Stained Concrete

Stained concrete is a durable surface that adapts to almost any design. You can add color to new concrete either with dye spread on the slab surface or with pigment mixed into the concrete before pouring. Choose a hue slightly darker than you want because it will fade in the sun. For existing concrete patios, apply a chemical stain to achieve the desired color.
