Happy Clients
“We had three independent quotes for our backyard upgrade all within the same price range. We chose Mike over the others because he followed up on all our questions; he was not pushy; he seemed to understand what we were trying to do.
Mike was with them all the time rather than as a remote manager. He kept us up to date on the schedule especially as it applied to concrete pouring. As the crew had to come through an established part of our front yard landscaping he repaired any damage that was caused. We were so impressed by him and his team we added some extra upgrades as well.
Our project included removing existing stone walkways and a wall, part of a concrete deck and several existing trees and shrubs; extending the deck, installing new steps to an existing fire pit, building a new pergola, a new concrete path and stone/rock pathway; installing new trees and shrubbery with all the irrigation. We have had several contractors over the years but working with Mike was a pleasure. He and his crew are were always pleasant when dealing with changes or clarifications to the design when needed. We would highly recommend Mike’s Landscaping for any of your landscaping needs.”

Frequently Asked Questions
Does stamped concrete crack more easily than standard concrete?
No, when installed by a professional, it is just as durable as traditional slabs. We use high-strength mixes and strategically placed control joints to manage expansion and contraction, ensuring your decorative surface remains structural and beautiful for years.
Can Mike’s Landscaping match the concrete to my existing home exterior?
Yes, we offer a vast palette of colors and textures designed to complement any architectural style. During your consultation, we help you select a combination of base colors and antiquing releases that perfectly blend with your home’s siding, stone, or brickwork.
Will the color of my stamped concrete fade over time?
No, we use integral colors and UV-resistant sealers that lock in the pigment and protect it from the California sun. Regular resealing every 2–3 years will maintain the “just-poured” vibrancy of your installation indefinitely.
How does the cost of stamped concrete compare to pavers?
It is generally more cost-effective because it requires less intensive labor and material costs while offering the same high-end appearance. You get the premium look of natural slate or cobblestone at a price point that fits a wider range of renovation budgets.
