Artistic Stamped Concrete of Rhode Island

     Backyards, especially patios, are being transformed into luxurious extensions of the house. They're the new favorite room to relax, entertain, and cook.  There seems to be a growing trend toward a more casual lifestyle, an aging population and the popularity of porches, decks, and concrete patios in homes. Stamped concrete provides the perfect sanctuary for outdoor living spaces because they are often connected to the house and blend the interior and exterior area's. For example, homeowners can match the stone facade of their home by installing decorative concrete to create a stone patio without the expense of installing traditional individual stones. With stampd concrete homeowners can achieve the look and color  of real stone as well as pavers. 

Save Many Trees: Build a Concrete Patio Instead of a Wood Deck 

According to demesne.com, a web site dedicated to collecting and sharing information about topics of concern for homeowners, the average acre of a modern forest supplies only enough high-grade heart redwood or cedar for two to three decks. Yet more than 600 million board feet of lumber is used annually to build/replace wood decks.  According to the Portland Cement Association, fifteen million trees could be saved each year, if all homeowners selected concrete patios over wood decks.
