We have an octagon shaped brick patio right now but it is not big enough and the old owners didnt lay concrete underneath the brick so we constantly get weeds and moss inbetween the bricks and no matter what we do it just never looks clean enough for us. We were thinking of pulling up the brick patio and walkway, laying a larger concrete slab for the patio and than re-using the brick as a border and to even maybe add a brick design to the middle of the patio. I think it would be much cheaper to do this than to add more brick to what we have, plus I think the old brick would have to be re-done. I also think it would look really nice.

Has anyone had concrete layed recently for a patio? Can you give me a general idea of the size and the cost?

Here is a picture I found with brick and conrcrete for a driveway, we would just want to use the same idea for a patio.
