need quote on installed concrete patio
My patio is cracked very badly. Can I get the concrete resurfaced or do I need to redo it?
Yes, a concrete patio step does in fact need to be on a footing. Without the proper footing foundation, the step will be uneven.
Depends on the size of the patio. Most can be done with only 6"X6" wire mesh.

To find out how many yards of concrete you need for your 450 sq ft patio, you would first need to determine the thickness of the concrete you plan to pour. Let's assume a standard 4-inch thickness. One cubic yard of concrete would cover 81 square feet at a 4-inch depth. So for a 450 sq ft patio at 4 inches thick, you would need approximately 5.56 cubic yards of concrete.
Well assuming the depth of concrete is going to be 1 meter you will need 846 cubic meters of concrete.
If you use a standard 4-inch thickness you will need a minimum of 6.17 cubic yards.

This method provides a smooth and level surface without the need for extensive manual leveling.
