Patio Doors

frank p asked:


My patio is covered but the outer rows of the tile get rain and some swimming pool water. These rows of tiles are deteriorating (flaking) and even turning to mud. When dry the surface is about a 1/4 inch down from rest of patio. Not sure if I can repair existing tiles with sealant or if they need to be replaced? If sealant is the answer, what prep do I need to do?

Diane L asked:


The patio is 12×15. The wood is rotted and the edges of the slabs are worn. Can the wood be removed and replaced with something else? I want to eventually paint the patio so the repair needs to look better than the old rotted wood.

I have visited parks in Paris that have compacted sand beneath gravel. Can this be done directly on top of an existing concrete patio? Will the existing drainage be adequate?

Concrete Floor Paint

Dave asked:


I have about 6 feet of space between the house and the fence and I want to create a little patio or sitting area out there. There is nothing but dirt right now and there is a good 1 foot difference between the hight of the ground at the house and the height at the fence. What is the best method for flattening the ground, then paving over with stone or brick? And should I leave some slope for drainage purposes? Any other drainage issues to consider?
