I have an old concrete patio.

The patio has about 4 inches between its height and the sill to my backdoor. Is there any type of thin patio stone that I could lay on top of the concrete patio and have a nice new patio without tearing up the concrete and making it a big job? My goal is to freshen up the patio without spending alot. The concrete has several cracks running thru it, but they are more hairline cracks.

    Hi Ken, You would have to seal the concrete before applying anything to the top of it. Once it is sealed you could use brick, tile, stone, whatever you choose.

    Hi Ken, besides sealing the concrete. you should make sure it is level and flat. If it is then you have a great base for just about anything. pavers, tile, slate, and brick. Really just about everything. You should get in a pro to give you ideas and free advice.
