Ways to Enhance Your Concrete Patio

Do you already have a plain gray concrete patio that's in good condition but not very exciting to look at? You don't need to rip it out and start over to upgrade its appearance. There are several ways to give existing concrete more color and eye appeal.

Warm up the color by applying a stain.

Resurfacing. You can have your concrete resurfaced with a resin-modified cementitious overlay that simulates brick, stone, tile or slate. But first, consult a professional to determine if your patio can be resurfaced successfully. If the concrete is in bad shape, with lots of cracks or settlement, resurfacing may not be a viable option.
