Slightly sloping concrete garden path

Flamingo_2

Hi,
2014 is the year we're hoping to move house, but first of all we need to do a bit of sprucing up of our current house. We want to enhance the 'curb appeal' to the front & that includes re doing the path that runs from the pavement to our front door.

Funds are pretty tight so we want to do as much as possible ourselves.

The path is about 14ft long, concrete (which now looks pretty scruffy, with chunks missing) and slopes slightly.

Any advice on how we'd go about re-surfacing the concrete? We're concerned about the slope & preventing the concrete running down & gathering in a lump at the base of the path!

Any advice would be great - thanks in advance

Assuming you are using ready mix , tell the supplier about the slope and they will deliver a mix with correct "slump". You should receive a drier mix which will be less likely to flow downhill.
I imagine that you know what is involved in breaking out the existing stuff and getting it removed.

Thanks Tony - very informative & helpful. Hubby knows about preparing the area etc but was just concerned about the slope. Thanks again.
