I might consider just wetting it a lot and let the sun bleach it out. This time of year shouldn’t take long.
Did you stain it?
I might try pouring bleach on it and letting it sit in the sun.
Be patient - it will fade in the sun.
Think it's awesome as it is!
There is always the chance a power washer could remove some of it. They seem to be very effective on everything I use them on.
I think you better contact the stain manufacturer on that one. My neighbor used a stain sealer on her concrete patio and yo be honest with you it looks permanent. Are the cap stones glued down? If not you might want to think about replacing the caps. Sorry for yiur trouble I wish I had a better answer.,
How was it applied? If this is straight stain naptha might remove it. You can get it at home depot. But wear gloves long sleeves long pants and eye protectors. You should be able to use a heavy duty brush a couple of them. Follow directions and do not use water. Do not use a wire brush also.
If naptha doesn't work then go to paint store and get the exact color it was. You will have to do a wash over it. 1/2 cup of water to 1/8 cup of paint. Apply with smooth rag quickly. The faster you go the better it will come out. Do not try to be precise then it won't look natural
