The main reason for the growing acceptance of stamped concrete is its ever-increasing variety of patterns to choose from.

Some template providers have hundreds of standard patterns, offering even more common designs like brick, stone, or slate in many different variations and dimensions.

For an unconventional look or to create a unique look, you can find a variety of specialized templates in intriguing categories such as "plant life", "sea and marine life", animal footprints and even fossils.

Templates can also be made to order to produce unique logos and other graphics.
