The mortar in the brick walls in the front of my house has become old and in some places has crumbled, or turned to concrete dust. It there a product I can fill these areas in with? I am somewhat handy but the thought of mixing concrete may be over my head. Something already prepared would be great - if such a thing exists. Any advice would be greatly appeciated!
Thanks :)

At your Home Center they will have bags of Premixed Mortar. I would recommend a Type "S" Mortar mix it will be a higher grade material and should be last longer and repel the moisture better.

If you have any more questions feel free to fire away?

Thanks for the speedy reply! I am off to Reno depot to search for premixed mortar. :)
