One of the projects I've been considering at the rental house is a patio. The frost line is only a few inches (Atlanta). It is a sizeable slope and I'll need to do some terracing.
I'd like enough of a patio for a few chairs and a BBQ.
I've done patios out of brick and concrete blocks (location had a lot of them), and they are fun to do. I have neither at this location and am thinking concrete. I have no shortage of people available who have concrete skills. Roughly, I want it to look decent, but not spend a lot of money. Labor is cheap and fast and seems to be skilled, the stucco and landing work I had done is very good.
Should I be thinking stamped and stained or casting pavers?
Ready Mix or bagged and a mixer?
Right now I'm just trying to get a feel before I get a crew together and stake it out.
