ok,
Any builders or concrete experts, please chime in.
Need some knowledgeable opinions. Since I am here, I will probably just settle for the opinions part!
Having my back patio (currently flagstone and pea gravel) upgraded.
Going to go concrete for the low maintenance of it.
It is not done much anymore, but I like the look (and relative non slip surface) of exposed aggregate.
Colored (throughout, not stained on surface) and Stamped is going to cost me $4,000 more. Contractor is pushing the colored and stamped and I admit, it looks good.
1) pros - cons of exposed aggregate, is it durable (my guess is yes)
2) pros - cons of C&S, how durable is it, will the pattern wear out in high traffic, how often do you have to re-seal, etc, etc)?
please help with the decision process.
