Changing Color Of Lanscape Blocks?


Most likely just wishful thinking, but the wive is not happy with the reddish pink landscape block the previous owner used for a small retaining wall. She wants to replace it with grey. I was just wondering if it would be possible to spray a concrete stain on it and change the color? There are around 300 of them so replacing is not a cheap or easy fix. Any ideas??

Yes. Witch one you want to hear? You can spray, brush, sponge and wash if your wife don't like the results. When you get what she likes - seal it.
