We've been in our house 10 years or so, and the aggregate patio and sidewalks are starting to show. We did an add on a couple of years ago and so the older concrete is really the problem. Have searched online for "how to patch aggregate and match texture and color" but the videos and solutions are all over the place.

Any advice for getting cracks and rounder, deeper defects to blend in with one of the epoxy patch products? Looks like I'm going to have to get some aggregate pebbles and maybe some silica sand or concrete sand. Would really like to do this so the patches blend in as much as possible. Can't get the concrete sub or my homebuilder to help patch these (I'm sure it's not worth their time).

Thanks and Gig'em.

I have similar issue. After googling for a bit, I purchased this kit. But I just have no gotten around to using it. Seems to be the right solution, just cannot testify as to ease of use and how it holds up.

When googling, this type of finish is referred to as "washed aggregate", "exposed aggregate" and "Chattahoochee". I had never heard of the last one in Texas but have heard if more in the mid south areas.

Find some small rocks that look similar and fill holes with cement and place rocks on top, let dry

Buy a bag of cement at Home Depot and mix in a cup

You could use sack Crete but you will have to brush the cement off to expose the aggregates after it sets a little.
