There is an L-shaped path round the back of the house, with a 3m-sq square outside the patio doors. It was a put down when the house was built, maybe 20 years ago. It has settled a bit and slopes towards the house enough for water and dirt to settle. There is a crack half way along the path bit.
I would like it raised by about 100mm with a fall away from the house, and possibly a raised step outside the patio door, where the threshold dpc is 4 courses above the path (the dpc is otherwise 3 courses or more above, depending on the settlement).
I have in mind paving slabs set on wet s&c, with the joints grouted with one of those squirty things, or I was wondering about casting more concrete on top with a brushed finish, and a joint over the existing crack.
Any reason why one would be better than the other?
here it is
