Other surface products Vs. Pebble Stone Coatings’ Epoxy Rock
Pavers
- MRequires sealing and sanding yearly to avoid oil, tire marks staining.
- MPavers tend to lose color over time.
- MWeeds can grow between the pavers and if not regularly sanded and sealed, will become uneven and loose.
Pebble Stone Coatings
- NBecause we use natural stone, the color stays with the stone, and any stains simply sit on the surface and aren't absorbed into the stone.
- NDebris on top of the stone can easily be removed with household cleansers such as diluted Dawn dish detergent.
Stamped
- MRequires sealing and recoloring every 2 years to keep the surface durable, hard to match if damaged.
- MStamp styles go out of style.
- MVery slippery when wet, water puddles dry and leave water rings. Surface will always look dirty even with a slight amount of dust on it.
Pebble Stone Coatings
- NPebble Stone keeps its natural color year after year, its maintenance is only once every 3 years and its repairability makes it easier to maintain than stamped.
- NIts porous nature doesn’t allow puddling.
Stained
- MThe product causes concrete to be slippery when wet.
- MIt has no renewable warranty features.
- MStaining from the concrete can come up thru the surface.

Kool Deck / Spray Deck

Cracked / Uneven Concrete
- M Plain concrete not only detracts from the appearance of the house, it absorbs oil and stain as well as letting the grass grow in spaces.
Pebble Stone Coatings
- NPebble Stone Coatings is poured in place, we can adjust the height differences to help level out the surface.
- NEach Pebble Stone is completely sealed with epoxy which allows dirt to sit on the surface and can easily be washed off or power washed up to 2000 psi with a fan tip.
Ceramic Tile
- MVery slippery when wet.
- MDoes not allow for expansion joint movement. Rarely fits properly on top of concrete and edges will easily crack.
