This is my first post. Hope I'm in the right thread. I have an old concrete path that needs patching up. The house is about 100 years old and was built by the council. The concrete has tiny stones or aggregate in it that show through at the surface. Does anyone know how to create this? I've added a pic. Thanks.

Try and find an aggregate that matches, mix that up with some soft sand and cement & patch.

Once done, you'll need to artificially age it, a soft brush after 24 hours should clean most of the surface cement off and expose the aggregate

Also, if it has algae, put some natural yoghurt on the new stuff to accelerate the coverage over ned concrete
 
Thanks for the reply. I will attempt it before the cold weather comes.
