refinish patio
Hello,
I just got some concrete work at my house. New steps and some walk way.
I want to finish up the front now with some new railings and stuff on my patio. But before I install the railings I have to refinish the patio pad.
The pad had some of that outdoor carpet on it before which I was not a fan off. I got most of it off. I may have to use a grinder or a wire brush to get some of the bits of glue and pieces of carpet off.
The question is what would be a cost effective (cheap) way to refinish it and make it look half decent? Looking for ideas here. I contemplating some tile or something but not sure I want to spend that much. Maybe some of that textured paint?
What have you guys done? Pics would be great too.
Thanks

Why in the world are the steps not even lined up with the railing opening?
By having that pored in the middle like that there's going to be far less area to put patio furniture.

Another link with the parging done
After 30 years there is no cracks... Just a bit of glue and carpet I got to try and use a wire brush to strip
