Change color of concrete. My concrete was dyed pink when pour and has many stains, plus original pad was left plain color. It’s the main walkway to rest of backyard, including steps to front yard.

    Use concrete stain. Paint will just fade and chip away.

    You can apply a concrete stain after it has been cleaned well. Use a pump garden sprayer to apply. Don't get to close with the sprayer and you'll get a nice "mottled" look or if you want a solid look get the sprayer closer and apply multiple coats. Clear seal it well after you get it how you want it to stay.

    Go to brick-red or black, which ever goes with your house and roof. ☺️
