Weeds and sand overtaking a patio?

Over the past few years I have been getting estimates and ideas of how to fix a 20 year old patio that has been overrun with weeds, sand, and small ants who have taken residence there. I have had suggestions from just putting a deck over it to replacing the whole thing. Estimates have ranged from $3000 to $5400.

I don't want to do a deck because of the maintenance required with anything wood. The teck decks are too expensive and tend to mildew according to my sister-in-law. I just want a nice patio that doesn't require much maintenance.

Recently I obtained two estimates that were more in my ballpark. One company is willing to redo the entire patio with the existing pavers for $2200 which is the best offer yet. I'm calling him today and will let you know the results.

Rockspring landscaping did a great job on my patio. I had noticed some sand and ants creeping through the first few days, but they came back and put more of the concrete mix? down.
