Columbus Stamp Concrete pours stamped concrete patios, walkways and driveways across Upper Arlington, an established, upscale community just northwest of downtown Columbus. You get a local crew, honest itemized pricing, and concrete prepped, jointed and sealed to hold up through central Ohio's freeze-thaw, not just look good on day one.
Why homeowners choose stamped concrete
Stamped concrete gives you the look of natural stone, brick, slate or wood pavers in a single, solid pour, at a fraction of the cost and with none of the weeds and shifting that come with pavers. You get the pattern and color cast right into the surface, so it holds up for decades.
Patterns & colors
- Patterns: ashlar slate, random stone, herringbone and running-bond brick, wood plank, cobblestone.
- Color: integral color in the mix plus a contrasting release for depth, or acid stain for a richer, mottled finish.
- Borders & bands: a contrasting border or soldier course frames patios and driveways and hides the edge form line.
Built for Ohio's freeze-thaw
Central Ohio winters are hard on flatwork. We pour an air-entrained mix on a properly compacted base, cut clean control joints to direct where the slab moves, and finish with a quality sealer. Reseal every two to three years and stamped concrete stays sharp against road salt and freeze-thaw for the long haul.
Stamped concrete for Upper Arlington homes
Upper Arlington is a mature, tree-lined suburb built on the Garden City model, from the historic homes of Old Arlington south of Lane Avenue to the mid-century ranches and established streets to the north. We pour stamped concrete throughout Upper Arlington, matching patterns and colors to its classic architecture and generous, landscaped lots, and we are careful with the original walks and driveways common on older UA homes.
Permits and zoning in Upper Arlington
Upper Arlington requires a Certificate of Zoning Compliance for patios and driveway expansions, even when a building permit is not needed, submitted with a detailed site plan to the Community Development Department before work begins. We prepare the site plan, handle that application, and build to the city's residential flatwork standards.

Common questions
How much does stamped concrete cost in Columbus?
Stamped concrete runs more than a plain broom-finish slab but well under pavers or natural stone, because the pattern and color go in during the pour. Final price depends on square footage, the number of patterns and colors, site prep and access. We give a clear, itemized estimate for free.
Does stamped concrete crack?
All concrete has control joints that direct where it cracks. Poured on a solid base with the right joint spacing, mix and sealer, stamped concrete holds up beautifully through Ohio winters.
How do I maintain a stamped concrete patio?
Rinse it as needed, reseal every two to three years, and avoid de-icing salts in the first winter. That is essentially the whole maintenance routine.
Do I need a permit for a concrete patio in Upper Arlington?
Yes. Upper Arlington requires a Certificate of Zoning Compliance for a patio, even when no building permit is needed, submitted with a site plan to the Community Development Department. We prepare and submit that for you.
