    Finishes

    Which Finish Is Right for You?

    From stamped concrete to natural flagstone: what each finish costs, how it holds up, and where it works best.

    Stamped Concrete

    Patterns that mimic stone, brick, or wood — starting around $8–$12/sq ft.

    Exposed Aggregate

    Pebbled texture with natural slip resistance — $8–16/sq ft installed.

    Broom Finish

    The most common finish — clean, durable, and budget-friendly at $6–12/sq ft.

    Colored Concrete

    Integral pigment throughout the slab — lasting color without surface fading.

    Concrete Pavers

    Individual units that can be replaced if cracked — $8–$22/sq ft installed.

    Flagstone

    Natural irregular slabs with an earthy, high-end look — $15–$30/sq ft.
