Back patio under a pergola
- The job
The owners wanted a patio slab behind their brick home to sit under a pergola.
- What we found
The pergola posts needed solid support, and a standard patio edge was too thin to carry them.
- What we did
We thickened the slab where the posts land, reinforced the whole patio and poured it with a smooth broom finish.
Worth knowing. If a roof or pergola might come later, say so before the pour. Post locations change the slab.
