There is no perfect surface to put a Run/Kennel on...The stone/concrete is fine but it will hold dirt and be harder to clean...Stone like that can also be harder for dogs footing (it can be slippery particularly when wet)...
You also need to have a slight slope to drain water...
For a Surface:
*You want something that is good for dog's footing...
*Ease of Cleaning...
*Depending on the Weather...You need to beware of the Temperature...
*The need to Run-Off or a Gutter to direct your water that you clean the Run/Kennel with...

As for material for the dog Runs/Kennel you can buy an already built 5'W X 10'L X 6'H Welded Wire Kennel at Tractor Supply Co. for about $300...it's ok but not great...My dogs have eaten thru 9 gauge wire before so what I have now is 5 gauge panels...of which they've still crushed portions of it...

What I like to use now is Horse Panels...Horse Panels come in 16' lengths...they are welded wire and will stand up to weather...You can get them in heights of 4'...5' and 6'...You can cut these to whatever you want...You can use some 4" X 4" treated posts for studs or you can buy regular metal fence posts...You can get most of this stuff at Tractor Supply (they do have the Horse Panels)...

You will have to find someone to make a gate for you and use the Horse Wire as Material...I just had 10 gates made for myself (in our new home) and they were about $150 each...
