In a city that celebrates unique architecture and outdoor living, Portland homeowners are turning to stamped concrete for driveways, patios, and walkways that stand out. CountBricks brings unmatched precision to every project by pairing local craft crews with AI-powered estimating and blueprint takeoffs. The result is a surface as durable as it is beautiful—delivered on time, on budget, and in style.
Stamped concrete is freshly poured concrete imprinted with patterns that mimic stone, brick, or even wood. Pigments and release powders add natural color variations, while high-performance sealers lock everything in. Thanks to Portland’s mild climate and CountBricks’ careful curing schedule, homeowners enjoy vibrant surfaces that resist cracking and moisture intrusion for decades.
• Superior curb appeal with limitless patterns and color palettes
• Lower cost than natural stone or pavers without sacrificing aesthetics
• Minimal maintenance—no weeds between joints and no settling
• Slip-resistant finishes perfect for rainy Northwest days
• Eco-friendly options such as integrally colored mixes that reduce surface coatings
Stamped concrete shines in nearly every corner of a property. CountBricks has installed thousands of square feet across the metro area, most often in these spaces:
• Driveways that mirror slate or cobblestone without the hefty price tag
• Backyard patios designed for all-season entertaining under Portland pergolas
• Walkways and garden paths that complement lush Pacific Northwest landscaping
• Pool decks finished with slip-resistant, UV-stable sealers
• Front porches that welcome guests with wood-plank textures but zero rot
Homeowners often ask how much stamped concrete costs per square foot. The honest answer: it depends on several project-specific details. CountBricks AI calculations weigh each factor in seconds.
• Pattern complexity: A single ashlar pattern costs less than a multi-border compass rose.
• Color system: Integral color plus antiquing releases add depth but increase material costs.
• Site access: Tight urban lots may require pumping equipment, raising labor time.
• Thickness & reinforcement: Steep driveways get thicker pours and heavier rebar grids.
• Finish options: High-gloss sealers and traction additives each affect the final line-item.

When the Ramirez family purchased their mid-century home near Forest Park, the backyard was dominated by cracked broom-finish concrete. They wanted an outdoor space worthy of Portland’s summer evenings but feared the price of natural stone. CountBricks proposed a large-format flagstone stamp in desert tan with charcoal antiquing—bringing warmth without blowing the budget.
• Area: 650 sq ft patio plus 80 sq ft walkway
• Concrete volume: 10.8 yd³ at 4,000 psi mix
• Pattern: Stone texture skin with random flagstone joints
• Timeline: 4 working days from demolition to final seal
1. Voice Capture: During the initial site visit, the CountBricks specialist dictated slope, drainage, and steps directly into the mobile app. The homeowner received a complete cost breakdown before the meeting ended.
2. Dynamic Scheduling: Rain was forecast on pour day, so the platform automatically shifted the pump truck and finishing crew to an earlier window, avoiding weather-related set issues.
3. Live Material Adjustments: When the Ramirezes opted for an upgraded sealer, CountBricks recalculated totals instantly, displaying the exact price difference in the client portal.
• Final invoice landed 1.3% under the original estimate thanks to precise yardage calculations.
