I am going to add a new portion of concrete to my patio and I want to "stamp" a pattern in it. First what is it called and what do I need to do it with? Anyone out there know what I'm trying to get at?

Last I heard, it was called stamped concrete. But I don't remember what the tool is called that you use to do it.
Call a concrete company & ask!

jana, I did my own stamped concrete. I used a decorative iron piece (the ones they have for your front door step) When they laid the concrete, I tied two strings on the iron piece and lowered it down then pressed on it. I did it in the corners and the center. It came out great. Not sure if you've already had your concrete put down.

this is how they stamped our patio. I included a sample of how it can turn out.
