Concrete color

[Bamacruiser98]

Any ideas on how to get new concrete to match the step’s sand like color? I’m finishing up a paint job but the nice lady that owns the house wants these cracks filled and I’d like to match it the best I can. I’ll be chipping out all this gray concrete. It’ll crack again in the future but she just wants it to look better.

When we had our driveway done, they were able to color the concrete. Our driveway is almost that same color as those steps. What I am not sure of is how they colored it, but it might be an idea to stop by a concrete plant and inquire.

Ok thank you, I found some stuff that goes into the mix so maybe that’ll cut it.

Disregard this post. I figured it out

Around here, you can buy pre-mix bags of motar in a bunch of colors. I had to go to a landscape supply place.

It's going to crack, just like that unsupported concrete.. Doesn't contain aggregate, but you can add it and then you have "colored concrete".

Or dye the concrete, but you'll have to get pretty accurate about measuring dye between mixes.

Cleaning all that dirty rock will make it look better also.
