Q: Which additional landscaping or backyard improvement tasks can be undertaken concurrently with constructing a greenhouse?

• <div><p>As long as you&rsquo;re building a greenhouse, consider the overall look of your backyard. Could it benefit from stone walkways or grading? As long as you&rsquo;re hiring a hardscaping pro to lay the foundation for a greenhouse, you could tackle those other projects to give your whole yard a glow-up at the same time.</p></div>

Q: Do you need a concrete base for a pergola?

• <div><p>A concrete base&mdash;or concrete footings, more specifically&mdash;is necessary for a freestanding pergola build. A pergola is top-heavy and can&rsquo;t stand on its own, so it will always need some type of base or support. If you&rsquo;re attaching a pergola to a deck, the deck&rsquo;s supportive joists will act as the support, so there will be no concrete base or footings necessary.</p></div>

Q: What adds more value: pavers or concrete?

• <div><p>A paver patio will add more value than a concrete patio. Pavers are a more commonly preferred option from an aesthetic and longevity point of view, so most buyers will be willing to pay more for a paver patio than they would for a concrete one. Pavers also don&rsquo;t require a permanent foundation, so they won&rsquo;t increase your property taxes. Buyers also prefer lower property taxes, so that will play into the ROI you&rsquo;ll see, too. </p></div>

Q: How much do stairs cost?

• <div><p>The short answer is that the <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-does-building-stairs-and-railings-cost.htm">cost to build a staircase</a> largely depends on what material they&rsquo;re made out of and how many you need. Wood stairs cost about <b>$50 to $100 per step</b> for materials alone, while labor costs an additional<b> $100 to $250 per step</b>. The cost increases for more expensive materials such as glass or concrete. </p></div>

Q: Could I get a concrete slab instead?

• <div><p>If you're only working with a gravel pad, and there is no concrete foundation, you might be able to upgrade to a concrete slab, but you&rsquo;d have to speak with a professional concrete expert to confirm and get pricing. If you have a concrete foundation or cement block walls around the area where you want to build flooring, you might be able to pour a new concrete floor over the existing one to forgo repairs. Again, speak with a concrete expert or foundation company to see if this is an option.</p></div>
