Decision time. It's either a redwood deck or a concrete patio. Which one
is less expensive in your part of the USA?

I don't have a clue about cost, but I'd never put a deck where I could have
a patio. Easier to maintain, no staining or waterproofing, spills easily
hosed off, never rots, no raccoons or skunks make a home under it, no guard
rails needed. Can't think of a single benefit of having a wood deck over
concrete on the ground.
