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.
To determine how many bags of concrete are needed for a 10x10 patio, you first need to calculate the volume of concrete required. A 10x10 patio is 100 square feet, and if you plan for a thickness of 4 inches (0.33 feet), the volume would be 100 sq ft x 0.33 ft = 33 cubic feet. Since standard concrete bags are typically 80 pounds and cover about 0.6 cubic feet, you would need approximately 55 bags of concrete (33 cubic feet ÷ 0.6 cubic feet per bag).
To level a concrete patio effectively and efficiently, you can use a self-leveling compound. First, clean the surface and fill any cracks. Then, mix and pour the compound onto the patio, spreading it evenly with a trowel. Allow it to dry according to the manufacturer's instructions. This method provides a smooth and level surface without the need for extensive manual leveling.
