Stamped concrete gives you the look of natural stone, slate, brick or wood with the strength and lower cost of poured concrete. Done well, it is hard to tell from the real material. Done poorly, the pattern looks flat, the color looks painted on and the surface wears fast. The difference comes from the prep, the color work and the sealer.
Baltz & Sons Concrete is a family-owned Memphis concrete contractor. We install stamped and decorative concrete on driveways, patios, pool decks and walkways, with borders, accents and colors chosen to fit your home.
“These guys are busy but well worth the wait! The design was excellent and the crews fulfilled our expectations completely. Kevin did a great job with the design of a new cabana and grill station addition to the pool deck. I was surprised later to find that he won first place in Residential Design with his work. These guys are highly recommended!”

“Baltz & Sons was the perfect selection for our driveway project. The owner, Kevin, goes above and beyond for customers. We appreciated how he communicated throughout the job. The creativity he brought to the table was so helpful. My husband and I weren’t entirely sure what the end result should look like and Kevin came up with ideas that were just what we needed, all the while coming up with something that was reasonably priced. Our driveway is just what we wanted!”

“We are more than pleased with the work done by Baltz and Sons Concrete. They redid our driveway and added masonry walls with integrated lights and it all looks beautiful. I can’t recommend them enough. They are wonderful!”

Pavers are individual units laid on a base, and stamped concrete is a single poured slab patterned to look like stone or brick. Stamped concrete usually costs less, has fewer joints and resists weeds, while pavers can be repaired one unit at a time. We explain the trade-offs for your project so you can choose with confidence.
Three things: patterns pressed at the right moment so texture is deep and crisp, color that is layered instead of flat, and joints that follow the pattern. Timing and hand work matter, which is why experienced crews get better results than a rushed pour.
Start with your home: brick and stone on the house often suggest the palette for the patio or driveway. Earth tones tend to blend with landscaping, while higher-contrast borders add definition. We bring samples and help you picture the result before you commit.
Sealer protects color, adds sheen and helps the surface resist stains and wear. Plan on resealing on the schedule we recommend, and clean the surface regularly. Keep de-icing salts and harsh chemicals off the concrete.
As with any concrete, small hairline cracks can appear. Reinforcement, a stable base and control joints placed with the pattern keep them minimal and hard to see. If a crack does appear, it can usually be treated without replacing the surface.
It is a popular choice for driveways, patios, pool decks, entries and walkways. It works especially well where you want a high-end look without the upkeep of natural stone. We can combine stamped areas with plain concrete to keep the budget in line.
