EXTERIOR: SECOND PLACE:
Surface Design, based in Walnut Creek, Calif., for restoration of front house steps in Oakland, Calif.
IN THE WORDS OF: Dan Koloski, Surface Design
This is troweled texture with a scored-in fl agstone pattern. I used
a picture of a Brickform Flagstone stamp from the catalog as a

up” material to blend out the drop-off and create good drainage
for the patio. The customer was very particular about the design
elements of pattern, texture and color, and we had to make 10
or so sample boards in the course of choosing the design.
