Should I be thinking stamped and stained

I've seen some very nice stamped concrete (pads, driveways and walks).
Different patterns, etc. They ad a dye in the mix so the colors can
vary, depending on what you want. The stamped pad will give better
traction when wet (ime).

Youtude has some videos about staining - it can wear off and need
future care.
