The only real way to fix it is to dig it out and replace it. The original concrete is of poor, aka cheap, concrete and anything you do to "fix" the problem wont work as the weak concrete is going to keep crumbling, I'm 76 and been in the business a long time. When concrete is mixed too thin for easy working, this happens.
Hi Leah! I love your idea with the painted vines but I would hate for you to waste your time & effort if it's going to be tore up eventually. Maybe you could buy a colorful outdoor rug to cover the space. Add some colorful flower pots & some chairs and you would have an amazing space. Good luck!
Maybe plant some moss or succulents in the cracks to make a more "natural" walkway. Ask your local nursery which are best for your area. There are quite a few that are resilient enough to walk on.
Sometimes you just have to replace things. It will be a job but, you will really enjoy a new safe walk way. Please remember to remove roots if you do it your self, they will destroy concrete.
use some clear silicone and some different colored crushed glass (think old beer bottles or wine bottles). It will add sparkle and color
Thanks for the suggestions guys....I never thought about the rug! I like the idea of the moss or succulents and crushed glass too.
there are a number of companies that have roll on texture paint for walkways. If you want to get really creative, you can tape off with painters tape and make like tiles.
