Another way is to create a live edge wood look by using a stamp that mimics the natural curves and lines found in live edge wood.

So, how do you go about making stamped concrete look like wood? First, you will need to prepare the area where the patio will be located. This may include excavating the area, adding gravel for drainage, and framing the area with wooden boards.

Next, the concrete will need to be poured and stamped with the desired wood texture. This is where the fun part comes in! You can choose from a variety of stamps that mimic different types of wood, such as oak, cedar, or pine.

Once the concrete has been stamped, it will need to cure for a few days. After the curing process is complete, it’s time to stain the concrete to achieve the desired shade of wood.
