I would like to get this looking good. Please give me any feedback on ideas on making this look good. I'm leaning towards demoing all these old slabs and starting over.

Also i dont like the wood beams holding up the patio roof, 4x4's close to door, and 2x9's for the outside support, any suggestions on improvements?

Depending on the size of your wallet.

That thing has seen many make-do changes in it's life.

A demo and replacement with something more to your taste is in order.

What is the patio cover made from?

Before demoing locate all utilities, to prevent any damage to them.

And go wild , because you are only going to get one chance to get it right.

Thanks ed, the patio cover is rolled roof on plywood, 2x9 joists

I think that I would extend the patio out to the block fence, and put up stone veneering on that block, ( I hate block walls), leave the plantings in place if they are good, install stone columns as a supporting structure for a louvered pergola patio cover, get that patched concrete replaced with a solid slab, or pavers.

Up grade the pool fence rails to a nicer design, or remove them if you have no need for the security factor.

Add some plants in BIG pots as accents.

Regardless of personal opinion of "need"' you need to double check the law in your area about pool fences. They are mandated ( or an equivalent safety feature) in many areas.

You also need to double check with your homeowners Insurance before removing it. Many companies won't insure without it. Others will raise your rates.

Personally I would get rid of that wood awning and get some insulated roofing like elite panels, also for the flooring I would go with some stone pavers.

Thanks af, there is a additional 20x20' uncovered slab next to it, i think they used as a basketball court, so to do pavers i would have to demo as well.
I think it might be worth it

That is a lot of demo in likely a confined area and near a pool.
I'd check into some kind of rubberized topping that gets glued down. Saw it on a Mike Holm's episode; looked pretty nice when done. No idea of cost or how it holds up. But tearing what you have up and prepping for a new pour is not fast, easy, nor cheap.

Definitely worth checking out, thank you very much
