Does any one have experience with adding an overlay of this type? I want to do this on my driveway, under carport and the walkways around my house. Looking for what I can expect to pay and how long it will possibly last. Any information actually. Thanks in advance.
Here is a pic of what I'm basically looking for:

Also interested...
I have exactly what's in your pic. About 350 baht per sq meter all in.
Been in for several years and still looks good. Does require some mold removal every couple years.
High pressure sprayer works the charm.
is it available at your normal homemart etc ?

Hi Norton. Thanks for the price info. When you say all in, is that material and labor? Does this go right on top of smooth concrete, which is what I have, or does it need to be roughed up in some way? Also, your profile says you're in Roi Et. Can you recommend someone to do the job? Can they do a concrete pour as well? I want to add an additional walkway and patio. Thanks again!Quote:

When you get there, I will send you phone number. Builder needs to look at what you want so he can give you estimate and date to start.Quote:

I have an idea: if you get the expat newsletter, send the Editor an email and ask him to forward the phone number, or your contact details, to the Dan that's in aviation. I've met him for coffee a couple of times and he'll know who I am. If you don't get the newsletter, let me know and I'll give you the link to sign up. Great little publication for our little community.Quote:

They measured all around the house and then took us to 3 customer locations that they had finished recently. The work was quite impressive and the homeowners spoke highly of both the product and the work/workers.
He quoted 2 prices, any size stones, by the square meter: 260 baht for all one color surface, 280 baht for 2 colors (imagine one color with a second color for a border). 50 baht extra per square meter for a sealer to ensure no mold accumulation. They also can do inlaid shapes such as stars, etc.
Also, for additional charge, they will do tile removal and additional concrete pours, with me providing those materials. Of course I can have someone else do that work if I want.
Hi guys,
Sorry for necro-ing the thread, but any chance that someone be kind enough to send me the company's contact details?
Thanks in advance
This question has come up in another thread. In the US we call it exposed aggregate.
Sometimes the concrete is washed, merely exposing the aggregate that's already in the concrete.
For a really good effect special rocks are scattered on the wet concrete and floated all the way into the concrete. Some people immediately hose off just enough of the concrete to expose the stones. I think it is much better to wait overnight, pour muriatic acid on the still green but setting surface, wait a bit and then hose it off. The acid won't soak in very far and you won't risk removing too much concrete and loosening the stones.
In any event it always looks best with a clear sealer over the finished job.

Just exposing the aggregate that's naturally in the concrete:
