Stamped concrete is made by pouring concrete and then imprinting a pattern or texture until it dries thoroughly. The imprint is intended to give the concrete the appearance and feel of other materials, including stone, slate, brick, tile, and wood. Since it is imprinted onto a single concrete slab, stamped concrete differs from pavers or similar surfaces. Pavers are segmented concrete parts used to create a pattern but are not attached to form a single piece of concrete.
