My patio is made of 4×4 concrete slabs with wood in between. The wood is rotted. How can I repair it?

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.

      you would be much better off, if you started from scratch, take everything up, and redo whole thing, that way you know where you stand?i wouldn’t use wood again, because you’ll always have some problem with it
