Stamped concrete lets you capture the high‑end look of natural stone, brick or wood without the high price tag. Through the creative use of textures, patterns and colours, your pool deck can become a showpiece that complements your home and landscaping. Pools of Fun specializes in designing and installing stamped concrete decks that combine beauty, durability and value for Indiana homeowners.
Stamped concrete is a decorative surface created by pressing patterned mats or stamps into freshly poured concrete. These stamps imprint textures and shapes that resemble stone, slate, brick, tile or even wood. With the addition of colour—either integrated into the mix or applied to the surface—stamped concrete delivers the luxurious look of natural materials at a fraction of the cost. It also offers structural strength and longevity similar to regular poured concrete.
Beauty, Performance & Affordability
For homeowners seeking a custom, high‑impact look without breaking the budget, stamped concrete is a popular choice.
We’ll show you samples and photos to inspire your design and help you select the perfect combination.
Transforming Plain Concrete into Art
01
We remove existing surfaces and prepare a stable, compacted base. Forms are built to shape your deck and guide the pour.
02
Fresh concrete is poured and spread evenly. We incorporate integral colour if desired.
03
When the concrete reaches the right consistency, we apply release agents and press stamps into the surface, creating patterns and textures.
04
We apply accent colours or hardeners and carve custom borders or inlays if specified.
05
The concrete cures over several days. Proper curing is essential to achieve strength and durability.
06
Once cured, we clean the deck and apply a protective sealer to enhance colour, resist staining and improve slip resistance.
07
We review the finished deck with you to ensure the pattern, colour and finish meet your expectations.
Stamped concrete requires skilled craftsmen and the right timing to achieve crisp, consistent impressions and colours.
Sweep and rinse regularly to remove dirt and debris. Avoid using harsh chemicals or high-pressure washers that could damage the sealer.
Reapply sealer every 2–3 years (depending on use and sun exposure) to maintain colour vibrancy and surface protection.
Clean up spills promptly to prevent staining. For stubborn stains, gentle cleaners can be used; we’ll provide guidance on products.
Although cracks can occur in any concrete, proper control joints and reinforcement minimize the risk. Hairline cracks can be sealed or patched if needed.
In snowy regions, avoid rock salt or de-icing chemicals that can degrade the surface. Use sand or non-corrosive products instead.
With proper care, your stamped concrete deck will continue looking beautiful for many years.

Yes, in many cases decorative overlays can be applied to existing concrete surfaces, creating the appearance of stamped concrete without removal.
UV exposure and weathering can cause some fading over time. Periodic sealing with a UV-resistant sealer protects the colour and surface.
