Pick Your Pattern
During your free consultation, we bring physical samples to your home so you can see them against your house, landscaping, and outdoor furniture — in actual sunlight, not a showroom.
Ashlar Slate
The most popular pattern in Kansas City. Rectangular stones in an offset pattern — looks like hand-cut natural slate. Works with every home style from ranch to modern.
Best for: Patios, driveways, pool decks
Colors: Grey, charcoal, warm brown, sandstone
Random Stone
Large irregular stones with natural-looking cracks and veining. Each stone is different — organic and earthy. The closest thing to real flagstone without the price tag.
Best for: Patios, walkways, covered porches
Colors: Cool grey, slate, earth blend
Cobblestone
Small rounded stones in tight rows — classic European village look. The deep joints between each cobble catch shadow and create dramatic texture, especially in late afternoon light.
Best for: Driveways, walkways, borders
Colors: Warm brown, terra cotta, charcoal
Wood Plank
Real wood grain, knots, and weathered cracks — stamped into concrete that will never rot, warp, or attract termites. Guests walk on it and do a double-take.
Best for: Patios, pool decks, covered areas
Colors: Cedar brown, driftwood grey, dark walnut
European Fan
Elegant radiating fan shapes that interlock across the surface. Old World charm that transforms a plain driveway into a statement. One of the most distinctive patterns available.
Best for: Driveways, grand entries, patios
Colors: Sandstone, warm brown, slate grey
Flagstone
Large organic shapes with natural edges — each stone unique. The wide joints between stones are where the release color pools, creating depth and realism that looks hand-laid.
Best for: Patios, walkways, pool decks
Colors: Cool grey, charcoal, desert sand

Decorative Concrete Done Right vs. Done Cheap
Stamped concrete is technical. The timing, the color application, the stamp pressure — if any step is off, the surface looks fake, cracks early, or peels. Here's what separates quality work from a regret.
Ford Concrete Standard
The Cheap Way
Color Application
Integral color mixed throughout + surface-applied color hardener for depth and durability
Surface paint or thin color wash that fades and peels within 2 seasons
Stamp Timing
11 years of KC experience reading concrete — we stamp at exactly the right window for crisp, deep impressions
Stamp too early (muddy, shallow) or too late (faint pattern, surface cracking)
Base Preparation
Compacted aggregate base, proper drainage grading, 4" minimum pour depth on reinforced grid
Pour directly on dirt, skip the base, 3" thin pour to save on material
Sealer
UV-resistant, high-solids acrylic sealer that protects color and enhances pattern for 3-5 years
Cheap water-based sealer that turns white, peels, and needs recoating every 6 months
Detail Work
Hand-tooled borders, clean joint lines, texture touch-ups on every stamp edge
Rushed finishing — visible seams where stamps overlapped, uneven depth across the surface
Crew
Same crew handles prep, pour, stamp, color, and seal — no handoffs, no subcontractors
Day laborers who have never stamped before running the stamps while the "contractor" is at another job
We've poured decorative concrete for Taco Bell, Domino's, and Amazon. Your patio gets the same standards.

After curing, we apply UV-resistant sealer that protects the color and enhances the pattern. We clean the site and walk you through maintenance.
What Kansas City Homeowners Say
Ford Concrete did an amazing job on our driveway. Professional from start to finish. The crew showed up on time, kept the site clean, and the finished product looks incredible. Highly recommend.
We had our back patio and walkway poured by Ford Concrete. Communication was excellent the entire time. The concrete looks great and was finished on schedule. Would absolutely use them again.
Got three quotes for a driveway replacement. Ford Concrete was the most responsive, gave a detailed written estimate, and delivered exactly what they promised. No surprises, no upsells. Solid work.
