Can I put lawn grass mulch over a large crack in front patio?

I was always told you can not just put new cement over old cement because there is no bonding agent in cement. Try adding the mulch or flowers to cover the damage. https://youtu.be/zGdK7-aVhIk

I don't know how large the crack is but you can buy cement repair in a caulking tube at Home Depot.

Hi Sue,

This might be a solution to your problem, they are called Stepables, they fill in cracks and tolerate traffic:

I think I would fill it, Sue, and if you still don't like the look, put an outdoor rug over it or paint a rug on it.

Sue: once again, I agree with Ann... those are your best options

I agree that an outdoor rug would be best for covering the crack until it can properly be fixed.

You can purchase crack repair products within your stated budget. Bring a photo of the crack with you to your local home improvement store and ask for guidance there.

Hi Sue, I suggest you repair the crack as they often get larger in time. Here's a video that shows a product that you might use and instructions on how to do the repair. Not sure how large the crack is on your patio, but this is something to consider and well within your budget. Hope this is useful.

Hi Sue, I would recommend cleaning the crack out thoroughly and filling it with a cement filler. You can purchase the fillers for a fairly low price, hope this video instruction helps you out.

You can add concrete but make sure the existing is clean and there is no debris. Most of the time, to get it to adhere you need to score the original concrete but since it is cracked, it should adhere fine. They also make a few products. Check this one out:

I think repairing the crack is the better method. Good luck and stay safe!
