Topic: Stamped Concrete Patio Photos/Videos (updated)

Date of Work: October 2021 through June 2022

Cost: Over $105,000

Brief Description: The 2 main issues are cracking and pitting. With the cracking issue divided between cracks in the steps, edges and ledge, vs. cracks throughout the flat areas which started out very fine, but are now joining together to cause larger sections of damage to stamped areas.


Legend:
  Yellow tape on blue indicates cracks developed in 2022 and originally reported to contractor
  Blue tape indicates cracks that developed or expanded in 2023/2024
  Orange tape on blue are new cracks that developed in 2025. As seen in the video, there are now so many, it became impossible to mark them all as they continue to grow in number, or join together to form larger cracks.



Cracks:
While some of the steps video may be seem repetitive or overlapping, for the most part these are all individual cracks, as I am walking north and covering about 250 linear feet of steps.
It also seems many cracks from the lower step are roughly lining up with cracks in the upper step.

    01. 1st and middle step starting at bilco door moving north
    02. 1st and middle step continuing north toward curve
    03. 1st and middle step around curve and toward house

    04. around pool from entrance walking CC south

    05. walking from rock garden toward walkway

    06. top step around rear deck from bilco around curve and west to house

    07. Small cracks that joined together to make bigger cracks, and then corrupted the entire surface. Here are just a few examples, but this is pretty much everywhere.
