This walkway was brought to life with the application of a 1/4" thick stamped concrete overlay using Elite Crete Systems Texture-Pave stamp mix and an "Italian Slate" seamless patterned stamp set. The partially cured overlay was carved into randomly sized tiles the next day and then hand painted with Ultra-Stone water based antiquing stain. Last we sealed with 2 coats of CSS high solids acrylic sealer.

The location of this project was once the site of a housing project that was in such bad shape following Hurricane Katrina that it was torn down completely. Part of the new construction was a pool and splash park. The spalsh park is 735 sq. ft. and honors the city's love of music with its design. Piano keys and musical notes were incorporated into the Sundek classic spray texture system.

On this project, most people think that a truck delivered pieces of slate and they were then hand-placed. When in fact, this in an inlaid slate deck. The concrete slab was pressure cleaned. Then 1/8 of gray color cement was laid down (to create the look of a grout line base). The pattern was laid out with duct tape, and a small rubber roller was used to press on the duct tape. Then about 3/16 of color cement was applied with acrylic mix. After two hours when the concrete had set enough to be walked on, the tape was pulled off. Each slate part of the pattern was stained. The veins were handpainted to give it a little bit of a marble effect in some areas. It was then sealed.

Dominic D’Assis, owner of Wine Country Coatings, repaired and brightened the bike path at his children’s school. The concrete path had settled, and the two year old kids could no longer use it. Each parent contributes a number of hours per year helping at the school, so D’Assis asked if he could fix up the path. He began by prepping the surface for an overlay material. After completing the first coat he used the overlay with 1/8th washed pea gravel and filled in all the settling issues. Using a tuck pointer blade on his 4 1/2 inch grinder, he proceeded to engrave the pattern.  After all engraving was finished, he used the now sectioned off areas like a paint-by-number picture. After filling in all the colored areas, he sealed everything. After the sealer dried, he scored all the lines again and cleaned them up. Then using black grout in conjunction with cement modifier, he grouted all the engraved lines and sealed again.

This existing concrete walkway and entryway was enhanced with Elite Crete's Thin Finish Polymer cement. The base coat was integrally colored with desert beige. The stone pattern and brick border were hand taped, and then colored with a darker intensity of desert beige, and a combo of chocolate and brick color. The project was sealed with Elite Crete’s solvent-based acrylic sealer (CSS).

This driveway was created using a gray sprayed on texture over an ashlar slate stencil. The diamond shapes were fashioned using the same stencil turned at an angle and colored red. A burgundy textured border was sprayed on around the driveway.
