    2 inches per 10 feet on stamp. I go 1 inch per 10 feet on broom finish. Or just s bit more.
  • 1/4 inch per foot Max on patios. 1/8 inch per foot minimum. Heavy textures need 1/6 or more. I like1/6. This is for stamped. Set of steps down a hill should run with these slopes as well to look right. 1/2.5 Max if needed. Sidewalks look fine at handicap slope or even more....

    The initial builder of my house laid down a mean slope as well. Just wish he did it away from the house instead of towards it.
  • The handicap reference you said 12” in 10ft but it’s 10”. We forgive you though. Lol
