Decorative Concrete
Stamped, coloured, and exposed aggregate finishes that elevate any property.
Concrete That Looks as Good as It Performs
Decorative concrete gives you the durability of standard concrete with the visual appeal of natural stone, brick, or tile — at a fraction of the cost. COA provides stamped, coloured, and exposed aggregate finishes for driveways, patios, walkways, pool decks, and commercial entryways.
We work with you to choose the right pattern, colour, and finish that complements your home or building. The result is a surface that looks intentional, performs well, and lasts for years with minimal maintenance.
Decorative Options
- Stamped concrete (stone, brick, slate patterns)
- Coloured and integrally tinted concrete
- Exposed aggregate finishes
- Textured and broom-finish variations
- Borders and accent bands
- Sealing and protective coatings
Where It Works Best
Decorative concrete works especially well on patios, front walkways, pool surrounds, and driveways where you want the surface to contribute to the overall look of the property. It's also popular for commercial storefronts and entryways.

Design Consultation
We discuss your vision, show you pattern and colour samples, and help you choose a decorative finish that complements your property and fits your budget.
Surface Preparation
We prepare a solid, properly graded base and set forms with attention to the slopes, edges, and transitions that decorative work demands.
Pour & Stamp
Concrete is poured and our crew works quickly to apply colour, stamp patterns, and detail edges while the surface is at the right consistency. Timing is everything.
Seal & Protect
Once cured, we apply a high-quality sealer that enhances the colour, adds a subtle sheen, and protects the surface from moisture, UV, and salt damage.
What Affects the Cost
Decorative concrete typically costs more than a standard broom finish, but the exact price depends on the complexity of the work. Stamped patterns with multiple colours and border details require more labour and materials than a simple single-colour stamp or exposed aggregate finish.
The size of the area, the number of colours involved, and the pattern complexity all factor in. Accent borders, step-downs, and curved edges add time and detail work. We also recommend sealing as part of every decorative project, which adds a modest cost but is essential for protecting the finish — especially through Ottawa Valley winters.
We are happy to walk you through the options and show you samples so you can find the right balance of look and budget. Every decorative concrete quote from COA is free and includes a full breakdown of what is included.

Very durable when done right. We use quality concrete mixes, proper sealing, and recommend resealing every 2–3 years to protect the surface from freeze-thaw cycles and road salt.
