Stamped work lives or dies on timing. Concrete gives you one window to stamp it and that window moves with the weather, so it is a job that needs the right number of people standing there when it is ready rather than when it was scheduled.
Integral colour goes through the mix and holds better than a broadcast, which matters here because the sun at this elevation is hard on anything shallow. Release agents, sealers and the pattern get chosen together rather than one at a time.
Bring a photo of what you want. Almost every pattern is achievable; the honest conversation is about which ones still look right in ten years.
Colour
Integral through the mix, or a colour hardener
Patterns
Ashlar, slate, wood plank, cobble and borders
Sealer
Re-sealed every 2 to 3 years in this climate
Timing
Weather dependent. We do not stamp on a bad day.
