I got my first bid for the new 25 ft by 13 ft concrete patio extension we want to add to the back yard. It came in at $1600 to $2000. I think this is good, although I don't know. I've never had concrete work done before! I had budgeted $2000 to $3000 for the project, so who knows, it could be the first thing I've done this year that costs less than the estimate.
The patio is an extension of an existing patio, and will give us much more usable space in our backyard. We'll still have plenty of trees, grass and wild areas as well. It'll just be really nice to have more places to sit and a place for bean to safely ride his tricycle back and forth!
$1600 for new patio?
