Careful, I've read that hop roots can go lateral and push up or break concrete in its way. They can live a long time and have plenty of ways to ruin a nice concrete pour. They become tough and gnarly, like tree roots.

The patio will be raised quite a bit off the ground on the side they would going, so it’ll be a solid concrete wall it’ll have to grow through before that’s an issue.

It’s all been figured out to be able to use for trees if not other shade plants. Most issues come from too thin slabs, I can’t do that or it’ll be destroyed by the first winter anyways ;)
