Flagstone overlaying concrete patio


I'll occasionally run into a client that has a concrete patio that they think just isn't all that attractive. That was the case for a lady I met last year. She had a screened in porch (about 120 square feet) off her den that was crying out for brown flag. I visited her today to take a look at the potential for creating a new stone walkway for her yard and while I was at it, I took a quick pic of the stone work I did outside her den. The formula was this: (1) clean the existing concrete pad with a wire brush and acid (2) clean the thin brown flagstone with several different brushes and water (3) mortar the stone in using type S mortar with a buff dye and an acrylic adhesive (4) final clean-up

This is the outside portion of the patio that I built. The inside flagstone overlay and the outside flagstone patio are really both one continuation.

decorative stamped concrete said...

Due to the wide array of options when it comes to concrete pattern, concrete colors, and the cost of stamped, or imprinted concrete in relation to the materials it is a substitute for, the choice of stamped concrete is becoming more popular and frequent.
