We are planning a little "backyard upgrade" this spring/summer, and I have an existing concrete patio slab that is posing a bit of an issue. It's currently just broom-finished concrete, dirty in places, and I want to make it look nicer and coordinate with new pavers/rock/stamped concrete. It is poured all the way up to the door jamb level, so I can't add any thickness.
Does anyone have experience grinding down a slab like this so I can either coat it with Cool Decking or a fresh layer of concrete that can be colored or stamped (maybe in a plank-esque pattern)? Alternatively, I don't know if it could be taken down enough to maybe lay tile? I don't want it to be too slippery. Any other ideas are certainly welcome.
