Very nice. Stamped concrete?

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!

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

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.
