Stamped concrete services in Bentonville AR - a patterned slab that sheds water
Tired of a plain gray patio or walk? We press a pattern into the new pour and slope it so water runs off.
What stamped concrete does for your outdoor slab
Stamped concrete is a regular slab with a pattern pressed into the top as the surface starts to stiffen, the same moment a crew would otherwise pull a broom across it for grip. At Classic Bentonville Concrete Company we stamp patios, driveways and sidewalks in Bentonville and the cities around it across Northwest Arkansas, for homeowners who want more than plain gray.
Price moves with the size of the area, the pattern and how much digging and base work the spot needs. The schedule turns on the weather and on whether the work reaches the sidewalk or street, since the city's permit comes first then. Your own number comes from the estimate, written after I've measured.
Most people pick stamped for the look, but what I watch is underneath it. We dig out and pack the subgrade, the ground the slab sits on, so it doesn't settle with the dirt. If the budget gets tight, I'd rather simplify the pattern than skimp on the base, because a nice pattern on a sinking slab is still a sinking slab.

Stamped concrete questions we hear
How much does stamped concrete cost in the Bentonville area?
Installed stamped concrete in Fayetteville usually costs about $12 to $24 per square foot, and that's the going rate there, not a quote from us. Where your job lands depends on what I find when I measure, and the estimate gives you your own number.
Why does a stamped concrete patio need to slope?
So water runs off instead of sitting on it. An Ohio concrete group warns that concrete that stays saturated and then freezes and thaws is prone to surface damage, so we set the slope in the plan before the pour. If a surface does flake, a Michigan concrete group calls that scaling generally cosmetic, and it may not need replacing.
Can I use salt on new stamped concrete the first winter?
It's better not to. The same Ohio group advises sand or kitty litter for traction instead of deicing salt in the first year, especially on concrete placed after September. Salt off your tires counts too, since a Canadian concrete group notes it can badly scale new driveways and garage floors.
Which sealer works best on outdoor stamped concrete?
A penetrating sealer, according to one maker's guide, for outdoor concrete that sees freeze and thaw and deicing chemicals, because it lasts and keeps moisture out. The same guide says a cure-and-seal product, put on while the fresh concrete hardens, helps early on but isn't long-term protection, so ask what goes on after it.
Do I need a permit for stamped concrete in Bentonville?
You do if the work reaches the street, curb, gutter or sidewalk, because the City of Bentonville requires a right-of-way permit there, posted where it's visible from the road with a work zone set up. Work done without an inspection is subject to removal, so we handle the application and inspections and check the current rules with the city first.
