Epoxy finish on your concrete patio will keep the dust down, result in the concrete being less porous, and it will be easy to keep clean simply by hosing it. The finish is applied the same way as garage floor coatings, with a long handled roller. You can purchase kits especially for patios, and they are available in some colors. I have seen only solid colors though; as far as I know there is no finish to mimic wood.
Hi, Stephanie is right, there is no finish to mimic wood, but you could use a graining tool you rock back and forth or as I have done before, use the paint colour of the base of wood you want first and then use a darker shade of same colour, by adding a bit of black, and using a stiff dry brush to resemble the grain apply in long strokes . Then seal you finished floor. Good luck!
