My stamped concrete is not slippery, but we didn't seal it either.
I like the look of the stamped / colored concrete over brushed or exposed agg, but I think some of that has to do with the style of the yard. Someone just put in an exposed agg decking and it looks pretty cool.
I'm glad we didn't go any darker on our decking. It is already just about to hot to walk on when we have a hot day.

First, I followed your build and I have to say your backyard is incredible. It's absolutely stunning.
As for our situation, we have an existing stamped/colored concrete patio that we are incorporating into the pool build. Thing is, the patio is quite slippery when wet....we sealed it. So we were afraid the decking would be just as slippery. Never thought of not sealing it. I like the idea of stamping exposed aggregate...I might as the PB about that option. Definitely going with a light color as our existing patio is a taupe/very light tan color.
thanks
