Concrete plans

Backyard, Exterior, Planning

Originally I was thinking that I would resurface the ~400sq.ft concrete patio with stamped concrete to look like bluestone.  I had someone come out to give me a bid, but it came out to $5,000.  If this was a permanent solution, I might be more open to that, but since that’s not the case, I wanted to find a more cost-effective solution.

We looked at several options including:

I love the look of this!  So… I think this is going to be the new plan. We actually had rented a concrete grinder for the day to start the patching process, but didn’t use it since now we need to actually rent a jackhammer to widen some of the existing cracks and create new ones.  We’ll see how this turns out!
