Stained Concrete

Give Your Concrete a Whole New Look

Tired of plain gray slabs? Want something that pops, blends with your landscaping, or just doesn’t look like every other patio on the block? Stained concrete is your answer. At RS Concrete Contractor Tucson, we transform dull surfaces into bold, beautiful finishes using high-quality stains designed for Tucson’s tough conditions.

 

From patios in Rita Ranch to garage floors in Midtown, we’ve brought new life to concrete all over town—without tearing anything out.

What Is Stained Concrete?

Stained concrete is regular concrete treated with special colorants that soak into the surface. It doesn’t sit on top like paint—it becomes part of the slab. That means it won’t peel, chip, or flake off like a coating.

We offer two types:

  • Acid-Based Stains – React chemically with the concrete for a rich, variegated, mottled look. Great for earthy, natural tones like browns, coppers, and greens.

  • Water-Based Stains – Available in a wider range of bright, solid colors. These give you more control and consistency.

Want a rustic flagstone look? Or maybe a clean, modern charcoal finish? We can help you pick the stain that fits your vibe.

Where Stained Concrete Works Best

You can stain both indoor and outdoor concrete, and it works great on:

  • Patios

  • Walkways

  • Driveways

  • Garage floors

  • Pool decks

  • Interior floors (living rooms, basements, etc.)

As long as the slab is in decent shape, we can apply stain to it. And if the surface is rough, we can clean it up with grinding or patching first.

Benefits of Stained Concrete

  • Custom Look – No two slabs look the same. You get a unique finish every time.

  • UV-Resistant Colors – We use stain and sealers that hold up to Tucson’s sun.

  • Budget-Friendly – Much cheaper than tile, stone, or pavers.

  • Long-Lasting – With sealing, your color stays vibrant for years.

  • Low Maintenance – Easy to clean, especially when sealed.

It’s one of the easiest and most affordable ways to boost the look of your space—without ripping everything out and starting over.

Our Staining Process

Here’s how we do it:

  1. Surface Prep – We clean the concrete, remove stains or residue, and patch any rough spots.

  2. Stain Application – We apply the chosen color(s) in layers for depth and consistency.

  3. Rinsing & Neutralizing (for acid stains) – Keeps the chemical reaction balanced and safe.

  4. Sealing – Locks in the color and protects against water, weather, and wear.

The result? A clean, rich surface that turns heads.

Tucson-Inspired Color Ideas

Looking for inspiration? Some popular local choices:

  • Adobe Tan – Blends with stucco homes and desert landscaping.

  • Saddle Brown – Rustic and natural for patios or outdoor kitchens.

  • Desert Red – Matches Tucson’s clay tones and cactus gardens.

  • Charcoal Gray – Clean and modern—great for garages or driveways.

  • Sandstone – Soft, warm, and timeless.

We’ll show you real examples and swatches before we begin, so you’re not guessing how it’ll look.
