Deborah, have you considered painting it? I would get a pressure cleaning attachment for the hose and clean it that way first, then paint and seal it. There are a great number of ideas to do this, this is for a garage floor, but I think it would make a great looking front porch also. There are also painted like stone front porches, rugs painted on porches etc. I have chosen one for you: https://www.hometalk.com/diy/outdoor/garage/material-of-the-week-rustoleum-garage-floor-kits-36456756
