I have a monolithic concrete floor (in Texas) and I need to level the concrete where I've enclosed a patio. The deepest edge will be about 3" and the shallow edge will be about 1". It is all interior and I'll be putting a tile floor on top. What type of concrete and what type of tie in or mesh (if any) should I use?

What are the temperature changes in your region and I need to know that for expansion rates in the crete it will help me direct you in the right direction.

Do you have concrete experiences ?

The reason I'm asking is the word used here "Monolithic" I'm am a professional Crete Contractor. In all 35 years of the trades I never heard a home owner use that term unless they read it out of a book or it's a test question or you're a Crete person in the trades. So let me know the level you are at and that would GREATLY help me determine the best way for you to accomplish this task and your skill Level.
Example I can tell you what Psi Crete to use and the slump to re pour it and the amount of Crete and tell you how to wet bench it.
Thank You
I will be waiting to help! And get you on your way.

I don't have any concrete experience. I've done some GC work, mostly fire restoration. The framer who built the room ( a friend) used that term to describe the pour as one complete slab. We were concerned about shifting of two slabs before the work started.

So I have a solid understanding of construction, but really don't understand concrete. I've mortared a little stone area, but that's about it.

Thanks for your help. I can send a picture if will help out.

As far as temp in the area, I'm in Fort Worth TX. Annual temp range is from 10 to 100. We're approaching spring so our daily change is 30 - 40 at night to 60 - 70 in the day. This area is all heated interior.

I appreciate your help.

Contact a slabjacking contractor. If the slab has settled 1 to 3 inches, there are definitely instability problems below the slab that need to be address (most likely voids that will allow the concrete slab to continue to settle) and if they aren't resolved, no amount of work on the surface will correct the problem. Check out www.ConcreteJack.com to learn more about the slabjacking process; it works by injecting either grout or polyurethane foam under the slab to fill voids and relevel the concrete, and most contractors will warranty their work.
