Stamped concrete services in Dodge City KS - a patterned finish that suits your house
Tired of a plain gray slab out back? We pour and stamp a patterned, colored surface that looks like it belongs to your house.
Is stamped concrete right for your yard?A straight answer from Dodge City
Most folks call us because the patio or walk out back is plain, cracked or tired, and they want something that looks finished. Stamped concrete is new concrete with a pattern pressed into the top while it's still soft, usually with color mixed in or dusted on, so you get a decorative surface in one pour.
The pattern is what you'll notice, but the base underneath decides how it holds up, so if a budget needs trimming I'd drop to a simpler pattern before I'd cut the digging and packing. We also cut control joints, planned lines that give the slab a place to crack, and I'll show you where they go before we pour.
Your price mostly comes down to the size of the area, how busy the pattern is, how many colors you want, whether old concrete has to come out and how much base work the ground needs. The schedule turns on the weather and the cure. Your written estimate spells out what's in it and what isn't.
You'll know where the joints go, what's in the price and what to expect before we pour, so give us a call at (620) 390-0780.
Stamped concrete jobs we take on
We fit the pattern, color and layout to what's already around your house, and we'll say so when plain concrete is the better pick, like most garage floors.
Patios and backyard slabs
This is the stamped job we get asked about most. We pick a pattern that suits the house and slope the slab so rain runs away from your foundation.
Walks and front paths
A stamped path can tie the front door to the driveway and dress up the first thing visitors see. If you'd rather keep it simple, we build plain concrete sidewalks too.
Mixed-in and dusted color
Integral color is mixed through the whole load, and dry shake color is dusted onto the wet surface before stamping. We'll talk through which one suits your pattern and the look you're after.
Stamped borders on plain slabs
A stamped edge around a broom finish, the light brushed texture that gives shoes some grip, dresses up a slab without stamping every foot of it. It's a good middle ground when you want some pattern without stamping the whole thing.

You call or send a note
Call (620) 390-0780, email info@concretedodgecity.com or use the form. We'll get back to you to set up a time to come look at the spot.
I walk the spot with you
I ask how the space gets used and where the water goes, then write up an estimate that spells out what's in it and what isn't.
Permits, base and forms
Once you say yes, we sort out the permit questions, then dig out, pack the ground under the slab and set the forms to the slope we planned.
We pour, stamp and cut joints
We plan the pour around the weather, because hot midday pours can leave a weak, dusty top. Then we press the pattern while it's soft and cut joints where I showed you.
Cleanup and walkthrough
We keep you posted until the forms are off and the cleanup's done. Then we walk it with you, help you pick a sealer and point out the signs it's time to reseal.
Stamped concrete questions we hear
How much does stamped concrete cost in Dodge City?
There's no single price, because stamped concrete is priced on the size, the pattern, the colors and the base work your spot needs. A plain center with a stamped border, one color instead of two, or a simpler pattern all bring it down, while tearing out old concrete or fixing soft ground adds to it. Your written estimate shows exactly what's covered.
Which sealer is best for stamped concrete?
Most stamped concrete gets a topical film-forming sealer, the kind that sits on the surface, because it deepens the color. Most penetrating water repellent sealers protect against water and stains but leave the color as it is, so it comes down to a richer look or plain protection. If you picked colors you love, the film-forming kind shows them off, and we'll help you choose.
How do I know when stamped concrete needs resealing?
Reseal when water and spills stop beading up and the color starts looking flat, not on a set number of years. Resealing is the most common upkeep stamped concrete needs, so watch the surface rather than the calendar.
Is sealed stamped concrete slippery when wet?
It can be, and one maker's data sheet for its stamped concrete sealer says so, especially on smoother surfaces. That same maker says slip resistant granules can be mixed into the wet sealer, which is worth asking about near steps, doors and anywhere a hose runs.
How long does new stamped concrete take to cure?
The usual standard counts concrete as fully cured at 28 days, though the real time depends on where you are and the time of year. Curing is the slow hardening after the pour, and we'll tell you when your patio is ready for furniture and sealer.
What causes stamped concrete to crack in Dodge City?
Most cracks come from ground moving under the slab or from joints cut late or skipped. Ford County has a bigger share of expansive clay, soil that swells when wet and shrinks when dry, than the Kansas average, though that's a county figure and not a reading of your lot. So we pack the base evenly, slope it for drainage and wait out wet spots and cold ground before we pour, and while concrete still cracks some, the joints give it a place to do that.
