Hello! I have two long cracks on my back patio (1/2 to 1 inch wide) and I am wondering how to fix them. They have been here since I purchased the house 20 years ago, they've gotten a bit wider but basically the same. I am on a budget, so looking for low cost solutions. Some ideas I read about are Quickcrete, backer rods/sealant, or polymeric sand. I was thinking it would be nice to try to fix it with added pebbles on top so that I can stain the whole area, but sand also sounds like a quick fix. It does not normally freeze here, but it does have a wide range of temperatures and medium rain. If anyone has suggestions, please let me know. Kids growing up so finally taking care of lots of needed repairs. Thank you!
