Stamped Concrete and Bear Winters
Stamped concrete in New Castle County counts as exterior concrete, which the county’s inspection checklist says must be air-entrained under IRC 402.2. Resealing every few years protects the color and pattern.
Rock salt is hard on new concrete, so use sand for traction during the first winter instead.
A stamped patio in Bear doesn’t need a New Castle County building permit when it’s a non-structural slab no more than 30 inches above grade, but county code still keeps a ground-level patio at least 2 feet from the property line.
Many Bear neighborhoods also have deed restrictions, and the county asks owners to check them before any exterior project. If your community has one, we plan the patio around it from the first visit.
