I'll post some pics later this week, but if any of you have a stamped patio, please share your images. I was apprehensive about it due to the extra cost, but now that it's done, man, it looks awesome. I'm not even sure an actual stone patio looks any better. Besides, if I went that route, I was still stuck pouring a slab to put it on because, living in the PNW, the ground is not stable enough long term to put one just on a gravel bed as the patio manufacturers spec. We did look at pavers first, but a few visits from the contractors changed our minds to concrete, so we chose stamping for a better look.
I'm quite pleased, as is the wife. So momma's happy, that's good.
