Does anyone here have any experience with doing Concrete Stamping and or Overlays?

I know this probably should be in the Brick,Masonry and Concrete forum but that forum doesn't seem to have an posts and I figured since I need help with doing this to my patio I could post it here.

I am in need of some pointers and advice on extending my existing Plain old concrete slab patio and then doing an overlay to make it look like brick.

I have never worked with concrete so I am completly clueless even on where to being...

Thanks

fsanchez,

I put a copy of your thread in the Concrete forum for you.

My suggestion would be to hire a concrete contractor who already owns the stamps and has lots of experience with them to pour and finish the slab for you. Those stamps are not cheap, and, at least around here, there's no place that rents them.
