   Looks nice.  What did you use for your stamp?  Tell me about the concrete mix and coloring agents.

   thanks,regular 25mpa concrete with a light grey coloring agent

   bullfloated into,then hit with a steel trowel (after bleed water),

   then a dark grey release agent is broadcasted over, then stamped

   with some slate textured mats ....

   I bought mats with out any grout pattern lines because I do not

   trust my concrete finishing skills,so I went for the easiest way I

   could think of.....well I guess hiring a legit concrete finisher woulda been

   easier,lol.....

   In hindsight I should of added a third colour (brown/red) for a

   better look,maybe next time....

   Those mats are expensive - aren't they?  Or did you just buy one or 2.  My concrete guy told me that a set cost him $1300 I think it was.  That was they type with the "grout lines", and I think each mat has a different pattern of "stones". Matt

   I only bought two mats-a 2' diameter and a 3' foot diameter-

   for about $275 cnd....

   or I coulda rented them,but that would be just logical....
