Probably the simplest plan would be scrub it with an abrasive pad.... The Best way would probably be sandblastin' it.... clean up, 'n damage control issues aside...

We bought the house with the stamped patio. Then we needed a new pad put in and they could not match the color, so they painted the entire patio. What do we do now?

There are specific products for painting patios which are typically a kind of epoxy coating designed to stand up to heavy use and weather. Do you know what product they actually used? __________________ Home Renovations & Repairs To view links or images in signatures your post count must be 10 or greater. You currently have 0 posts.
