As it continues to warm up here in California Mike and I decided we needed a patio in order to help us enjoy our dirt backyard. We had many different ideas. Since we’re the do it ourselves type we thought we could pour our own cement, lay pavers, or maybe do a combination of cement and pavers. As we continued discussing our project we realized that one, we wanted a nice patio and we didn’t know how (or have the equipment) to pour our own cement. Two, we priced out pavers… EXPENSIVE, and time consuming. I wanted a patio to use now, not at the end of summer! So, we asked around and found a general contractor who does patios. He came out did the measuring, laid the forms, dug the holes for the shade structure footings, and eventually poured the concrete. We are immensely pleased with the end result. Bonus we didn’t really have to do a thing. I left for work with no patio and I came home 8 hours later the new owner of a patio.
Forms for the concrete.
Below are the holes that the footings were placed in for the future shade structure.
Yay! A Patio!
Now we can enjoy this! Soon to come… patio furniture and a shade structure!
