Stamped Concrete, Anyone have any experience ?

[tonray]

At some point I want to get rid of my crappy, weed strewn lawn and essentually 'xeriscape' it....low water plants in pots and loads of stone/paver/etc. The goal is to lower maintenace as I don't mind cariing for potted plants but I detest cutting the grass and trimming tropical shrub foliage that seems to grow inches overnight.

 

The real question is whether it's feasible to use a stamped concrete system vs using pavers once the lawn has been torn up ? 

 

Any experiences would be welcome. Thanks in advance.

if large area, expect cracks in the SC
personally i would not use SC again due to cracks that come after a year or so
