New Concrete patio puddles when rains

Hi there, I had a new patio added on to my exsisting patio. looks great except when it rains, I have puddling in one area. I am not sure what can be done about this to make sure it drains properly. can the surface be sanded somehow? is there a material that can go on top to level without it looking bad?? please help any suggestions are appreciated

rharton,

They're called 'birdbaths' -- they happen. There's really nothing that you can do about them, short of tearing out the slab and repouring it.

Shed foundation question

L

lzhang on Apr 23, 2007

I am in NJ. Want to build a 8x11 wood shed in the backyard. I understand that I don't need concrete footings. 4 concrete blocks at the 4 corners should work. But I'm not sure how deep I should dig and pour stones under the blocks, as footing. thank you for viewing and inputting your ideas. I raised the question here as I do not see a special forum for shed.
