Concrete Finished!


after waiting almost 1 year for the perfect day for pouring colored concrete, the job is finally done. And Wow does it look nice. We used a chicago brick pattern, with red brick as the color and walnut as the release.

A very interesting (and expensive) process to stamp concrete.

1 contractor ordered a special mix of red concrete
2 pour
3 dust the stamp in the release color
4 press the stamp into the fresh concrete
5 let the concrete dry overnight
6 power wash off most of the reease color the next day
7 let the concrete completely cure (about 3-5 days)
8 completly sweep the dry driveway
9 spray a sealer on the concrete
10 let the sealer cure for 3-5 days

the finished product looks outstanding and would recomend it to anybody.
