Saw-cut score pattern

Not a finish so much as a drawing. Cutting the slab on a deliberate grid controls where it cracks and turns a field of concrete into a composition, for the cost of a morning with a saw.

Essential cost band

The workhorse option. Does the job, lasts, and is what most of a yard is made of.

Colour families

  • Natural grey
  • Integral tan

Families, not products. The exact colour gets chosen off a physical sample against your house.

What is true of this material

Does
Puts the crack where you drew it instead of where it wants to go
Layout
Should be on the drawing, not decided by the saw operator
Cost
Almost nothing relative to what it changes
