We have a small townhouse and a small patio. Really small, just enough for a 6 person table, a grill, as swing, and some plants. It has a concrete plate split into 6 sections, 3 of which are cracked. I suspect the concrete thing is actually one piece, and these "dividers" don't go all the way down. Around this concrete plate there are some bricks. The bricks are uneven, in some spots water accumulates, etc.
The size is roughly 20'x20'. Wife wants to get some quotes to have a company redo the whole thing. A neighbor did this a few years ago, his patio was a little larger 20'x30' and he paid $6k. Thus I expect quote ot be around $4k. Wife also asked if we should look into those plastic plates they sell at costco, home depot, etc. that you place on top of the existing concrete.
first, I would probably need to add some fill material under those bricks to make it even, then cover the whole area (both concrete and bricks) with this plastic tiles. I would imagine the cost would be more like $1-2k based on what material I choose and if I do the work myself or hire someone.
still, my main concern with this approach is that mold and other bad stuff will grow under these plastic tiles. I really don't want mold.
Any thoughts?
Another thing to consider is that we plan to move in 2-4 years, depending on how things evolve.
