I want to put a patio in behind my house just big enough for table and chairs and grill from the garage to the end of the back ofmyhouse
Great idea! Pouring concrete is an art and best left to the pros for a large slab like this. It can't be too hot or too cold on the day of the pour and must be kept damp and hosed down during the curing process which takes a good 30 days. Price depends where you live, and generally an investment in the property.
