Custom Stone Overlay

The look of natural stone.
A finish made for barefoot living.

Give your patio, pool deck, or walkway a custom stone finish without tearing out your existing concrete. Our limestone and quartz overlay is applied by hand, carved by hand, and custom colored to create a surface unique to your home.

The limestone provides the natural stone look and feel, while the quartz contributes strength and durability. The finished surface is designed for comfort, with a smoother feel underfoot, less heat buildup, and a slip-resistant sealer that helps improve traction when wet. Surface temperatures will vary with color and sun exposure.

A major transformation with less disruption

Most installations take three to five days, depending on project size, weather, and the condition of the existing concrete. On suitable surfaces, the overlay goes directly over the concrete, eliminating the need for full demolition and replacement.

Why homeowners love it

  • A smoother, more comfortable feel under bare feet.
  • A cooler-feeling surface for outdoor living.
  • A slip-resistant finish that helps with traction around wet areas.
  • Custom colors and hand-carved stone patterns.
  • Installation over suitable existing concrete without a full tear-out.
  • A finished look approved through custom samples before work begins.

This is a handcrafted limestone and quartz finish with its own look, feel, and installation process. Its combination of comfort, durability, and custom detail makes it one of HPC’s most popular options for transforming outdoor spaces.

From your sample to the finished surface

A finish made for your home.

Review the space

We review your space and the condition of the existing surface to confirm suitability and the preparation needed. Existing decking, patios and walkways may have plain concrete, stamped concrete, a pea-gravel concrete finish or a cool-deck coating. We walk you through the preparation and application steps for your surface during the consultation.

Approve your sample

Every project starts with a custom sample board so you can see and approve the color before installation begins. We work through the samples with you until the finish is approved.

Prepare the surface

Whether the project involves new concrete or a suitable existing surface, we prepare the surface and install a bonding coat before applying the overlay. The bonding coat helps reduce the risk of delamination, where an overlay separates from the surface underneath.

Apply, carve and color

We hand-trowel the material over the bonding coat, carve the stone pattern and custom color the stones. We then grout between the stones and apply a color-coordinated, self-leveling joint sealant at expansion and movement joints.

Seal and protect

We finish with a slip-resistant sealer that helps improve traction, protects the finish and makes routine cleaning easier.

Planning your investment

What shapes your project’s price?

Custom stone overlay projects start at $3,500 when applied over suitable existing concrete. Your investment depends on the size of the area, the condition of the concrete, preparation needed and your chosen pattern and colors.

Pool decks and larger areas are quoted individually. During your consultation, we’ll review the surface, explore finish options and prepare a quote for your project.

Understanding custom stone overlay

Is this the same as stamped concrete?

No. HPC’s custom stone overlay is a limestone and quartz finish applied over suitable existing concrete. The material is hand-troweled, the individual stone shapes are carved by hand, and the finish is custom colored. The pattern is created by hand rather than pressed into the surface with a stamp.

Is this just a conventional concrete overlay?

No. Although HPC’s finish goes over suitable existing concrete, “overlay” describes where it is installed, not the full product. HPC uses a handcrafted limestone and quartz finish with individually carved stone shapes and custom colors. The materials, hand-carved pattern and sample-approved finish distinguish it from a conventional concrete resurfacing treatment.

What is HPC’s custom stone overlay?

A handcrafted limestone and quartz finish applied over suitable existing concrete. We hand-trowel, carve and custom color the finish, then seal the completed surface.

Can I approve the color first?

Yes. Every project starts with a custom sample board. We work through the samples with you until the finish is approved before installation.

How long does installation take?

Most installations take three to five days, depending on size, weather and the condition of the existing concrete.

Is it suitable around a pool?

The finish is designed for barefoot comfort, with a slip-resistant sealer to help traction when wet. Surface temperatures vary with color and sun exposure. We review the existing concrete and site conditions before recommending an overlay.
