Welcome to our forum.
I recently had my patio and sidewalk redone.They tore out the old concrete and put in new "stamped /colored" concrete.I am thrilled with it.Everyone thinks it is flagstone or some slate, but it is just plain old concrete that is stamped while it's wet and colored.It is amazing what they can do these days with concrete.Here are some pictures of the work I had done, and remember it is all just concrete.
I'd love to see the pics! For some reason, the way your post format, I want to read them like a poem. Because, your postsformat and appearto be a poem And I find myslefPausingWhere there shound not be anyPauses. It's driving me crazy
