First use a concrete crack filler sold at hardware and home improvement stores, kind of like piping a cake. Then shop sales for pretty rugs to cover the area.
Hello, repairing the crack is the last thing to do..why did it crack..was water collecting..was it not level, did something heavy crack it - was there filler installed first, if so, does it need raising from the ground level up first, then let it settle and when whole area dry, then repair with concrete - however, if this is an old patio, and you don't know how it was installed..sometimes they just put them down on the soil...and roots growing underneath disrupt the water drainage...there is another alternative..clean out the cracks assuming there are many...poke holes with a metal skrewer in as far as you can..leave them exposed..this will encourage air and rain water to infiltrate....put in just a tiny bit of topsoil in these cracks and sprinkle ground cover seeds - gently mist in with your hand held hose applicator....I personally like Lemon Thyme..or something even shorter..check out the greenhouses or the web..anything with a citrus odour will repel insects making it a win win for you and your family...many even have blossoms.....after one season it will look quite purposeful...and you may find yourself adding a crack or two ....R
Totally agree with the Rozmund. You can also stain the concrete to make it more naturally aged so the 'flaws' become 'beauty marks'.
You can fill the cracks if you want but my first priority would be to figure out if there is a reason that it's happening that need to be dealt with..
UPVC Boarding/ Makes a nice easy clean ceiling.
Underpin the corner that is sinking (Shore it up)! Then cover it with seconhand covering or just Paint it with Floor Paint for garages.
If you just want to hide the cracks a throw or area rug. You could even use a floor cloth. Wait is this in the elements or under a roof of some sort?
We patched our cracks with a Home Depot patch product and then painted the concrete. Fixed any tripping hazards and looked pretty. However, if that's beyond your DIY skills or desire, I would get a large indoor outdoor carpet and cover the area.
Fill the craks and then paint them a bright colour to give it a designer look.
You can buy concrete patch to repair the cracks.
Repair the cracks with a concrete repair patch-Lowes or Home Depot, the 1/4" is not too dramatic a drop and probably not a tripping hazard at this point. Patios crack for any variety of reasons, as mentioned by other Hometalkers. If you like, bring in professionals and have them determine the cause of the cracks and get free estimates. Otherwise just adapt with a crack filler.
Hello, if you want ti hide the crack you can out an outdoor carpet over it. You will want to see if you can repair the cracks there so they don't worsen first though.
