EZ Stain Cafe

I wanted a fresh natural gray finish on the front walk, and this got close to the look I had in mind. After we taped the borders before rolling, the coverage was solid on the rougher spots. It looks better in person because the front walk still has natural variation. This was a good upgrade for the money.

I used Limestone Yellow to change the look of our courtyard without covering the texture. Once the concrete was clean, the main section rolled out cleanly. The color did its job because the courtyard no longer looks plain gray. The finished look matched what we had in mind.

The goal was to refresh the driveway band without making it look painted, so we used Antique Black. The first coat gave us a preview, and light coats gave us the most even finish. The biggest difference is that the driveway band looks maintained again. One section needed another light pass, but it blended in fine.

Terra Cotta gave our courtyard a cleaner look without hiding the surface. With the slab ready, it was easy to avoid a heavy coated look. After the sealer went on, the courtyard looked completely refreshed. The second coat made the biggest difference for us.

The Emerald Green color was a good fit for our dusty pool deck detail. Once the concrete was clean, it was easier to control than a thicker coating. I like that the pool deck detail has color without looking painted.
