Smooth out patio surface

[fixit7]

I would like to smooth out the surface of my patio.

I think that sea sea sheels were used instead of small rocks in the concrete.

And the acid rain produced the indentations in the concrete.

Is there a way to smooth out my patio?

Vielen Dank,

Andy

Different solutions for different geo. areas.

Go ahead, pick one.

Post some pics, and I think YOU KNOW we like pics, we can’t give advice without good info.

There are several good concrete topping compounds that can restore a patio.
Some are only good for up to about 1/2 inch repair, others about an inch or so.
They usually need some prep work first, and then a bonding coat applied over the old patio.

Nothing will stick to loose junk and dirt and dust.

No topcoats are as solid as the patio was when new, but they are ok to extend the life maybe 5-10 years before finally doing a full demo and bust it all out.

I will not need it to last many years.

Another 5 or so would be good.

I could not find out how many sq. ft. of coverage.

The Quickcrete does show coverage.

I have 100 sq. ft, but only about half needs touching up.

But will do whole thing to make it look better.

You will need to resurface all of it, the old color will never match up.

Call the manufacturer for info on coverage or any other questions.

Watch the videos.
