Hello,
I am new to the forum. I was doing some DIY projects and came across this site. I am loving all the information on the site so far!
I moved into my house in Jan. The owners before me attempted to poor an additional concrete slab for the patio. They failed on this attempt. Anyone have ideas on a easy fix for this without busting everything up and starting over. I will post some photos in a minute

No easy fix for that,do yourself a favor and tear out and repour if you want concrete,or a bit pricey and a little more work but pavers would be my choice.
Looks like a "how hard could it be?" moment. Yeah, that "slab" has got to go. I'd go with some concrete that is colored and stamped. It'll cost more, and its not a DIY thing, but you'll be happier in the long run.
The concrete patio though finished horribly does not appear to be cracking, heaving, or sinking.
It looks like they did a really bad job of finishing it.
Depending on the height of the door sill that leads out to the patio and some other factors, I am not so sure that going right over the top with a new system would be out of the question.
