Q: How long do concrete pathways last?

• <div><p>A concrete pathway is very durable and can last upward of 30 years under normal conditions. Heavy snowfall and excessive heat may decrease this lifespan over time, as can vehicle traffic and salt applications during freezing conditions. Homeowners in extreme climates might notice cracking and deterioration after just 15 years, while those in more temperate climates should see multiple decades of life from their concrete. </p></div>

Q: How much does it cost to build a patio with a fire pit?

• <div><p>To build a patio with a built-in fire pit, expect to pay an average of <b>$6,750</b>. The <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-does-it-cost-install-patio.htm">cost to build a patio</a> alone is an average of <b>$3,500</b>. Although the cost of construction is higher, the patio and fire pit combination offers a better resale value than a patio alone or a patio with a fire pit add-on.</p></div>

Q: How do I keep my concrete steps looking their best?

• <div><p>After you install your concrete steps, and even as they age, applying a coat of paint or concrete sealer to them every one to two years is a great way to keep them looking fresh and new. We also recommend doing light concrete step repair if you notice chipping or crumbling. You can dress up your steps with planters, decorative railings, and other decor to breathe new life into your stoop as well.</p></div>

Q: Is it better to have a deck or a concrete patio?

• <div><p>The average ROI you&rsquo;ll see from a deck or a concrete patio is 70%, so from a value-add perspective, they&rsquo;re about the same. However, decks are around double the price of a concrete patio, they require significantly more maintenance, and they have a lifespan of 10 to 15 years, about half of what you&rsquo;d see from a concrete patio. As such, a concrete patio is a better option in terms of up-front cost, long-term maintenance, and ROI.</p></div>

Q: What do you put between pavers and concrete?

• <div><p>You should place a layer of thick landscaping fabric directly over the concrete slab and then a thin layer of leveling sand over that to protect the pavers from moisture. For border pavers, you should plan on locking them in place with polyurethane adhesive. This will prevent them from shifting under foot traffic.</p></div>
