Dude... look for someone who has used this and see how it looks in 3 to 5 months depending on the climate you live in.. lots of heat, rain. snow... it's not that good when it comes to lasting...
I’m so glad I found your review. I love the look but the product only had three stars @ Lowe’s…possibly for the coverage issue you mentioned, but I can live with budgeting a bit more so long as the result is this good. Thanks for doing the one year follow up video.
Nice job. Just wondering as it's been about two years since your work; how is it holding up? Any chipping or problems with sliding chairs on the surface, etc.?
Loved how you explained each detailed step thanks now if I have the $$$ and your courage to attempt this my back patio has a large crack to repair first
Hey that was quite the fix! Came from your original video as I am a concrete finisher and am wanting to tackle my patio extension in two sections and its really cool to see that even when a project doesn't go how you want you can always make it prettier without completing scrapping and starting over. Thanks for the video I hit that subscribe button and look forward to some more projects you do!
This looks FANTASTIC! Thanks for sharing! I have a rounded patio that has seen better days, that I was thinking I’d cover with some sort of pre-made outdoor tiles but after seeing this video, I’m having second thoughts! I’ll do a little more research and I’ll visit your links (Thank you again!) but this looks AWESOME!
I just finished troweling my first coat. It took 9 gallons to cover 378 sq ft and definitely needs the recommended 2nd coat. My experience is that I don't like the look of troweling and will have to spray the 2nd coat for the look I want to achieve. I have 6 gallons left and am unsure of the coverage when spraying. Daich claims SpreadRock will cover max 60 sq ft per gallon per coat and recommends ordering 20-25% more than your coverage area suggests. daichcoatings.com/shop/spreadrock/
That's really nice. I have a painted patio that I need to spruce up and I thought about laying tile or stone on it but I have a low lip sliding door and I don't really want to raise the overall level of the patio. This looks very good and should be a lot cheaper and easier to do.
Wow. That looks like just the solution I need for my patio. How long do you have to wait between coats as I expect I will need to rent the concrete mixer and would like to only have to rent it for a day.
Congratulations Scott, you did good job considering your experience. I've known guys that have been doing for awhile and they still have a hard time spraying it consistently. That is the key, consistency. Next time you spray a deck, I suggest you trowel it LIGHTLY, it will look much better 😉. You'll need a helper so you can trowel while they spray. DON'T trowel when too wet. Give it a minute but don't let get dry on you. I use golf shoes to walk on for troweling. Good luck 👍🏼
Trying to do this over stamped concrete....Guess I'd have to fill in the depressed parts of the concrete? Maybe a roller would work better in those parts to make it even?
That looks amazing, I am not even close to doing things like this at all, I am little ol me trying to build a 6/18 patio and digging has thrown my shoulder out so forsure not as easy as my Pappy made it look lol, thank you for the video and Hello I am a new subscriber
@@UltraGamma25 sadly I have a husband and he is a gamer lol lets just say if he hss a flat tire, he calls me in panic 🤷♀️ today I had to deal with ac issues as he went to the room complaining its to hot lol it is whatever
I would not try to apply over paint without properly preparing the surface first. Daich has suggestions for surface prep here daichcoatings.com/surface-prep-tips/
The patio turned out absolutely stunning! What color of SpreadRock is it? I’m planning to resurface my patio and would like to copy yours:-) I’ve also been researching about other Daich products like RollerRock, Terazzo, and Spreadstone Decorative concrete resurfacing kit - did you consider those products as well? Thank you!
