sometimes the weirdest situations create the most interesting techniques. Here’s an example of a water based stain over stamped concrete. The wrong release colour was used with coloured concrete, and this stain changed the entire tone of the project from an orangey brown appearance to this dark brown highlighted pad.

let’s play: follow the magic pour hose!

you know, I’ve never been a fan of manufactured rock. Probably because the colours are lame and they look fake. We recently stained some rock for a customer and are pleased with the results. Have a look see…:

a real rock

a face rock stained

a manufactured rock waterfall stained. The idea is to use the correct dark stain, and acids to achieve the rust oxide markings in brown tones…. I think.

here’s a little last year landscaping patio action…. remember last year, the year with 3 days of sunshine? lol
