Is it cheaper to build a brick or concrete patio?

• <div><p>It is generally cheaper to build a <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/brick-vs-flagstone-patio.htm">concrete patio versus a brick patio</a>. Basic concrete costs around <b>$8 to $15 per square foot</b>, while a brick patio typically ranges from <b>$10 to $20 per square foot</b>. The cost difference comes down to both materials and labor—pouring and finishing concrete is faster than placing each brick by hand. Brick pavers look great and last long, but they’ll cost more up front. If you’re looking to keep your budget in check without sacrificing function, concrete is usually the more cost-effective choice.</p></div>

Q: Why should businesses opt for expert installation for their concrete surfaces?

• <div><p>Professionals provide long-lasting, structurally sound, and aesthetically appealing concrete surfaces tailored to business needs.</p></div>

Q: What is the most affordable type of patio to build?

• <div><p>Concrete slabs are the most economical choice for a solid ground patio floor, costing around $3 to $8 per square foot on average. Gravel is a little less, about $1 to $4 per square foot, but you&rsquo;ll need to refill it from time to time, which can add up over time. </p></div>

Q: Does a paver patio cost less than a concrete slab?

• <div><p>When comparing <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/brick-vs-flagstone-patio.htm">pavers versus a concrete</a> patio, paver patios tend to be more costly than their concrete counterparts. However, the total cost depends on the type of materials you use and the size of the patio. If your patio needs repairs, a paver patio will be easier and less costly to fix, even though it&rsquo;s more expensive upfront. Plus, a paver patio won&rsquo;t bump up your property taxes, while a concrete patio will.</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>

The two guys were very fast, efficient and cleaned up all of the mess. There was damage to one window screen, one panel of the patio door and missing part for the door which they are replacing and taking care of it for us. We were very pleased.
