Stamped Concrete in Medina, OH: Patios, Walkways and Steps
Slate, Flagstone and Brick Patterns Poured, Colored and Sealed for Homes Around Medina, Akron and Cleveland
Stamped Concrete Contractor for Medina and Northeast Ohio
If you want a stamped concrete patio in Medina that looks like stone without the cost of stone, call Kingdom Concrete at (216) 551-8835. We pour stamped concrete patios, walkways, steps and hot tub pads for homeowners in Medina, Akron, Cleveland, Parma, Brunswick, Strongsville and nearby towns. Stamped concrete starts as a regular poured slab. Color goes into the mix or onto the surface, and a pattern is pressed in while the concrete is still soft, so the finished surface looks like slate, flagstone or brick.
Most of our stamped work is backyard patios, often curved and with steps up to a door or deck, along with entry walks and patios built around a hot tub. Because Kingdom Concrete also pours driveways, slabs and steps and handles sealing, one crew can take the project from digging out the old surface to the final coat of sealer.

Stamped Concrete Work We Can Help With
Stamped Concrete Patios
A stamped patio is the most common job we pour. The shape can follow the back of the house, curve around a garden bed, or step down from a walkout or a deck. Slate and flagstone patterns are popular because they hide small surface marks well, and a border in a second pattern or color frames the patio and makes it look finished. We'll talk through the size, the shape and how you plan to use the space before anything is formed.
Stamped Walkways and Entry Walks
A stamped walkway ties the front door to the driveway, or the patio to the side yard, in the same pattern as the rest of the project. Walks need a slight pitch so rain runs off instead of freezing in place, and the pattern should be pressed deep enough to give your shoes some grip. Entry walks under a covered porch get the same base and reinforcement as a patio.
Stamped Steps and Hot Tub Pads
Steps can be stamped to match the patio or walkway they lead to, so the whole area reads as one surface. A hot tub pad needs more than a pattern, because a filled tub is heavy and sits in one spot all year. One of our customers wrote that we installed a stamped patio for their hot tub, quickly and at a good price, and that it exceeded their expectations.
Colors, Patterns and Borders
Color can be mixed through the whole slab, broadcast onto the surface as a hardener, or both, and a release agent adds the darker tones in the grout lines that make the stone look real. Common patterns include slate, flagstone, ashlar stone and brick, and a border can run in a contrasting pattern. Bring photos of anything you like, and we'll tell you how close we can get.

How a Stamped Concrete Patio Is Poured
Most of what makes a stamped patio last happens before and after the stamping itself.
- Step 1
Dig Out and Build the Base
The area is dug out, graded so water drains away from the house, and filled with compacted gravel. A firm, draining base is what keeps a stamped slab from heaving through Ohio's freeze-thaw winters.
- Step 2
Pour, Color and Stamp
Reinforcement goes in, then the concrete is poured and leveled. Color and release are applied, and the stamping mats are pressed in while the concrete is still soft enough to take the pattern.
- Step 3
Cut Joints and Seal
Control joints are cut so any cracking follows a planned line in the pattern. Once the concrete has cured, a sealer goes on to protect the color and keep water and salt out.
What Customers Say About Their Stamped Patios
- David H.Google review
Marshall and team did an amazing job installing a stamped patio for a hot tub. The patio exceeded our expectations. They did the job quickly and at a good price. I would highly recommend Kingdom Concrete.
- Stephen B.Google review
We used Kingdom Concrete for our patio in our backyard, and it came out amazing. Great quality, quick service and fantastic pricing. We got a few quotes from a couple different concrete companies and Kingdoms quality and pricing blew them out of the park. Marshal was very pleasant to work with, would absolutely use them again!
- Nick A.Google review
Marshall and his team did an amazing job with our patio. I not only appreciate the work and effort they put into our yard but Marshall being available before/during/after installation, answering all of my questions. I’d recommend using kingdom concrete, I’d be happy to go back for any future projects.
Why Hire Kingdom Concrete for Stamped Concrete
Suggestions That Make the Space Work Better
A patio has to fit the way you live, so we ask how you'll use it before we talk about patterns. Customers have written that the crew offered suggestions on the layout that made the finished space work better, and that we took the time to understand exactly what they wanted. That conversation happens before anything is formed, while changes are still easy to make.
The Person Who Prices the Job Does the Work
Marshall started Kingdom Concrete to provide for his family, and he is out in the field on most jobs, forming, pouring and finishing with the crew. Too many contractors sell the job, take the money and send someone else to do it. When you call us about a stamped patio, the person you talk to is the person who shows up.
Clear Answers Before, During and After
Customers say in review after review that Marshall listens, asks a lot of questions and stays available before, during and after the job. You'll know what is being done and when, and if something changes once the old concrete is out, you'll hear about it before the work goes on.

It depends on the size, the pattern, the number of colors and how much ground prep the site needs. Stamped concrete costs more than a plain broom finish and usually less than natural stone. We'll look at the space and give you a clear estimate.
Usually, yes, for the same area. Stamped concrete also has no joints for weeds to grow through and no pavers to settle out of line. Pavers are easier to patch one piece at a time, so it's worth weighing both.
A well-built stamped patio typically lasts for decades. The base, the control joints and regular resealing decide how it ages through freeze-thaw winters. The color fades first when the sealer is skipped.
Any concrete can crack. A compacted base, reinforcement and control joints placed within the pattern keep cracks small and along planned lines, where they are hard to notice.
It can be when wet, especially with a glossy sealer. A slip-resistant additive can be mixed into the sealer for patios and steps, and a deeper pattern gives more grip than a smooth one.
Most stamped patios need a fresh coat of sealer every two to three years. If the color looks dull or water stops beading on the surface, it's time. We also handle concrete sealing.
Yes. A hot tub needs a thicker, reinforced area under it to carry the weight of the filled tub. One customer wrote that we installed a stamped patio for their hot tub and it exceeded their expectations.
Yes. New stamped concrete can extend an existing patio or run next to a plain slab. Matching old colors exactly is hard, so a border or a change in pattern between old and new often looks better.
Foot traffic is usually fine after a day or two, and patio furniture after about a week. Concrete keeps gaining strength for about a month, and we'll tell you the timing for your pour.
Late spring through fall is the main season in Northeast Ohio. Concrete needs temperatures above freezing while it cures, so an early call gives you the best choice of dates.
