Why sealed stamped concrete can be slick
Freshly sealed decorative concrete can be slick when wet, and a non-slip additive in the sealer cuts that down. We mix fine silica or polymer grit into the sealer so the surface keeps its grip.

Stamped concrete in Lake Elsinore
We pour stamped concrete patios, walks and driveways in Lake Elsinore, and we restore and reseal stamped concrete that has gone faded and chalky.
Patios, walks and driveways are what the trade calls "flatwork". A stamped one is pressed with a pattern and texture while the concrete is still workable, then colored and sealed, so it reads like stone but stays one solid slab.
New stamped concrete
A new patio, walk or driveway from the ground up, with the site prep, forms and pour quoted as one job.
Faded slabs restored
Acrylic sealer brings back the color depth and wet look a stamped slab loses over the years.
Resealing
Pressure washed, left to dry and rolled with sealer, with a non-slip additive mixed in for grip.
Pattern, texture and color
Stamped patterns and colors
Stamped concrete takes a pattern and a texture, and its color is either mixed into the concrete or broadcast on the surface as color hardener.
What it costs
How stamped concrete is priced
We price stamped concrete by the area, the pattern and the color, and we price resealing by the area of the slab.
Concrete costs move with the size of the job, the finish, the site prep it needs and labor rates. On a stamped job, the pattern and color you pick are the finish.
What moves the price on a stamped job:
- Area. The square footage of the patio, walk or driveway.
- Pattern and texture. The stamp layout you choose for the slab.
- Color. Integral color, color hardener or both.
- Site prep. Old concrete out, grading and forms before the pour.
Typical range in Lake Elsinore

Bringing the color back
Resealing stamped concrete
We pressure wash the surface, let it dry all the way and roll on sealer with a non-slip additive mixed in.
Acrylic sealer restores the color depth and wet look that sun and foot traffic take out of a stamped slab, which is why a faded patio often needs a reseal and not a tear-out.
Every reseal runs these three steps:
Pressure wash
Dirt, grime and loose old sealer come off with a pressure washer, so the new coat goes onto clean concrete.
Let it dry
The slab dries all the way through before any sealer goes down, so the coat bonds to dry concrete.
Roll on sealer with grip
Sealer goes on with a roller, with fine silica or polymer grit mixed in so the surface keeps its grip when wet.

More stamped concrete questions
The questions below sit right next to stamped concrete, and each answer points to where the full story is.
Peeling color and failing sealer
What looks like peeling color is usually the old sealer failing, not the color itself. The trade calls it "failing sealer", and the fix is to strip it and reseal.
Overlays on worn stamped concrete
Worn stamped concrete that is still sound underneath can take a resurfacing "overlay", a thin new layer bonded over the old slab instead of a tear-out.
Straight answers
Stamped concrete questions we hear most
What is the downside of stamped concrete?
It needs upkeep. The sealer wears and has to be renewed, and freshly sealed decorative concrete can be slick when wet unless a non-slip additive goes into the sealer.
Color can also fade in the sun, which is why color hardener, denser and more UV-resistant than integral color alone, is worth asking about.
Is it expensive to do stamped concrete?
Stamped concrete in Lake Elsinore typically runs $8 to $18 per square foot. Where your job lands depends on the area, the pattern, the color and the site prep, and we quote the whole job before we start.
What is the most popular color for stamped concrete?
We do not keep a tally, and the right color is the one that sits well with your house. Whichever you pick, color hardener on the surface holds it longer in the sun than integral color alone.
Can I do stamped concrete myself?
Resealing is the part owners most often take on: pressure wash, let it dry and roll on sealer with a non-slip additive. Pouring and stamping a new slab is harder, because the pattern has to go in while the concrete is still workable, and there is no second chance once it sets.
