How to neaten and protect a concrete patio edge?

Hey all, I have poured a very small extension to my old patio as my daughter was diagnosed with a disability that will require a wheelchair and therefore we needed more room for her to turn before entering the house. The slab sits approx 80-100mm above the grass level and we are getting ready to tile it.

 

I was wondering what to do with the vertical concrete of the slab to make it look less rough. The tiles will have a black l angle to protect them. The concrete is ok, but obviously not super clean and it would be nice to not have a rough edge leading into the house as it will look messy.

 

I'd rather not build up the grass level as it would mean a small hill for my daughter to get up in her chair - I was pondering maybe using aluminum to edge the whole pad?

 

Thanks

 

Ben

Hi @GingerNinja,

 

We'd be happy to help. Could we trouble you for a photo so members can see what you are working with?

 

The dimensions might be handy too as there might be an existing product that @EricL could recommend. 

 

Thanks,

 

Jason

Hi @GingerNinja 

 

A photo of the concrete patio will definitely help our members assess its condition. We can then make recommendations on how to neaten its appearance.   

 

If you need a hand posting the photo, please let me know.
