Rock Staining

Rock Staining

Restoring and coloring faux rock, boulders and water features so they read as natural stone again.

Rock staining

So the rock and the deck belong together

Artificial rock around pools and water features sits in full sun for years and goes flat and patchy. It is rarely noticed until the deck beside it gets resurfaced — and then the tired rock is the first thing anyone looks at.

We recolor rock features and waterfalls to match the deck around them, working in several tones rather than laying one flat color across the whole thing. Done at the same time as the deck, the color can be matched on site instead of guessed at afterwards.

What's included

  • Rock features and waterfalls recolored to match the surrounding deck
  • Faded and sun-bleached artificial rock brought back
  • Color blended across several tones rather than painted flat
  • Done alongside deck resurfacing so the two finishes are matched on site
  • Our own crews, no subcontracting

Rock Staining questions

What is rock staining for?

Artificial rock features and waterfalls fade and go patchy in the sun, and once the deck around them is refinished the mismatch is obvious. Staining brings the rock back and ties it to the new deck color.

Will it look painted?

It should not. The point is to work in several tones the way real rock is colored, rather than laying one flat color over the whole feature.

Can you match it to a deck you are already doing?

That is the usual way it happens, and it is the best time to do it — the deck color is being chosen right there on site, so the rock can be matched to it directly rather than guessed at later.
