Yes .. it is stamped concrete. I thought I would try my hand at it since I had never done it before. A pro may have gotten a more uniform texture on it than I did, but overall, I was pretty pleased with the results.

Looks darn good to me! I cheated when I redid the walk through our daylily bed and used pea gravel!

Well, that should get you a kitchen pass or two!

I have a funny feeling that Rob has been several feet underground before laying that concrete....Now that does look good Rob.

Thank you all for you kind words .. It was a fun project. Now, once this week of rain is over, I can start on the landscaping.

But... but... what about the metal detecting!!!?

 

[RGINN]

That came out great! Used to we'd just pour a slab, strike it off, finish it, edge it, and maybe broom it. Guys like you took that a step further and turned it in to an art form. Good job.

Nice job!

That looks very good I also do many jobs like that, you save alot by doing it yourself.
