How so you take a concrete slab to a nice interior concrete floor?

We have in-floor radiant heating. The slab is the bottom floor of our home, which will be garage and apartment. We are interested in finishing the apartment floor to be a light grey concrete floor that looks nice. The concrete was poured 8 months ago, and we are noticing some divots. We live on a remote island with no specific concrete flooring experts, and I'm having trouble locating a large diamond grinder.
