Anyone here know anything about decorative concrete? We're thinking a concrete patio is the way to go in terms of maintenance. I think just regularly old concrete would be fine, but the wife wants s

The stamps are fairly expensive, it's skilled labor to do it right (you have to get the expansion joints in the right places, so they don't show). How much of this is done where you are? I'm sure dem

We just went through this same decision for a 1,200 SF driveway and 575 SF of sidewalk. We went all around and looked at various contractors' work, and our main problem with most of it wasa that it t

Home Depot (in my area at least; PNW) sells a setup to this. I believe it is primarily intended for walkways (which is what a neighbor used it for), but I imagine you could lay out a patio with it. T

If it was me, I would look into paving stones. Check out http://www.unilock.com/ for some ideas. I think imprinted concrete looks inherently "fake". It is concrete trying to look like individual ston

A neighbour down the street from me did this to his driveway. It looked great when first done, but after a year, the colourant started to wash out in blotches, and now it looks absolutely terrible. A
