Stamped concrete services in Yuma AZ - a patterned finish in the color you chose
Tired of a plain gray patio or a walk that looks worn out? We pour and stamp it in the pattern and color you choose.
Stamped concrete is pressed while wet. The pattern sets with it.
Stamped concrete is fresh concrete pressed with patterned tools before it sets, so the top looks like stone, brick or slate. With our stamped concrete services in Yuma, you can leave it natural gray or color it to suit your house, on a patio, around a pool or along a front concrete sidewalk.
Most calls start with a cracked or sinking patio that the owner wants to replace with something better than plain gray. Once it hardens, the pattern and color are set for good, so it pays to plan it right. In a garage, where tires turn and oil drips, we usually point people to a plain garage floor instead.
The price mostly comes down to the size, how much digging and base work the ground needs, the pattern and how many colors go on. The schedule turns on the weather for pour day and whether the job needs a permit, and your written estimate lays out your own figures.
We plan stamped concrete early. Color is settled before pour day.
Picking a pattern and color is the fun part, so we take our time on it. We settle the color hardener and any accent color well before pour day, because once the truck arrives there's no time to change your mind.
We also choose the pour day with you, because heat, dry air and wind all change how concrete mixes, travels and sets. On hot days we'd rather pour early than in the midday heat, which can leave a weak, dusty top that only shows up later.
Stamped concrete is more than the stamp. Here's what's included.
Base and drainage
We dig out and pack the subgrade, the ground the slab sits on, and set the forms so water runs away from your house instead of pooling.
Steel in the slab
Where the job needs it, we lay rebar, steel bars that keep cracks from spreading or opening up, and pour to a thickness that fits the use.
Color hardener and accents
Color hardener is a powder shaken over the wet concrete that colors the top and makes it denser, and a colored release powder can add an accent shade.
Stamping the pattern
We press the stamps while the concrete is still soft, keeping them lined up so the pattern runs true from one edge to the other.
Control joints and curing
We cut control joints, planned grooves that give the slab a tidy place to crack, then shield it from heat, wind and rain while it cures and hardens.
Sealing the surface
We finish with sealer coats that deepen the color and keep water from soaking in, and we talk through grip near pools and steps.
Stamped concrete starts with the ground under it. Skip that, and it shows.
When the base is just raked level instead of dug out and packed, the slab settles with the dirt and cracks, and on stamped work every crack runs straight through the pattern you picked. Joints that get cut late or skipped, and a slab that falls toward the house, bring their own trouble.
The base is hidden on day one, so it's the first thing people want to trim from the budget. I'd simplify the pattern before I'd cut the base, because a plain finish on solid ground holds up better than a fancy one on dirt that moves.

How much does stamped concrete cost in Yuma?
Stamped concrete in Yuma usually costs about $10 to $25 per square foot for the finished surface, and that's the going rate around the area, not our price. Reinforced concrete runs a little more per square foot than un-reinforced. I'll give you the figure for your own job in a written estimate after I see it.
Do I need a permit for stamped concrete in the City of Yuma?
Ask the City of Yuma's Building Safety Division, which handles permits and inspections, generally requires them for new construction and remodels, and can tell you which work needs none. Outside city limits, Yuma County requires residential permits for new homes, remodels and additions. I check with the right office before we set a date and handle any permit that's needed.
Do I need a permit to pour concrete near the street in Yuma?
Yes, opening, cutting or digging in any Yuma street, sidewalk, easement or right-of-way needs a city permit, with plans showing where the work goes. The city also lets only contractors licensed by the State of Arizona for that type of work do it there, so it's fair to ask, and we're licensed and insured.
How do I know when my stamped concrete needs resealing?
When the color looks dull or water soaks into the surface, the sealer coats on top have usually worn thin. That's your sign it's ready for fresh sealer, and before we leave I'll show you what a faded or thirsty surface looks like so you can spot it.
Will sealer make stamped concrete slippery?
It can, since one sealer maker notes the surface may get more slippery with each coat. Mixing an anti-skid grit such as sand into the sealer while it's still wet helps offset that, and we'll talk it over for pool edges, steps and walks.
