    New patio partly going over exsisting path.

    I have had wheelchair accessable paths put in my garden but would now like to have a patio area that will go over one of the exsisting paths and onto the current grass area. Its it better to concrete onto the grass so its all level or pave over the path and then onto where the grass is? On a limited budget so looking for best options as dont want the new patio sinking below the path or causing issues. Removing the path is not an option and must be incorperated.
