The center slab is pretty thrashed and has some failing previous repairs. A couple of other slabs have more minor damage. At the very least, I’m interested in removing and repouring the center slab, but a contractor recommended against doing anything less than a full demo/replacement of the whole patio based on foundation/structural reasons.

Beyond aesthetic reasons, is this advice legit or just an upsell? If I need to do the whole thing and not just one or two slabs, I might consider pavers instead of concrete, but any suggestions are welcome.

Thanks!

    That middle slab is like 8ft away from the house there is no way it will do anything to the house foundation. Even digging like 1ft away from a house foundation won’t do anything unless you leave it there to collect tons of water for years.

    The whole pour is bad though I wouldn’t bother with anything tbh, you need it flat?
