To truly define your space, we suggest adding a contrasting border to your stamped concrete.

Ashlar Slate Stamped Concrete Patio

Ashlar Slate Stamped Concrete Patio designed by Blackwater Concrete. Grey Stamp with Tan Border.

Associated with aging, gloomy skies, and industrial coldness, the color gray often gets a bad rap. However, some of the most stunning concrete projects we’ve seen have embraced the beauty of gray.

Grey blends so well with neutral earth tones, giving the space a timeless appearance. For example, see this Ashlar Slate Stamped Concrete Patio in all its glory.

For this project, we used tan borders to contrast perfectly with the grey. We think it looks great! How about you?

Small Concrete Patios That Make a Big Impact

If your backyard (or budget) only allows for a small concrete patio, you can still make a big impact by taking advantage of concrete’s ability to be cast in nearly any shape, pattern, or color.

You can still incorporate many of the design elements used in larger outdoor spaces in a small outdoor space if you know a few simple design tricks. For colors, we recommend choosing something to match or complement your house. And remember, you don’t have to settle for square shapes with straight lines. There’s a huge trend right now for curved patios that blend effortlessly with the landscaping.
