ok. certainly a dark blue violet is the trend as blue violet, like green and yellow are colours that recede and create more space. Another creative option for you is to unite the 2 timbers colours. firstly add pots in the fence colour around your pool with tall plants that will link to the background trees or contrast them i.e. with red flowers / leaves. 2nd, paint some of the fence plants to the dame stain of the decking and others in grey stains. this look will create a natural decor style. Simple, easy and different. Have fun!

Hi All, It sounds like tumeric and grease are the worst culprits for staining. We are looking to put the Cloudburst in our kitchen as our island and backsplash, but I'm very nervous. I love to cook and host. I also LOVE the look of this stone and would like to make it work if we can. Are there any bakers on this thread that have experience with these countertops? If you are rolling out dough or baking with greasy dough, how has that experience been? What if you get butter/oil on it? Any tips? Do you cover the counter before doing your baking etc.? I imagine beet juice would also be a nightmare?

I thought pebbleCrete was dated . I would not use it it’s hard to clean and it’s not clean look you want. Why not save money and do it properly. In the meantime just put up with concrete.

Help! I have designed a pool area which has white pavers and I was trying to be cost effective and do the additional path surround in white concrete (thinking this is cheaper than paving the whole thing). I am struggling for any concreter to do White. Still waiting on a quote from my 4th contractor as the first three were not interested into looking at getting 'off white' for the pigment to be added. Has anyone had success with either painting or resurfacing to get their desired colour/look from regular grey concrete? Trying to work out a back up plan if the last contractor has no luck. Original design idea was to have 1.2 - 1.5 mtr path surrounding pool and 2 floating decks coming of half the concrete and over a garden bed. Desired white for a fresh coastal look. Any suggested would be appreciated. Pic 1 is my pool pic 2 if my inspo shot
