What was the feedback following the patterned concrete?
(was considering this)
Looks nice to begin with but needs resealing every couple of years and the top rubs off you also get puddles my neighbour had one done and it’s chipped after 8 month and needs work on it

That's great, thanks.

Mine's a new build, with a compacted type 1 surface at the moment with enough of a slope that drainage shouldn't be an issue. The company I'm considering ( https://en-gb.facebook.com/imprintedconcretescotla... ) seem to take a lot of pride in their work, posting a lot of completed jobs on social media (which all look great), but it was longevity that was the big unknown.


eta: this is one of their before and afters:






If there's a good chance it'll still look like that after 10 years, I think this is the option I'll go for.

That looks lovely and would look nicer with lighting at each side but I imagine it to be very slippy in winter

Contacted a few on Marshall’s site so will let you know the quotes,

My usual builder who I’m using to do my wall seems to ignore I want the drive doing on a wet slurry and just advised sand then put a sealant on top so once he’s done the wall I will get one of the Marshalls recommended to do the drive

Going to be a busy summer I reckon

Holiday to Florida in June
Bathroom
Wall
Drive
New guttering and facias in winter
