Homeowners across El Paso love stamped concrete because it delivers the upscale look of natural stone, brick, or tile without the price tag or maintenance headaches. At CountBricks, we combine AI-powered estimating with veteran concrete crews to give you a faster, clearer path to stunning outdoor spaces.
Stamped concrete starts as standard ready-mix, but before it cures we press textured mats and integral color into the surface. The result is a durable slab that mimics slate, flagstone, wood planks and more. Because the pattern and pigment are embedded, you get beauty that stands up to El Paso’s blazing summers and chilly desert nights.
• Minimal Freeze-Thaw Cycles – Less cracking risk than colder regions
• Abundant Sunshine – UV-resistant color hardeners stay vibrant for years
• Dusty Climate – Sealed, non-porous surface is easy to hose clean
1. Front Entry Walkways – Boost curb appeal with an ashlar slate pattern dyed to match your façade.
2. Back-Yard Patios – Create a seamless extension of indoor living space with wood-plank textures.
3. Pool Decks – Slip-resistant textures keep bare feet safe while resisting chlorine attack.
4. Driveways – Get the look of cobblestone without the uneven surface that rattles tires.
Cost Advantage
• Stamped concrete averages 20-40 % less than premium pavers in El Paso.
Speed of Installation
• A 600 sq ft patio is often complete in two to three days, compared to a week for individual pavers.
Maintenance
• Re-seal every three years and you’re set—no weeds in joints, no shifting stones.

• Automated material counts—no mid-project shortages

Residential stamped concrete pricing varies by square footage, complexity, and accessibility. CountBricks AI draws on hundreds of recent projects to keep numbers local and current.
Typical Ranges
• Single-color, basic texture: $10-$13 per sq ft
• Two-tone with border: $14-$17 per sq ft
• Hand-stained or custom score lines: $18-$22 per sq ft
Because our software updates material prices daily, we alert you if cement, pigment, or rebar spikes before the pour—no surprise invoices.
• Pick a color two shades lighter than your house stucco; dark surfaces absorb more desert heat.
• Add a contrasting header course around patios to frame furniture groupings.
• Choose larger patterns for big areas; tight cobbles look busy on a driveway.
Stamped concrete is reinforced with fiber mesh and #3 rebar on wider spans. When paired with a breathable acrylic sealer, surfaces resist oil stains and resist freeze-thaw cracking. Maintenance is simple:
• Rinse monthly with a garden hose
• Sweep sand or debris to prevent surface abrasion
• Reseal every 2-3 years to maintain color richness
Every residential stamped concrete project is backed by a two-year workmanship warranty. Clients track their warranty details inside the CountBricks app, receive reminders when resealing is due, and can schedule maintenance with one tap.
Stamped concrete elevates value, reduces upkeep, and adds personality to any El Paso home. Let CountBricks show you design mock-ups, accurate budgets, and a timeline you can trust. Start now at CountBricks.com/services or book a free on-site demo through CountBricks.com/consultation.
When the Ramirez family called CountBricks, their backyard was a patchwork of cracked broom-finish concrete and loose gravel. They wanted a spacious entertainment zone that could handle summer cookouts without constant upkeep.
• 750 sq ft patio with integrated fire-pit ring
• Random stone pattern in sandstone integral color with charcoal release
• Decorative 12-inch border echoing the home’s cantera stone trim
CountBricks estimators used the family’s existing pool layout, uploaded into our blueprint takeoff module. In seconds, the software calculated cubic yards of concrete, linear feet of rebar, and pounds of color hardener. The Ramirezes received a fixed-price proposal during the first call—a process that traditionally takes days.
1. Excavation & Compaction – A laser level ensured a uniform 1 % slope directing runoff away from the pool.
2. Reinforcement – #3 rebar on 18-inch centers tied into the existing pool bond beam, eliminating future settlement at the interface.
3. Color & Stamp – A two-person crew managed texture mats, keeping grout lines continuous across pour breaks.
4. Sealing – High-solids acrylic sealer with anti-skid additive matched HOA glare requirements.
The entire transformation—from demolition to final seal—finished in four working days. Post-project drone photos uploaded to the CountBricks.com/portfolio page show a cohesive outdoor room valued by the homeowner’s appraisal at $18,000 more than neighboring properties.
• Early digital takeoffs flag material savings—this job needed 0.5 cu yd less mix after precise grade checks.
• Integrated borders break up large slabs visually and allow easy color combinations.
• Scheduling pours before 10 a.m. in summer cuts surface evaporation, boosting finish quality.
