Project Overview

A striking multi-level stamped concrete patio in Bellevue navigates a challenging slope with expertly crafted textured retaining walls and integrated steps. The design establishes distinct outdoor living zones through careful elevation changes and a sophisticated two-tone color palette. A warm, light tan field with an ashlar slate pattern defines the main patio and a circular fire pit area. This is contrasted by a deep brown, seamless stone texture applied to the vertical faces of the retaining walls, step risers, and decorative borders. This color choice gives the structural elements a grounded, substantial feel. The wide, curved staircase provides a graceful transition between levels, while precise saw-cut control joints are thoughtfully integrated into the pattern to ensure longevity and structural integrity. The result is a cohesive and highly functional hardscape that feels both engineered and natural.

Things to Know

01

What are the advantages of using stamped concrete for patios in sloped backyards?

Stamped concrete is ideal for sloped yards because it can be formed into integrated retaining walls, steps, and tiered patios. This creates a unified, structurally sound hardscape from a single material, ensuring visual consistency and eliminating gaps between different elements where erosion can occur.

02

How is traction addressed on stamped concrete steps for multi-level patios?

The texture imparted by the stamping process naturally enhances grip. For added safety, especially on surfaces prone to getting wet, a polymer grit additive can be mixed into the final sealer coat. This creates a non-slip surface without altering the color or appearance of the concrete.
