Stamping: Stamping is a texturing process, which uses mats to press the design into fresh concrete, giving it a permanent impression. Stamped concrete by Creative USA Concrete, Inc. could be patterned or textured to resemble slate, stone, wood, flagstone, tile, brick, geometric patters or designs to compliment the landscape. Stamped concrete is most often used for driveways, sidewalks, pool sides, patios and floors. Moreover stamping turns out to be very cost effective. The three different procedures for stamping undertaken by Creative USA Concrete, Inc. are addition of base colour, addition of accent colour and stamping a pattern or design into the concrete. A coating of oil is needed to be put on the concrete stamp to keep it from sticking. Stamping outdoor surfaces to resemble stone or brick is popular because the look is usually very realistic and the time and money spent is much lesser. At Creative USA Concrete, Inc. stamps are available in different sizes and shapes. Powdered concrete colouring is also mixed in the concrete to generate a colour before stamping. The finished stamped concrete could also be stained with colour but this does not have a high life span like color mixed into the concrete.

Stencilling is a texturing process in which a stencil is used. The stencil is drifted in the prepared surface of fresh concrete or in concrete polymer. When the mixture dries, the stencil is removed. The result is a permanent pattern. Concrete stencilling is used to create patterns and designs in freshly poured concrete and if done properly, the results can be aesthetically lovely. This service by Creative USA Concrete, Inc. can create an impression of a cobblestone, tiled or some other patterned surface. A colour hardener can be sprinkled over the stencil to tint the uncovered areas of the concrete. As the concrete mixture begins to harden, either a roller could be run across the uncovered areas to create a textured appearance or could be left smooth. A concrete finish can be applied to the surface to seal and lock the desired appearance. Stencils used in the process can only be used once as they get damaged once they get hardened. The stencils come in large rolls and it is important to align the stencils carefully so that the pattern is continuous.

Scoring and Acid Staining: To score a concrete surface, a diamond blade is needed to cut a pattern into the concrete surface. The lines are about 1/8th inch wide and 1/16th inch deep. At Creative USA Concrete, Inc. this process is used for custom designs and tile effects on smoothly finished concrete surfaces. Acid staining is one of the most popular processes done by Creative USA Concrete, Inc. to transform concrete slabs. This is also called coloured concrete. The key to getting acid staining right is experience.
