The whole process usually takes 3 to 5  days depending on the surface and weather. 

The procedure is as follows:

1. Pressure clean entire surface

2. Apply a thin layer of cement mixed with a bonding agent or scratch coat the surface if there is an existing surface already down. Such as spraydeck, keystone, or stain. Then the following day apply top coat.

3. After the cement starts to harden, the stones get carved

4. Following day we go over colors with you to match exactly what you are looking for.  Then each stone gets hand colored.

5. Lastly the entire surface gets sealed
