Tinted and stamped concrete

Customer wants his driveway and back patio done. The driveway looks like the cream has worn away in spots, exposing the tan colored sand used underneath.


I don’t know what this is called but the back patio has that painted, stamped concrete and I suspect someone took a wand to it. It’s not dirty, just looks like that.

First time I’ve dealt with this stuff, advice is appreciated.

Soak all the plants down and softwash it.

My 2 cents, the tan drive is ready for a seal after its surface cleaned. That will help blend the colors if its tinted and protect further erosion. The stamped slab is ready for a surface cleaner and a 2 or 3% rinse.

Should I knock the SC down to about 1500? What happens to the color on the stamped patio?

Im not sure what equipment your running but I do stamped concrete a lot with 8gpm, 19"ww, 200’ hose and 2502 (4 nozzle). Never had an issue.

Guess I’ll have to do a test spot first.

Same as @Nashvillewash said, I do the same….
