What is MATTCRETE?


    In the spring of 1994 I introduced an additional service called "MATTCRETE". This process involves using stamping mats produced by the MATCRETE Company. Using these products enables me to make colored stamped concrete using regular gray concrete.

    This unique coloring system has a rich antique look and is even harder than standard gray concrete. This coloring system is also very cost efficient for those who may be toying with the notion of using landscaping stone for a project. In comparison this process cost 30 to 40% less than landscaping stone as well as eliminating the problem of grass growing between the brick. With all these benefits colored stamped concrete is becoming increasingly popular among the landscaping community.

    The process itself is a two color treatment in which the brick or stone is one color and the joints another I also can add additional highlight colors that increase the authenticity and eliminate the vinyl flooring look.

    There are a variety of colors and patterns to choose from as new patterns are added each year. Below are some examples of what can be done.
