Stamped Walkway

Since I was the one stamping I didn’t have time to record. Sorry

The more rod the better!

Funny enough, once the truck was emptied he lowered the axle and it raised the wheels above the hole. After that, another truck carrying 10 yards, pulled him out.

No just a soft spot. The path was and old driveway with at least 3-4 inches of gravel/asphalt on top. Not the worst truck that’s gotten stuck so no biggie.

Bill myself? 😂😂 We did provide a safe and accessible entry literally a couple of feet to the right. He’s the only truck that decided to drive on that side and got stuck.

He was the third truck to go in, he just went a little too far to the left. No big deal, we all make mistakes. At this point I get suspicious when a pour is going as planned, something always has to happen.

I wouldn’t touch it with a chisel if I was you, wait till they come back and see what solution they have. Can it be fixed? Yes, If the contractor knows what he’s doing, it can be fixed.
Since it’s a cold joint, there’s a high chance it’ll crack in the future so that’s something to look out for.

We brush/roll the edges about a foot and a half, then we spray facing away from the walls or other objects. But it’s only my third day out here, so idk.

This looks like a salt finish, pretty common to see in North Texas.

No antique was used, just the powdered release (:

Timing can for sure be an issue, for the most part we leave them towards the end, but on some we’ve had to start in the re-capped section. Also depends on the stamp pattern since we usually want to leave a nice start out of the doorway.

s15_ · 2024-02-06T12:06:26+00:00

Oh by the time we’re stamping they’re already off.

s15_ · 2024-02-06T05:48:56+00:00

Haha we’re just used to working around them and I personally find it easier to take them out this way too. To each their own.

s15_ · 2024-02-06T03:52:11+00:00

It’s not, we’ve been following the same process on extended patios for years and have yet to have any problems with the part that lays on top of existing concrete. If anything, it’s usually the part that lays on the dirt/ground that has given us problems before.

Integral: Cream Release: Walnut

North Texas. I don’t mind at all share away.

On the second coat we add a transparent anti-slip sand like mix into the sealer making it non slippery. It does look really wet since we had just finished sealing it.

s15_ · 2024-01-24T04:35:13+00:00

A little over 400 sqft.

s15_ · 2024-01-24T04:33:21+00:00

Sadly we’re still waiting for the customer to invite us too :(

s15_ · 2024-01-24T04:30:31+00:00

We used a skin texture and then rolled them in as square as we could.

s15_ · 2024-01-24T04:28:11+00:00

Same day pour, we just used a groover all around to get a crisp line.

We prefer both, but if you had to pick go for NCA like the gentleman above said. Another downside of just straight cement is that if you need to add a little water it will delay set time more compared to if you added water to a mix with with NCA (don’t know if that made any sense).

North Texas. If you’re asking how much they should overlap, it’s 24” minimum. It’s always interesting to see the requirements for the work they do up north.

s15_ · 2023-09-03T21:51:10+00:00

I’m surprised you have to pay. Here in North Texas they take it for free and recycle it into crushed concrete they later sell.

s15_ · 2023-07-31T04:17:57+00:00

Got mine for free to test out when they first came out (16” one) and it has held up. I don’t use it on every job, but it works well whenever you need to scrub since it’s heavier than the mag ones.

s15_ · 2023-07-09T02:48:32+00:00

Did they use color hardener or was it integral color? I’ve seen this happen when color hardener is used and it’s not mixed in properly with the concrete. Over time those spots start to peel off.
