If you have an old concrete patio, you can resurface it with pavers and transform the surface. You may get away with covering it up with an outdoor rug, but for a more permanent solution consider pavers designed with a thinner profile and light enough to go over the existing surface while being permeable for water filtration.
At home and lawn and garden centers, you’ll find these pavers in a variety of colors, some made of recycled material, making them a durable surface that’s environmentally friendly. The installation involves using its grid system that takes the difficulty out of setting and aligning a traditional heavy concrete paver.
The Azek pavers measure 4 by 8 inches and fit into 16-inch square grids. Pavers and the grid are sold together. Additional bullnose pavers can be used to finish the edges, and transition pavers allow easy access between the grass or old surfaces. For more information, go to https://azekco.com, the manufacturer’s website.
To lay these pavers on a 15-by-20-foot patio, a contractor will charge $6,000, which includes the labor and material. A handy homeowner can do the job for $4,800, the cost of the pavers and grid system. You’ll save 20% by doing the work yourself.

If the patio is cracked or damaged, the surface should be repaired so the grid can be applied to a clean, dry and level surface.
