Default Concrete or brick patio

The folks that i talked to said that the concrete patios can be made to
match any finish - eg: the basketweave brick pattern that we liked a

? The price diff is huge. Would concrete patio stand up to the new
england winter ?


True, but remember there are two kinds of concrete, the kind that's
cracked, and the kind that's gonna crack ;-)


Except we've had a 20X40 concrete slab patio in CT that has stood for over
40 years with no cracks, and no control joints, and no maintenance. I'm
not sure how they achived this feat.
