Will putting a concrete patio right next to my foundation be damaging to the foundation?

I had a concrete patio put in last summer. They said they were going to be putting in the expansion joint that goes between the patio and the foundation on the house but when they were finished they didn't put it in and told me it wouldn't be necessary. Now after the thaw, (I am in MN), the patio top is chipping away because it shifted along the foundation. Is this going to cause problems for me? I am afraid my foundation may have been weakened by this.

Why is my beautiful concrete patio turning white, when I water my potted plants?

We put in a large stamped concrete patio this year. We put quite a few plants in pots on the patio. When I water there is a white film left on the concrete. If it is mineral deposits from the water, how or can I get it off! And any ideas on how to prevent it from happening. Our patio would be empty without plants. so not putting them is not a option! We had the concrete put in professionally. It is colored stamped concrete. The contractor did seal it a day after he put it in. It is a brownish grey color, so the white really stands out. I do have my pots on rollers, , but I guess when the water drains, it sits in the low stamped spots, and causes the white spots. Also I have used store bought potting soil for all my pots.

What type of patio furniture do you reccomend for a roof top patio in los angeles?

Hi, we would like to decorate our patio with furniture that lasts along time and can resist rain (when it rains in LA it rains like a monsoon) and the sun (they don't call it sunny for nothing!). Plus we are elevated up pretty high so wind is a concern too. we look forward to your suggestions, THANKS!

What is the best way to build/pour concrete or stone steps to a patio door?

My darling hubby and I are planning on pouring a concrete slab patio. We have a patio door that exits to this patio and needs about a three and a half foot flight of stairs. DH and I are a little confused about the most cost efficient way to construct steps. We want something that will go well with the concrete or patio stones so I don't believe wood will work very well and we're not sure exactly how to set up a frame to pour steps, set brick steps or build a frame that we can disguise with patio stones and concrete slab treads. I have enclosed a few links to pictures for the latter of the options. Thank you for any help!

Do I need to use a patio table cover during the summer?

Are patio chair cushions really mildew-resistant? Or should I buy patio table cover and chair covers for my new patio set to use when I'm not using it?

How to disinfect outdoor patio tile after finding a dead rat and blood?

Found a dead rat and about 5 nickel sized blood spots on my back patio. I'm assumed he hemorrhaged from rat poisoning that a neighbor put out. Had hubby get rid of the rat but I'm concerned about thoroughly disinfecting the area, mostly because I have cats that I take on my patio (supervised, but still...) daily. I don't want them to pick up any diseases or germs if they walk on those tiles. Any advice?
