Q: How much do concrete contractors usually charge?

• <div><p>Concrete contractors typically charge anywhere from <b>$6 to $14 per square foot</b>. Cost factors include job size, site prep, base material, accessibility, your location, concrete finish, and concrete thickness. <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-should-concrete-demo-cost-square-foot.htm">Removal of existing concrete</a>, asphalt, deck, pavers, and grass will cost anywhere from $1 to $6 per square foot. Homeowners can often save money by removing and disposing of existing pavers, decks, and grass. Breaking up and hauling away concrete and asphalt is difficult and time-consuming without the proper equipment and may be worth having the pros do that work.</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>

Q: Is it better to pour concrete or pavers for a patio?

• <div><p>It depends on your priorities. Concrete is more affordable and faster to install, but pavers offer better drainage, are easier to repair, and can create a more high-end look. If budget and speed matter most, go with concrete. If you want style and flexibility, pavers are the better bet. </p></div>

Q: What happens if you don't put gravel under concrete?

• <div><p>If you don&rsquo;t put gravel under concrete, the concrete can crack, sink, bow, or crumble. Even the <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/concrete-forming.htm">concrete forming</a> process will not go as smoothly if you are working directly on the soil or bare bedrock. The lack of a proper gravel layer can also lead to drainage issues below your slab, leading to water issues throughout your lawn and around your foundation.</p></div>

Q: How much base is needed under a concrete slab?

• <div><p>You should have at least <b>4 to 6 inches</b> of compactable base under your concrete slab. Your contractor may recommend more depending on the structure.</p></div>

I love my new patio. Manny and his crew were terrific. They showed up on time and really hustled all day laying my patio slab. They did a beautiful job on the details and finishes. They left my property tidy. I highly recommend Yahweh Concrete.
