A recent Herndon stamped concrete project

This November 2026 job ties a whole property together with one stamp:

About 500 square feet of stamped concrete, completed in four days of work.
One slate-texture stamp throughout: a light gray field framed by a dark gray border.
A backyard patio beside the existing wood deck, a side walkway that widens into a landing at the gate, a walkway from the driveway around a planting bed, and a front walkway to the porch.
The existing concrete front porch was coated with new concrete and stamped on the top and sides, instead of being torn out.

Using the same pattern and border everywhere is what makes it read as one project. The dark border follows each curve and frames the light gray field, which keeps a clean edge where concrete meets mulch and grass.

Stamped patios with walls and fire pits

Another Herndon project started as an excavated circle with curved wood forms and finished as a circular stamped patio with a curved stone seating wall, built-in lighting and a fire pit. The homeowner, Brett S., wrote that the patio, lighted seating wall and fire pit "turned out amazing."

Choosing a pattern and colors

Pick the pattern and colors from physical samples, outdoors, next to your siding, roof, driveway and any deck or stone already on the property. Look at them in sun and shade. A light field with a darker border, like the November project, makes curves and edges stand out; a single color reads quieter. Concrete is a natural material, so expect some variation from a small sample, and get the selected pattern and colors written into the scope.

Where stamped concrete fits, and where it may not

Stamped concrete suits patios, walkways, porches and backyard spaces where you want a stone look as one continuous surface. Some homeowners prefer pavers for areas they expect to dig up or change later, since individual pavers can be lifted. Our stamped concrete vs pavers guide walks through that choice.

What's the difference between stamped concrete and regular concrete?▸

Stamped concrete is textured and colored while still wet to mimic stone, brick or other materials. It costs more than plain concrete but gives a decorative finish without the cost of natural stone.

How long did the November Herndon project take?▸

About 500 square feet across a backyard patio, walkways and a resurfaced front porch took four days of work. Time on another property depends on its size, layout and site conditions.

Can stamped concrete be added to an existing porch or slab?▸

On the November Herndon project, the existing concrete porch was coated with new concrete and stamped on the top and sides. Whether that works for your porch depends on its condition and its height at the door, which we check on site.

Do you do the work yourselves?▸

Yes. Concrete Commander is a division of Kenney Construction, the same licensed, insured and bonded company (VA DPOR #2705187519), not a subcontracted third party.
