hey all,
im currently looking at revamping our raised garden patio, were raising it further to meet up with internal ground floor levels, its brick/concrete and paved.
i'd like a finish like polished concrete - as smooth a surface as possible, and it would be over a concrete/rubble infill, of the patio that exists to lift the levels up by about 30-60cm.
how easy can this all be?
could it come in cheaper than a traditional timber decking frame/deck set onto the existing patio?
ive had quotes come in for a timber deck and stairs at nearly £6k!!!!
but i imagine a load of rubble and a layer of concrete over and then polished up nice n smooth would be well cheaper and easy to achieve.
any experienced thoughts out there? i'm a novice at external DIY solutions, but fairly ok indoors heheheh!
