What we found
Gravel and dirt where the patio would go
The area behind the house was gravel and bare dirt running up to the grass line: usable in the sense that it was outdoors, but not somewhere anyone was going to put furniture.
The work
What the crew did, in order
Set out & excavate
The slab area set out against the house and excavated to depth.
Form & pour
Formwork set and the concrete slab poured and finished.
Cover structure
A dark aluminium cover erected over the new slab and fixed to the wall.
Lighting
Recessed downlights wired into the underside of the cover.
Clean-up
Edges trimmed back to the grass and the area handed back.
How it ended
Shade, a solid floor and light after dark
The finished patio has the three things the old ground didn't: a level slab you can put a table on, a cover that makes it usable in a South Florida afternoon, and downlights that make it usable after dark. Worth flagging that this project is a patio rather than a driveway, despite sitting in the concrete side of the business.