Thank you. I am about to start this project on my Mom's patio and have been struggling with how large to make the "blocks". Yes, they are artificial and “designed in” with the tape. I really like the way you laid yours out. Approximately what size are the full-size blocks you created with the grout line tape?
I have a so many questions to ask. First, total cost (less tools) and square feet too do your project. Very good job, not too mention a DIYer. How much can I do without help?
You may be able to do everything yourself. Cost will exceed a few hundred to include: materials (crack sealer, self-leveling concrete & prep compound, muriatic acid, primer, SpreadRock, sealer, blue masking tape, paper/plastic for overspray protection); tools (caulking gun, putty knife, deck brush, grinder, concrete grinding wheel, shop vac, dust attachment for grinder, paint roller, squeegee, pool trowel, drill w/paddle mixer, paintbrush, power washer and hose, sprayer, compressor and hose, hopper spray gun); PPE (eye protection, dust mask, ear protection, rubber/latex gloves, leather work gloves, knee pads). Also, you probably won't be satisfied with troweling as it does not achieve the results that you see in Scott's video - plan on a spraying application so you don't spend more on materials from do-overs.
I purchased a gallon of muriatic acid and mix it 10 parts water for one part acid for the etching. I can't remember the brand of the self-leveling concrete. I purchased it at Home Depot, though.
It has almost been a year now since you put this down. How is it holding up? Do you have to reseal it every year? I am thinking of doing my pool deck with this product and am interested in the upkeep maintenance of it after it has been down for a while. Thanks
You did this last fall so wondering how it wintered? I don't know where you are of course. Also, do the chairs being dragged in and out affect the surface? Sure looks great in September. I'll comment again in a couple of years..to see how it held up. That would be a great video. Finished projects always look good..but later not so much. That's a lot of work you went to.
We are in Texas with had an unusually cold winter below zero. The SpreadRock looks the same now as when I applied it. The chairs to not affect the surface. It will stain if you spill something on it, just like concrete will stain. You have to seal it an wash spills off before they stain.
Hi Scott- I have an old ugly concrete patio with wood expansion joints in quite a few places (been there for 20 years). I am afraid to take them out and fill with self leveling concrete. Will the concrete crack if there isn’t an expansion joint in? Thank you! Great video!
I am not an expert on concrete. Just a DIYer. On mine I routed off an inch and then filled it in. It has been 6 months and everything is good, no movement or cracks.
great video Scott, great workmanship!
Thank you for taking the time to carefully explain your patio transformation. I found your video very helpful and inspiring!!! May God Bless you !!!
Wow thats such a good product. You have a good eye to do the lines so straight
I have never heard of this product. I love the look you achieved.
great job, looked actually pretty straight forward. Might consider doing that to a cement pad I have.
Thank you. Just bought a home. Great insight for improving it.
Good job , I purchased speadrock for back yard mine looks fabulous too .
Wow! I have to try this…just bought a house in Arkansas. Thanks for the great demonstration.
Dude... look for someone who has used this and see how it looks in 3 to 5 months depending on the climate you live in.. lots of heat, rain. snow... it's not that good when it comes to lasting...
@@zsavage1820 Thanks…I’ll do that. If it looks too good to be true, it probably is.

