Building Homes or Extensions/concrete pation

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?

Answer
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.
