Question
I would like to add a 10*10 concrete patio next to an existing one in my back yard. What is a rough estimate of cost?
Paul, you don't tell where you are. The best answer is to contact several local concrete men for a bid. I would expect the work to cost at least $5 per square foot. Excavation and sod removal will cost more. If they cannot get a truck to the back yard, wheel barrows or pump will cost more.
Hope this gives you the answer you seek.
