Small, fine concrete crack. Patch or live with them

[theoldwizard1]

Last year my son had a new patio, walkway and driveway poured. It came out nice and he was very happy.

When I was there the other day I noticed that he has a couple of very thin cracks. Is there anyway to patch these without making them look worse with a different color patch material (the concrete is very white from whatever they put on the concrete after the swirl finish).

If the cracks were larger, I would probably use something like Silkaflex.

I wouldn't worry about them personally. Any patch material is going to look different than the finished concrete.

Agree, almost impossible to match repair materials with existing surfaces.

As long as not affecting structurally, leave it be is probably best.

the only thing that might hide the cracks is to use a tile grout perhaps. but if the cracks move or expand, it will crumble out.
