Hey Tim great video! We do a similar method, our mixes use acryllic binder for an excellent bond. Theres oxides you can get to change the concrete to any colour. Quite beautiful! It's all troweled on, theres a certain technique you can do with the trowel to give it a textured finished, looks exactly like natural stone! Anyways wanted to share these methods are quite rare but are super underrated!

Would finishing a patio with something like this provide additional anti-cracking protection? I have a 3 slab patio, who slabs are sloping in. I'm researching leveling options. If I poured concrete (2 inches thick at lowest point, and feathered it out till its even, would doing something like this on top reduce the liklihood the poured concrete would crack of crumble at the thinner points? Looks great, would love to do it, but cant pay $2800 to lift 2 10 foot slabs a few inches..
