Matt Allums of Chattahoochee River Rock (352-253-0622). We have about 1,100 sq ft of lanai and they power washed one day and spent 6 hours installing the river rock the next day. It does require a sealer every couple of years, about $250, which helps keep it sealed and colors sharp.

If you tend to go barefoot on your lanai, you might want to check how the river rock feels on your barefeet. I admit it does look nice----wife (who is a barefoot person around the house) didn't like the feel but then others might. No problem if you wear shoes around the house like me! As mentioned previously, we ended up stain with a tile pattern which looks very nice.

they are put in with special calking in a regular calking gun, if handy can be a DIY or a contractor can't cost that much or as much as a tile job.

Holy cow, that looks SUPER!! I love that! Where did you get those, who installed them, and can they be used in a screened lanai? And can I shamelessly copy?
