Beautiful Decorative & Stained Concrete in The Metro East
Add a Touch of Style to Your Outdoor Space
Enhance your Curb appeal with our decorative concrete stamping and texturing
Armstrong Flatwork based in Belleville, IL, offers quality decorative and stained concrete services, enhancing both indoor and outdoor spaces. Decorative concrete transforms plain surfaces into stunning designs using stamping, scoring, and texturing techniques. It can imitate natural stone, brick, or wood, adding a touch of elegance and uniqueness to patios, garages, driveways, and walkways. Stained concrete, on the other hand, uses dyes or acid-based stains to infuse color into the surface. This technique creates rich, vibrant hues and marbled effects that enhance floors, countertops, and more.
Both options provide durable, low-maintenance surfaces that resist wear and tear, making them practical choices for high-traffic areas. Decorative and stained concrete offer homeowners the flexibility to customize their space with a variety of patterns and colors, elevating the overall aesthetics and value of their property.

Our Professional Decorative Concrete Installation Process
At Armstrong Flatwork, our professional decorative concrete installation process for outdoor decks and patios follows a meticulous, step-by-step approach:
Consultation:
We begin by understanding your vision and preferences for the project, including desired patterns, colors, and finishes.
Site Preparation:
Our team prepares the area, removing any existing materials and ensuring the ground is level and compacted for a stable foundation.
Forms & Reinforcement:
We set up forms (or shapes) and may add reinforcement, such as rebar or mesh as a foundation, for structural integrity.
Mixing & Pouring:
The concrete is mixed to the right consistency and poured evenly into the prepared forms (shapes).
Stamping & Finishing:
While the concrete is still wet, we apply your chosen patterns using stamping tools. Then, we smooth and finish the surface.
Curing & Sealing:
The concrete is left to cure, and once the site is dry, a sealant is applied for protection and longevity.
Armstrong Flatwork ensures a beautiful, durable result that transforms your outdoor space.
