Patio
Great planter boxes
concrete are removed through to the soil exposing the rebar. This allows the whole driveway to remain monolithic. While still workable, the edges are rolled over giving a natural "stone" look. Finally the surface has a 2-color agent added to the surface in a natural look & the surface was stamped with a slate texture.Between the joints I added 1/2"-to 1" black Tejas rock. One could try grasses.You can see, this process is a bit of an art form.
We formed the shape of the pavers out of 1/8" ripped down sheets of particle board. We then poured the concrete 4" thick and used a rubber "lava style" stamps to make the depressions in the concrete. It was stained 30 days later for the dark color.
Love the short fence, pillars and gate.
