Concrete Patio vs Pavers vs Deck

I bought a 1965 home for myself next to a town known for flooding.  All of the sidewalks are pitched into the property so I need to have everything regraded.  The backyard has a concrete patio that you can see has sunken in a few inches and sloped in towards the house.  After I take it out I don't know what would be best to replace it with for long term durability.  Concrete, pavers or a wood deck?

Hi Brie,

You might want to look into concrete jacking.

There are 2 methods.

To raise it either small spots under it are filled with goo like pillars, or the whole under part is filled with goo.

Good Luck!
