Reparing someone else's mistake

[LoosingMyMind]

Okay so i have an uneven concrete slab in our yard that was made by professionals, imagine that. With that being said i'm trying to apply overlay since i don't trust companies anymore. This is all new to me so please give me any detailed help on where to begin, what materials to use etc. I would really appreciate every answer

Are you already skilled enough to DIY? If you're confident, reply here and I'll give you a guide via direct message. Otherwise, why? You'd hate spending a couple more cash just because you tried something you really shouldn't have.

If you're doing it yourself, good on you, your cross to bear but please don't half step it. First, clean the slab like your life depends on it, pressure wash, degrease, whatever it takes cos the surface should be as bare and solid as possible, then... check for cracks and fill them with a proper concrete repair caulk. Next, you'll need a bonding primer, people skip this sometimes but please dont be like people or your overlay will flake off in a month. For materials, look into polymer modified overlay mixes like Ardex or Quikrete's resurfacer. You'll need a mixing paddle, a trowel, and some decent knee pads unless you want to curse life halfway through. post credit: don't let it dry too fast

That's... wow. I have no words. How do they call themselves pros if they left you with a lumpy slab? Salute for taking matters into your own hands. @Hallowed.space gave a quick and easy tutorial right here. Quikrete is my bet though.
