Stamped concrete in Mt. Lebanon, PA
Mt. Lebanon grew as a streetcar suburb after 1901 and boomed once the Liberty Tubes opened in 1924. The result is street after street of Tudor Revival, Colonial Revival, Foursquare and Craftsman houses, and stamped concrete here should look as if it came with them.

Matching the pattern to the house style
Each style has a natural partner. A Tudor Revival with stone at the front suits a flagstone or ashlar slate in muted gray or walnut. A brick Colonial looks right with a herringbone brick stamp on a brick-red or sandstone base. A Craftsman bungalow can carry a simple cobblestone, or a plain tinted walk with a stamped border. Our stamped concrete patterns and colors guide shows them side by side.
Front walks matter in a town where children walk to school and families walk to Uptown. A walk that matches the house and has a textured finish looks right and stays safer when wet.
The Mt. Lebanon Historic District counts 3,341 contributing buildings developed from 1874 to about 1945, so ask the township whether any review applies before you change a front walk, steps or anything else that shows from the street. Rear patios are usually simpler, but check anyway. Where the streets follow the contours, as in Virginia Manor, back yards may sit above or below the house, and a patio may need a few steps or a low wall. Older homes often have older slabs. A level, sound one can take an overlay, while one that has tipped toward the house should come out. Mature trees shade many yards, so a mid-tone hides algae better than a pale gray.

Stamped concrete questions from Mt. Lebanon
Can you stamp concrete to look like brick?
Yes. Herringbone and other brick stamps are common, and a brick-red base with a dark release in the joints gives the look of old brick. It won't match real brick exactly, so lay samples beside the house first.
Which stamped concrete pattern suits a Tudor home in Mt. Lebanon?
A flagstone or ashlar slate in muted gray or walnut usually sits well beside a Tudor Revival front. A soft, uneven release and some hand antiquing help it look less uniform.
Should a stamped walk match the front steps on a Mt. Lebanon house?
It usually looks best when the walk and steps share one pattern and color, with a plain border tying them together. Mt. Lebanon has a large National Register historic district, so ask the township whether any review applies before you change anything that shows from the street.
How much is a stamped concrete patio in Mt. Lebanon?
Most stamped patios run $15 to $25 per sq ft, so a 300 sq ft patio is about $4,500 to $7,500 on a clear site. Taking out an old slab adds $2 to $4 per sq ft.
