Modern finishes for new homes
A modern house doesn't need to look like old slate. A smooth colored slab with deep saw cuts in a large grid looks clean, and it costs less than full stamping. Wood-plank stamping can also suit a contemporary home, particularly in a warm gray. See decorative concrete for what's possible.
If you've bought a new home with a small courtyard, ask about the fill first. Ground that was recently dug often keeps settling for several years, and a thick, steel-reinforced slab will handle it better.
If you're in a condo or a townhome association, get its approval before you change any shared or street-facing surface. Common walls and shared drains need care, as water from your new slab shouldn't end up in your neighbor's unit. On a busy street, deliveries take planning, and a pump truck may need a permit to stand in the road. A dark charcoal slab can look striking, but small courtyards get hot in summer, so test the color first.
