My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

    Georgann,

    the paved surface material is indeed concrete. it was stamped, scored and acid etched with a concrete stain. it was done by a professional, but there may be kits that allow a home owner to do it. it is a tricky process. it should be sealed afterwards to protect it and bring out the color.

    best of luck!
