Staining Concrete?

[Matthew Spiegel]

I read somewhere you can stain concrete and would be a lot cheaper than pavers or natural stone, see more info here

Has anyone tried this? 

And how did it look? Did it turn out as expected?

Photos?

Thanks.

We've done it many times and looked great.  Key to it is the same as painting, the prep work that goes into BEFORE and the quality of the job itself.  Just like any stain, dont start or stop in the middle of an area or the overlap will show. 

Follow manufacturers directions to a T and you should have a quality finished product.
