With more and more people spending time in their homes and really getting a lot of use out of their decks and lawns, you will find that there has been a real trend towards patio concrete staining. With patio concrete staining, you can enjoy the natural look of brick or stone while still using concrete, which is simply the most affordable and easy to maintain building material out there.
When you want to make sure that you patio has a fresh new look that is ready for partying or even just simple relaxation, consider what this technique can do for you.
Exterior concrete unfortunately has reputation for being flat and boring, but even if this is what you currently have, you don't have to rip it out and start over from scratch. Whether you want to redo your walkway, your driveway or your patio, you'll find that patio concrete staining can give you a bold new look. While of course you can work with concrete that is already there, you will find that in many cases, it is worth your time to pour a new layer of thin concrete over it.
If you want to go ahead with concrete staining, you can pour new concrete, as suggested above, or you may wish to clean old concrete with a pressure washer. From there, you will essentially get to make your choice between two different kinds of stain. Some people love the look of acid stains, which will give you a translucent, lovely smooth color. On the other hand, if you are dealing with concrete that is more eroded or rough, consider an acrylic stain, which is a bit easier to work with, and won't harm your lawn near by.
If you are not putting down new concrete, you will find that the cleaner you make the concrete that you are working with, the better. A concrete cleaner that has muriatic acid can help the stain adhere to the surface much more easily. Also keep in mind the fact that you should absolutely soak the grass and shrubs near the concrete with water to protect them.
When you are considering patio concrete staining, there is a lot to think about, but don't let this stop you from getting a bold new look!
