Warm Up Your Patio! A properly outfitted patio can be an amazing addition to any home. Along with patio furniture and a grill, you will want to purchase a metal fire pit in order to get the most from your deck. Imagine, you and your family basking in the warm glow of an open flame! They come in a variety of shapes and sizes, and are relatively cheap compared to other outdoor home enhancements such as patio tables and chairs. You can even fuel your fires with extra wood from your property, its a self-sufficient activity.
Perhaps the concrete is basically sound, but has a few hairline cracks. In that case you can lay porcelain or stone tiles over the top, to give an elegant finish to your patio. It's a good idea to use tiles with a textured finish, to reduce the risk of slipping when the tiles are wet. You can use other materials such as sandstone, limestone, granite or slate, as long as they are properly sealed. If you often have freezing conditions over winter, then ensure the tiles don't absorb high levels of water, or they might crack. Be aware, too, that existing cracks in the concrete may expand and cause the tiles on top to crack as well.
Now, firm up the subsoils using a compactor with least compressive force of 3200 pounds and begin adding 6-7 inches of crushed stone on top. Add thickness of 2-3 inches at a time until within 3 inches of the string line.
