Integral color holds up better than surface-only color in full sun, and a good sealer protects against both UV fade and stains from leaves, berries and sap in tree-shaded yards.
Plan to reseal every two to three years. Ask for a non-slip additive for pool decks and steps.
Stamped concrete needs the same base, slope and joints as plain concrete, and the same root protection near trees; a lifted stamped slab is expensive to replace.
Stamped & Decorative Concrete questions
Does stamped concrete stain under trees?
It can. Sealing and resealing every few years keeps stains from setting.
Is stamped concrete slippery?
It can be when sealed; a non-slip additive solves it.
Stamped concrete or pavers near trees?
Pavers are easier to reset if roots lift them; stamped concrete needs a root barrier to stay flat.
