How to cover up concrete patching on walkway

[cgott42]

Please see the attached picture and the concrete patches around the outside of the pool.
I'm looking to sell my house - what's the least expensive way to make that area more attractive? Paint (if so- how - does the pool water dripping on it from people's feet ruin it)? or another idea? Also want to make sure that whatever I put on doesn't make it slippery for people to fall
thx

In order to get maximum resale value, I would power wash the entire deck area. It will take a lot of time but will look amazing when it's finished.

Then paint it all with an epoxy paint....possibly best done by an experienced professional.

I'm not sure what the previous owner used but my pool deck is epoxy gray painted
and it looks fantastic. No bubbling occurred anywhere, it just needs a little touch up here and there
in it's current state

I let diluted bleach (50/50 water bleach mix) soak on my concrete deck and then power wash... it goes much faster. I use a standard 1 gallon garden sprayer to apply the diluted bleach. Shaded/dirty areas may need multiple passes of bleach/power washing.

I ended up buying this paint
and the Valspar CONCRETE BONDING PRIMER (non online link)

I just got done this evening looking at a YouTube on resurfacing concrete driveway. There was also one on stenciling on a pattern of rock. (Our pattern is brick.)

Here's a pick after first coat of paint. Looks great except now I see that the cement edge of the pool clashes with the sand colored deck. What paint and color would you recommend for that? Also, any inexpensive ideas to hide the one crack that still sticks out (see 2nd pic)

I don't have any suggestions regarding color, however, I strongly suggest getting a good test kit and SLAM that pool. It might take some time to get it clean and green-free!

We recommend the TF-100 because it is a great value: TFTestkits.net
