About stencilled concrete
Stencilling lays adhesive pattern stencils onto fresh concrete, then applies colour around them. When the stencils are lifted, the pattern is left as a flat, clean design.
It suits flatter, smoother surfaces than stamping and is a good fit for entries, paths and pool surrounds where a lower-texture finish is preferable.
Best for: entries, paths and pool surrounds where you want a pattern but a smoother, easier-to-clean surface.

Timing, care and good-to-knows
Typical timeline
Usually one to two days on site, with the surface ready for foot traffic in a day or two.
Care & maintenance
Sweep and hose regularly and reseal every few years. Sealer choice depends on whether the area is shaded or in full sun.
Good to know
Stencilled patterns are flat, so they suit people who want the look without a heavily textured surface.
Common questions
How is stencilled different from stamped?
Stamping presses texture into the surface. Stencilling applies a flat pattern with colour, so the surface stays smoother.
Is it slippery?
A smoother surface can be slippery when wet, so we can add a slip-resistant additive to the sealer.
Can I mix patterns?
Yes — many clients use a stencilled field with a contrasting border.
