The renovation of this concrete patio is finished, and it turned out absolutely gorgeous! Natural flagstone was used to veneer the already-existing patio.

And finally, the steps leading from the deck to the patio were relocated to provide more room on the patio, and make a more convenient entrance from the deck. Check back for our next job in progress!
