Outdoor patio… PLEASE HELP!?

niffer asked:
My ugly patio?
I need some ideas. We moved in and there was the concrete pad and some red pavers. We have since tried to spruce things up a bit, but the patio remains a problem. I have considered:
Pouring concrete: $800, plus ripping out old stuff
Putting in deck: $ ???, work, Az is hard on wood I guess.
Laying flagstone: $ ??? but I think it would be at least $1500
Grass would die because of the shade. We are on attempt #3 of grass between patio and planter!
Pea gravel: $150?, easy, but my baby eats it, it isnt so pretty, and it hurts your feet. But, not out of the question.
Any ideas?
Check out my picture. Westfam.org Thanks!

how about indoor-outdoor carpeting or artificial grass. It would be good for a baby to play on.
Or turn it into a big sand box to play in.
