How to Stain a Concrete Patio
From the blogger: "Is your concrete patio looking worn and tired? Looking to update it, but not looking to spend thousands of dollars to do so? No problem, rejuvenating it is easier than you think. A little stain will perk that patio right up. Staining concrete is no different than staining wood. After a little cleaning and a little bit of prep to protect the surrounding areas, just roll the stain on and presto, chango...your patio will be as good as new."
