Do you think I could get away with buying a bag of white cement,
mixing it

with a lot of water and some yellow colourant, and then doing a
cement wash?


Or can you only do cement washes on walls?
The area I'm doing is in a front garden and only gets occasional foot
traffic.


It would work. Temporarily. I'd lay the bulk in grey, and a top layer
with white. Lay the 2nd before the 1st is fully set and they'll bond
as one.


Thanks for this. What thickness would I need for the top layer?
