I have a substance similar to Pebble Tech on my patio cement surface want remove it tried using strong pressure washer but that did not work How do the pebbles and epoxy resin?

Pebble pool surfaces are applied using a process called "pebblecrete." Pebblecrete is a mixture of cement, sand, and pebbles that is applied to a concrete pool surface. The pebbles are first mixed with the cement and sand, then the mixture is poured onto the pool surface. The mixture is then spread evenly and smoothed out.

The mixture containing the epoxy resin is then poured onto the surface and allowed to dry.

This process creates a durable, slip-resistant surface that is also aesthetically pleasing.

Removing pebblecrete

Removing pebblecrete can be a difficult and time-consuming process. The best way to remove pebblecrete is to use a combination of methods.

* Chemical stripper: A chemical stripper can be used to dissolve the epoxy resin that binds the pebbles to the cement. The stripper should be applied to the surface of the pebblecrete and allowed to sit for the recommended amount of time. Once the stripper has had time to work, the pebbles can be removed using a pressure washer.

* Pressure washer: A pressure washer can be used to remove the pebbles from the cement. The pressure washer should be set on the highest setting and used to blast the pebbles away. It may be necessary to use a chipping hammer or other tool to break up the pebbles before pressure washing them away.

* Scarifier: A scarifier is a machine that can be used to remove the pebblecrete from the cement surface. The scarifier uses a rotating blade to scrape away the pebblecrete. Scarifiers are available in different sizes, and the size of the scarifier that is needed will depend on the size of the area that is being removed.

Once the pebblecrete has been removed, the cement surface will need to be repaired. This can be done using a variety of materials, such as concrete patch, mortar, or epoxy.

Removing pebblecrete can be a difficult and time-consuming process, but it is possible to do it yourself with the right tools and materials.
