Hannah S asked:


It’s estimated to be a $5,000 job for a 15 x 17 patio. Will it add that much to the value of my house?

This little pain in the rear squirrel comes up on my patio and is killing my plants. Is there any humane way to get this critter from screwing up my plants? I live on the 2nd floor and we have a stucco way, and he likes to climb the walls to go from patio to patio.

Michelle V asked:


My old patio is not doing it for me anymore. We are putting a door from the master bedroom to the patio and will need to have steps built so I figure this is the time. I now have an ugly painted concrete pation with a bad slope (towards the house) and would like a stamped concrete patio, but cannot figure out where I find someone to do this work.

Thank you for any help or further information. I am at a loss!
I live in Sonoma County, California. How much would I expect to pay for demolition and installation of a 500 square food stamped concrete patio?

Are patio chair cushions really mildew-resistant? Or should I buy patio table cover and chair covers for my new patio set to use when I’m not using it?

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?

We have white plastic patio furnature/ lounge chairs that surround our pool. Each year during the winter we bring them in and store them in our basement. This year they have turned a rusty yellow. Has this happened to you before and how do you clean it off?

Cereal Killer asked:


I want her to have access to the patio. But I don’t want her to go outside past that, just to be able to hanout outside. I am on the groundfloor with a pretty large patio and a 6ft wooden fence. If there’s anything I can put up, etc and ideas would be great. Thanks.
