# Hill Country Concrete Studio > Decorative concrete that turns ordinary patios, driveways, and pool decks into something you actually want to photograph. Stamped patterns, acid stains, micro-toppings, and exposed aggregate. ## Services - **Stamped Concrete** — Slate, ashlar, cobblestone, brick, wood-plank, and custom pattern stamps. Color-hardened with antiquing release for depth that solid colors can’t match. - **Acid-Stained Concrete** — Reactive acid stains for interior and exterior floors. Mottled, organic color that reacts uniquely with your concrete — no two installs look alike. - **Exposed Aggregate** — Decorative stone aggregate exposed for natural texture and traction. Common on driveways, walkways, and pool decks where slip resistance matters. - **Micro-Toppings & Overlays** — Polymer-modified overlays applied over existing concrete to refresh tired surfaces. 3–8mm thick, no demo, finished in custom colors and patterns. - **Cool-Deck Pool Surfaces** — Cool-deck and Kool-Deck pool surface installations that stay 15–30°F cooler than standard concrete in direct sun. Barefoot friendly all summer. - **Sealing & Maintenance** — Annual re-seal services, color refresh, and crack repair on existing decorative concrete. Keep what you bought looking like it did the day we finished. ## Frequently asked questions ### How much does stamped concrete cost vs. pavers or natural stone? Stamped concrete typically runs $12–$22/sqft installed. Pavers run $18–$30/sqft. Natural stone $25–$50/sqft. Stamped concrete gives you the look of stone at a fraction of the cost, and one-piece concrete avoids the weed/settling issues pavers can have. ### Will the color fade over time? Modern color-hardener and integral color products keep their color for 15–20 years with proper sealing. Lighter colors fade faster than darker ones. We re-seal every 2–4 years to extend life — and our 15-year warranty backs that. ### Can you stamp over my existing concrete? Yes — micro-topping or overlay over existing concrete. The existing slab needs to be structurally sound (no major cracking or settling). We do a free assessment to determine if overlay or full removal-and-repour is the right call. ### How long until I can walk/drive on it? Walk on it: 24 hours. Furniture: 3–5 days. Vehicle traffic: 7 days minimum. Full cure (final hardness): 28 days. We schedule your install around your usage so disruption is minimal. ## Contact - Phone: +15125550147 - Email: studio@hillcountryconcrete.example - Address: 4914 N Lamar Blvd, Austin, TX, 78751 - Service area: Austin, Round Rock & Hill Country - Website: https://www.fastdigitalmarketing.com/examples/decorative-concrete _This page is structured for AI answer engines.
