Stamped Concrete Patios Provide a Place for Cooking
Instead of heating up your home by cooking indoors this summer, prepare meals with an outdoor grill out on the patio. Cooking out in the open air will also help prevent cooking odors from lingering inside, which seem to be even stronger when the weather is warmer.
You can even go as far as creating an entire outdoor kitchen by installing a grill, oven, countertops, mini fridge and storage areas.

Create a Space for Sports Activities
If you are looking for a way to keep you and your family active this summer, use your stamped concrete for an area to play sports.
This can be done by simply adding a single structure like a basketball hoop. Or some homeowners will choose stamped concrete colors and patterns that resemble an actual basketball court or tennis court, completely designating their patio for playing sports.
