How to Form, Pour and Finish a STAMPED CONCRETE Patio

[@T12i99iN]

I LOVED the edging details. To me that's a rare finishing detail that isn't done often. If not often, not at all. Great content.

[@TimDCVA]

Thank you! 🙏🏻 😊 Really appreciate the encouragement. 👍🏻

[@n8n876]

Except that is not how it is done. Strip the form, and stamp it with the correct stamp. They make end stamps. Think about how an end of a log looks. The grain is round. That is where the right stamp makes the whole job.

[@SciHeartJourney]

I totally agree. This adds a lot to the value of home; especially the "curbside appeal" aspect.

Out of all the videos i have watched on stamp concrete i feel this is the easiest to follow along to learn

[@TimDCVA]

Thank you!

[@bwnco]

Nice.. didnt think id ever say I missed pouring mud but this made me miss it.. Never got to do any fancy stamp stuff... pretty cool...

[@TimDCVA]

Haha. Thanks! I appreciate the encouragement.

[@devinrudloff]

Wow!! Seriously one of the best how-to stamp videos I’ve ever watched on KZbin. And I’ve seen nearly all of them. Great work and great detailed descriptions of every step! Going to try adding this service to my landscape business in the future after I hire the right experienced guys!

[@TimDCVA]

Awesome. Thanks! When we first started we found a local concrete finisher that would help us pour the concrete…and then we’d take over from there. It really made learning the process a lot easier. Best of luck with the new venture. Let me know how it goes. 👍🏻

[@jasonn2284]

Do it yourself.

[@MapuiaChhakchhuak]

The stone finish looks absolutely gorgeous!

[@TimDCVA]

KZbin emailed me a comment where you asked about music… but I can’t find it on here. I subscribe to epidemic sound so that I can use any music on their site in my videos. Here’s a link: www.epidemicsound.com/referral/tapjuz/

After washing off the release off with pressure washer. Do you have to reach with acid? I feel like there is still some release left over

[@TimDCVA]

We don’t use a pressure washer unless it’s a really big job. We always use acid to get release off after we’ve rinsed it once.

I see. It's a 20x 72 . But not sure if I should hit again with pressure washer or acid

Spectacular finishes on both the stone and wood stampings. Really nice work! I noticed you didn't use expansion joints between your new and old concrete, nor wire mesh in the slabs. Are those not necessary for a job that size?

[@TimDCVA]

Thanks! We used rebar...not sure there’s any benefit to using mesh & rebar. Technically we probably should have used expansion joint material on the wood plank pad...but I think it’s ugly in the finished product.
