The patio really has got some loose blocks these days, and unless you’re very careful when you walk on it, you’re incredibly liable to turn an ankle or hurt yourself on the whole. I can deal with this personally, but it’s not the kind of thing that I would expect friends and neighbors who come visiting to deal with as well. I would feel horrible if someone sprained an ankle on my loose patio blocks. I want to keep that patio in some capacity, so my course of action just might be to call in some professional style patio pavers to see if they can work their magic on the area. I wouldn’t mind just having the whole rectangular area paved over, and then I would know that nobody would hurt themselves. I also think that it would just look better with regards to the different furniture pieces that I could then put out there.
