I covered small cracks on a cement patio with a thin coating of "top and bond" ready mix cement patch and it has held up well.It didn't match the surface texture but you can't see the cracks.
OP, you are doing to your home patio what we have been debating on doing to ours. Here is my opinion. We have just about decided to tear out the old pation, and use nice pavers, because our house is 100 yrs old, and I think will lend itself nicely to the pavers w/ the greenery growing in between. We have also discussed tearing out, and pouring new pad. However we cannot afford that, so really diy is what we are thinking. My husband and I have both rehabbed old homes before, so while I am not looking forward to rehabbing as much, a patio is not a huge endeavor. I like a stamped, painted pation, and if I were you I would go for the completely new patio, you definitely don't want the cheapest guy. About the issue of siding, I would never close off siding, logic will tell you the house breathes and moisture is not something to close in, imo. Love to see some pics, enjoy your new patio. And, here is how my daughter did theirs. Her husband did all the prep work, rebar etc, (saved tons) then the folks poured, and stamped/stained it. It looks awesome.
I have a large patio that has been down for years. There are cracks. I would like to know if there is a hard acrylic that can be poured over it. Someone told me that there was a product that would be so hard over the concrete and could look like marble when it is finished. Thanks, Debbie
Bought my granddaughter a a new garden swing with large pegs to put in the ground and set in concrete, one year later the top of the pegs have come loose, the rest of the pegs are still set, so now i have a swing that move, anyone know how i can fix this without having to dig the whole lot out, because i cannot psychically do this now, any help would be appreciated, i have managed to put the pegs back in the holes but it is set above ground!!!!!

Can I pour a few inches on existing patio?
