It really is amazing to think that this patio was completely cracked up 5 years ago.  In fact the homeowner, Mr. V, was unsure of what exactly they were going to do about the patio.  They had a few companies stop by and give estimates on different types of overlays.  However, the homeowner had a good friend, who worked in concrete for many years advise him against overlays.  His friend said this because he knew that the overlay material will break where the cracks in the concrete are.  His friend loved how we used the cracks in his concrete as part of the design.

Here is Mr. V’s patio 5 years later.  We just gave it a good cleaning and a coat of sealer to make it look brand new.
