About Stampcrete

Stampcrete continues to make a lasting mark on the world of decorative paving

Many can follow, but only a few can lead. P. Michael Fennessy, who owns U.S. patents on how his stamping equipment is manufactured, has continually made an indelible mark on the decorative paving industry for more than 60 years.

His experience goes beyond the commercial arena. P. Michael is the inventor of the American With Disabilities’ Act stamps that are used to create truncated domes on transit platforms and curb cuts on walk ways.

These truncated domes are textured ground surface indicators found on many footpaths, stairs and train station platforms to assist blind and visually impaired pedestrians.
