What is the cheapest way to build a patio?

Question

Would like to do it myself, but am wondering which way is the least expensive, wood, brick, stone, etc...

Answer 1

I built a small patio off the back of my home, using 14 x 14 brick slabs, the kind you can buy at Lowes or Walmart. They are inexpensive and its easy to do. it Looks Lovely afterwards. Good Luck

Answer 2

You do out and get concrete pieces & rocks. people throw away or at a river or such place.and lay them down as you wont the shape to me then build a form of wood planks and make the shape you wont then you get a wheel barrow and get concrete mix and you slowly fill it in and then when its full you smooth it out and there you have it, I did that ,it was very cheaply done.,and been there 20 years solid.make sure you make it at least five inch's deep.This is the cheapest way to make a patio.wood rots.you have to treat it often.make it thick enough it will last many years good luck.& mix that concrete right,the person at the store will tell you just how to do it.or you can get premixed concrete,

Answer 3

Patio block is very wasy to use and there are many colors and they look nice.
