How thick should a concrete patio be?

• <div><p>Most standard concrete patios are around 4 inches deep. However, concrete patios that need to support very heavy items, like a <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/8-tips-installing-indoor-hot-tub.htm">hot tub</a> or outdoor kitchen, should be around 6 inches thick to support the full weight of these items. You'll also want to make sure you install rebar for patios that need to support a lot of weight like this. </p></div>

Are there any alternatives to deck footings?

• <div><p>Deck pier blocks are one alternative to traditional deck footings. Unlike poured concrete and buried post footings, deck blocks <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/deck-footings-no-digging.htm">don’t require digging</a> or pouring. They’re best for small or low-to-the-ground decks. Keep in mind, though, that not all areas allow the use of deck pier blocks, so consult your local building codes before choosing them for your deck.</p></div>

Q: Is it less expensive to lay concrete or pavers?

• <div><p>While it may be less expensive initially to lay <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/pavers-vs-concrete-patio.htm">concrete vs. pavers</a>, the long-term expenses that come with repairing concrete may prove to be less cost-friendly than simply replacing a few damaged pavers. On top of that, stamped concrete may only last for 25 years compared to pavers, which can last over 50 years.</p></div>

Q: What is the ideal distance between stepping stones?

• <div><p>About 6 inches between the edges of each stone in the sequence is common. Rather than sticking to 6 inches, some people measure the length of the entire path and adjust the space between stepping stones a couple of inches wider or narrower than 6 inches to make sure the entire path fits the length perfectly without having to cut a paver at either end. Other people prefer a design with a 24-inch distance from the center of one stone to the center of the next stone, which matches the stride of an average-sized person.</p></div>

Q: Do gazebos need a slab of concrete?

• <div><p>Most gazebos need a <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/concrete-slab-cost.htm">concrete slab</a> for a secure, long-lasting, and durable gazebo. Whether or not your gazebo needs a slab of concrete depends on the type of gazebo you&rsquo;re building. Some gazebos have a built-in base or use other base materials, including wooden decks, paver slabs, or concrete footings.</p></div>

My driveway was totally cracked. I was scared I was going to have to replace the entire driveway. Luckily DryLock Pros was able to use the existing driveway, grind it down, and apply a new surface coat of concrete. My driveway looks brand new. Well worth the money. Highly recommend.

They seemed to have done a really good job but overcharged by double. They came out and quoted $4,800 to install plumbing underneath a mobile home. We went ahead with them because they said they could do it the very next day and we were having a hard time finding someone that would come out...

Very professional company, timely and very tidy work performance. You can't see where the wires were installed. Several neighbors also decided to install outdoor accent lighting. They are equally as pleased as we are.
