify an air-entrained, workability-appropriate mix for stamping.
- Placement and finishing window: Pour, strike off, and float; apply color hardener (if specified) and/or integral color; achieve the ideal surface set for stamping.
- Stamping and detailing: Apply release agent; place texture mats and stamp evenly for consistent depth; hand-tool edges, grout lines, and complex areas.
- Joints and borders: Cut control joints to calculated spacing and align them with the pattern; install decorative borders or bands as planned.
- Cleaning, curing, and sealing: Remove residual release; cure properly to develop strength; apply a high-quality sealer suited to traffic and exposure with optional slip-resistant additive.
- Final walkthrough and care: Review maintenance schedule (cleaning, reseal intervals, ice-melt guidance), and provide warranty details.
