Well, you’re in luck. Fuller Excavating is the company you’re looking for to improve the outlook of your home or business.   Stamped concrete is a continuous concrete surface that has been “stamped” to look like brick pavers, stone and even wood.

Why should you choose stamped concrete over the traditional brick pavers? Stamped concrete is ideal for anyone living in the North Country. In the winter, frost heaves and the cold temperatures can deform brick pavers. Another draw back of pavers is the space left in between. These will ultimately leads to weeds and grass growing in between the pavers and tarnishing the look of your brand new patio or driveway. The solution is easy. Stamped concrete will save you time and energy as stamped concrete has no actual “cracks” and the lines are simply part of the design.

Now that we’ve touched on a few of the benefits of stamped concrete, let’s talk aesthetics. Traditionally many people thought that brick pavers were much more pleasing than a simple slab of concrete and I wouldn’t necessarily disagree. However, stamped concrete is not simply a slab of concrete thrown down. Although stamped concrete will never be identical to the surface it is intended to mimic, modern advance in stamping allows the concrete to look so close to the surface it is imitating that a trained eye would be needed to tell the difference. Because of the look of stamped concrete along with the other benefits mentioned before many homeowners and businesses are choosing stamped concrete over outdated brick pavers.
