My front porch and steps are made of concrete. Water from the lawn

so on a warm day. But when it's more or less dry, it's greener and greener,
apparently from algae forming.

Is it possible to "refinish" the top of a concrete step in a manner both
practical and aesthetically pleasing? If it's hundreds of dollars, I'll
live with the "moss." But if there's a cheap and effective remedy, I'd love
to know about it.

Just leave it. In a perfect world all concrete would drain correctly. I
would not put a coating on it, as it will look well, coated. I would
not saw cut it either, this won't look right either. Just adjust your
sprinklers and bleach it when it gets bad.
