Q: Which is less expensive, a deck or a patio?

• <div><p>Decks are generally more expensive to build because they require elevating and railings. The difference between decks and patios is that decks are elevated, while patios are usually on the ground level. Plus, decks are usually made of wood and need more maintenance than most patios. However, <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/deck-vs-patio-which-works-better.htm">decks and patios</a> serve the same purpose, providing outdoor space for you to enjoy.</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: Who do I hire to install stamped concrete?

• <div><p>Many concrete companies that handle installing concrete slabs or standard concrete patios can also install stamped concrete, but you can also hire a company that specializes in stamped concrete. These textured concrete surfaces take some finesse to get right, and choosing a company that concentrates on stamped concrete patios and walkways is a good way to ensure the finished product looks top-notch. Additionally, specialists in stamped concrete will likely have more texture options that suit your preferences, like riverstone, sandstone, yorkstone, and cobblestone.</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: Can you make stepping stones yourself?

• <div><p>You can make a variety of stepping stone designs yourself, including concrete, wood, mosaic, and stone. Some home improvement centers and craft supply stores sell kits to make mosaic stepping stones for around $15. If you need more than one stone, the cost of these kits can add up quickly, but they make a great weekend project and add uniqueness to your garden.</p></div>
