Concrete and stone work is now a cheap, flexible medium for home DIY, readily and cheaply available from DIY and building stores nation-wide. This book includes traditional techniques for laying concrete, adapted to the needs of ordinary homeowners, and also shows cutting-edge techniques - tumbled concrete pavers, acid-etching for coloured concrete slabs, green paving options like rain-garden drains and permeable pavers.
Several cutting-edge projects are included like polished concrete countertops and stamped concrete walkways, and a complete outdoor kitchen for a patio is also included. The DVD features real-time demonstrations of crucial techniques, plus the entire print in electronic form.
