I Hate My Sandwash In My Back And Front Yard, What Do You Use?

[oakweb]

I need some help deciding on what to replace my sandwash with. I really hate how it sucks up dog pea and ever other stain, and I'm wanting something that looks nicer too.

So far my options were the following:

Stamped concrete - I heard about cracks on this, and also how it looks worse over time.

Tiling - To me it looks funny, tiling next to the pool and outside. But if there are some good tiles I'm up for it.

Sandstone - I'm just starting to look into this now, I've seen some really nice pictures of Sandstone backyards on the Internet, but who knows what I can find over here.

I'm hoping for some pics of others backyard coverings and suggestions, and maybe someone knows of a great Home Pro type store that has installers and a great selection.

Yeah, sandwash is for driveways and garage floors, highpressurewash but never really clean and a gum is there forever

sand stone sucks up just as much redwine and dog pee but is nice as a non slippery pool edge

the rest, tiles

not slippery, not nonslippery as to hard to keep clean, so semi slippery. Not to light in color as all wet footsteps visible, not to dark as to hot. Have tryed them all

and present solution as pictured works fine

I have stamped concrete and I am very happy with it.

Thanks guys for the pics, I think I'll check out Bangkok supplies to see if I can find anything newly arrived.

Stone chips does for me.

Like the wheelchair ramp but is it slippery?

Actually it is not, but having said that, normal precautions are recommended as the ramp is a sloping surface.
