Stamps aren't the only way to put realistic brick, stone or tile patterns in your concrete patios, driveways, sidewalks, floors and other flatwork. You can achieve very similar effects with stenciling—and often with less time and effort.

Both processes are completed while the concrete is still in its plastic state, but instead of rubber stamps, stenciling uses disposable paper stencils to impart the pattern. Because the stencils mask off the underlying surface, they leave behind realistic "mortar joints" the color of the gray concrete base. By applying a dry-shake color hardener to the exposed concrete before stencil removal, you'll get the appearance of individual stones or bricks that have been mortared together.
