Turn a Worn Patio Into a Slate-Style Outdoor Space

Slate-style patio created with a sprayed concrete overlay and custom taped pattern

A worn, painted, or plain concrete patio does not always need to be replaced. In this project, Decorative Concrete of Virginia transformed an older patio into a slate-style surface using a sprayed concrete overlay, custom tape pattern, and protective sealer.

Creating the New Finish

The patio was pressure-washed and ground to remove paint and surface buildup. After acid-etching and rinsing, the crew applied a light-gray base coat.

Once the base coat cured, tape was placed to create the slate pattern. A darker gray overlay was sprayed over the tape and lightly troweled to create a knockdown texture.

After the tape was removed, the slate-style pattern was revealed. The patio was then cleaned and sealed with two coats of clear sealer for added protection.

Patterned sprayed overlays can refresh patios, walkways, pool decks, and other concrete surfaces with decorative colors and textures.

Who We Are

OUR STORY

In 2001, a family vacation changed everything. While away, our dad—then a successful home builder—spotted a crew installing a decorative concrete overlay. Intrigued, he walked over, asked questions, and even jotted down the name from the bag of materials they were using. A few weeks later, we were on a plane to Florida for hands-on training.

What began as a side project soon became a passion. Our eye for quality and craftsmanship, paired with our growing expertise, transformed decorative concrete of virginia from a part time hustle into our full-time calling.

In 2010, our good friend Landon—who had been running his own landscaping business—partnered with us. Together, we expanded into polished concrete and commercial coatings, adding even more ways to bring beauty and durability to floors across Virginia.

Today, Decorative Concrete of Virginia is still family-owned and built on the same principles that started it all: hard work, quality craftsmanship, and treating every project like it’s for our own home.

It started with a spark of curiosity… and grew into a legacy of concrete artistry.

WHAT OUR CUSTOMERS ARE SAYING

Overall experience was great.
Tim went the extra mile to ensure that the coating would be compatible with my horrible concrete floor that suffered from spalling in the past. Used extra layer of vapor barrier to ensure good results. The team that came out was top notch as well, left the job site clean and were very friendly. I would definitely recommend them to do your floor project.

The folks at Decorative Concrete of Virginia are the absolute best at what they do! We are a repeat customer and I would not hesitate to hire them again. Our garage floor is now gorgeous! The team that worked on our floor was prompt, polite and really knew what they were doing. From the first contact with Colton to the finished product was wonderful.

Decorative Concrete showed up on time, were very professional, and highly competent! We had them apply polyaspartic coatings to both our garage floor and the unfinished area of our basement. The floors now look terrific! Our builder was so impressed with their work that he was going to contract with them for future homes he builds. We would recommend them unhesitatingly!
