Concrete Patio

9 years ago

I love the patio. We are planning on resurfacing our existing patio. What type of coating and color was used? Is the patio broom brushed? How were the lines made? Thanks

Hello, the patio is mixed with integral color, Davis Colors, 8087 Graphite. We then did an acid wash on top of the troweled finish to expose some of the aggregate. Hope this helps, thanks

Really lovely patio! I especially like the simple pattern you have done with the scored lines. May I ask how you made them? Was the concrete dry or still wet? How deep are they and what tools are required? Thanks so very much!