Would love ypdate
Yes pls post updates .. mostly i m interested in what you didnot like about the spreadrock
I must admit, it looks great.
Nice job...and direction
Thanks for video, nice to see product in use by a real home owner, helped me get started on my project thanks!
Great job Scott. Thank you so much.
Great product, highly recommend it. My patio is beautiful thanks to you!
Well done, I frequently refer to your video. I may have seen you at Harbor Freight today.. ready to do the acid. Thank you.

Great information Scott. Just the information that I needed.
Here for the patio makeover
This looks FANTASTIC! Thanks for sharing!

I am so doing this. I think patio and the pool deck. Thanks.
@Jackie Apreil what is cool deck?
I’m debating on painting with concrete paint or using this.
Looks beautiful
Great video, thank you sir. Your patio looks great, you have inspire me to get this project started.
Can you tell. Me your square footage and how many gallons of Spread Rock you used. Thank you

Looks like it was planned that way great video

Best demo, thanks!
Great video!
Absolutely love it
You have done a fantastic job looks amazing no wonder your wife is happy lol
Fantastic job!
Looks so easy great job!
Just found you Great job I love this type of RUclips Channel 🙏🏼👍🏻
Looks great ,great job
i have an ugly slab of concrete in my backyard and this would be perfect
I’ve seen that tape used to make faux stone tile with lime stone.
Very nice. I have never seen this. We might need to put it on our patio.
Awesome! Great job. It looks great.
We are adding additional cement patio areas to our existing patio
That is AMAZING!!!! LOVE IT! 👏👏👏👏
Nice project
Nice job thank you for shared this project, love it😊👍
Nice work
Very Cool. I like it.
Wow. That looks like just the solution I need for my patio. How long do you have to wait between coats as I expect I will need to rent the concrete mixer and would like to only have to rent it for a day.
Great job 👍
nice vid Scott thanks..
I used glue for tiles for destroyed layer. Primer are very important in jobs like these
Looks amazing nice job

Trying to do this over stamped concrete....Guess I'd have to fill in the depressed parts of the concrete? Maybe a roller would work better in those parts to make it even?
It doesn't roll on very well. Having just applied SpreadRock, I'd recommend spraying on with a hopper spray gun like Scott did in the video.
Just what iv3 been looking for! Excellent job!👍
What a great job.
Great job & good idea
Looks great 👍
Great job!
Pros?
Cons?
Looks pro. Job well done
Great job.
Good job! Very methodical.
Think you can use this on a wood deck that has plywood on it?
Good job.
Great job !

You could just ask someone to do it for you
@@UltraGamma25 right now everyone charges a crazy price and I don't have anyone to do it, I wish lol
@@whatthetes3303 I think you should find a husband. That's what they're for so you don't have to do all of that stuff on your own.
@@UltraGamma25 sadly I have a husband and he is a gamer lol lets just say if he hss a flat tire, he calls me in panic 🤷♀️ today I had to deal with ac issues as he went to the room complaining its to hot lol it is whatever
@@whatthetes3303 yeah my hubby's the exact same. He has the knowledge but WOW comes first.
Great job, will that work for a driveway? Or will the tires damage it right away?
Really professional looking, just a question: does stains easily come off with a garden hose spray ?
Stains do not easily come off with a garden hose spray, but they do come off using soapy water.
Very Nice!
looks great
Beautiful job. Wish I had seen this video before I painted my patio. Can this be done over paint?
The bond will only be as good as the bond the current coat of paint has... obviously
I would not try to apply over paint without properly preparing the surface first. Daich has suggestions for surface prep here daichcoatings.com/surface-prep-tips/

He mentioned the color is Brownstone in a follow up video
Such a good video. Thanks

Approximately 2' X 3'
Very nice work !! Kudos
Can I use this product for garages?
I wish I knew where to buy this product as I have a swimming pool area I want to redo.
Me too!
Great job
Not available in Hawaii per Home Depot site!

Which acid wash and self leveling concrete did you use?
It came out fantastic! I want to do the same!
I purchased a gallon of muriatic acid and mix it 10 parts water for one part acid for the etching. I can't remember the brand of the self-leveling concrete. I purchased it at Home Depot, though.
Nice job 👍 looks great 👌
Is it rubber?
Is this Medford ok for a driveway kind regards
Great work
It has almost been a year now since you put this down. How is it holding up? Do you have to reseal it every year? I am thinking of doing my pool deck with this product and am interested in the upkeep maintenance of it after it has been down for a while. Thanks
How do you take out the expansion joints? They should be stuck with the concrete right?
Wow, fabulous!
Wondering how your patio project is holding up 3 years later

Nice job, great YT video, patio looks terrific!
Nice.
What made you choose spreadrock instead of rollerrock? Im trying to decide !!!
Isn't taking out the expansion joints dangerous? What happens when it expands?
Looks Great
This looks like you live in Texas? My son just moved there and this looks like his neighborhood? The patio looks great!
He'll love Texas. Born and raised here. 🙂
Most of the neighborhoods look the same in Texas ! Lol. And yes, it’s a great place to live!
