This is the final product with the stain and clear coat applied to the driveway. The driveway was divided into sections to show the individual tiles with the design to show the rustic look that was applied with the basic texture. The aqua stain colors used were charcoal grey for the border and a terra cotta for the main driveway tiles.
The owners of this mountain-side home needed more outdoor space where their children could play, since the site did not provide a level yard. So this large deck was added extending out over the steep hillside. The sloping beams above are designed to receive a future system of retractable canvas sun-shades. The walking surface is 2' x 2' precast concrete tiles. Rain and snow drain through the joints between the tiles.
