Stamped Concrete Patios
Stamped concrete and patios go together like bacon and eggs. You can choose your color, your stamp, and borders if you like. Patios can get a little complex on hillsides. Retaining walls and steps can add costs to your patio. What we did here, is try and keep it as simple as possible without wasting…
Read MoreStamped Concrete Ashlar Slate
I try to take good pictures for my blogs. Keep in mind, I enjoy photography and shooting, but I have to shoot 10 to get 1. This patio was done about 3 months ago. The homeowner chose the Ashlar Slate pattern. The pattern and color really fit in well with their house and lay out.…

I think this is a pretty good combination. We used the running bond brick as the border and the cobble in the field. Colors are Hayfield with a “brown” release. The brick matches the release color. Cobble is kind of a busy pattern as is the…

It all starts with planning and communication. You can see that in the photo. It’s beautiful. This does not happen by wishing of course.
