For safe footing, a concrete walkway should be smooth and level. A hole or crack in concrete makes it a likely place where you or a passerby can trip or fall. Don’t ignore the damage that will only become worse; repairing it sooner rather than later is a good idea. If it’s ignored, the surface will continue to deteriorate. You can hire a handyman to make the repair, but even a wannabe or fledgling do-it-yourselfer can fix the damage using specialty products designed for the job.
A handyman will charge $167, which includes labor and material, to fix small holes and a good-sized crack in concrete. You can buy the materials—pourable crack filler, backer rod, and concrete patching material—for $80 and do it yourself and save 52 percent.
