Can you use pea gravel as a paver base?

• <div><p>Pea gravel can be used as a base for a paver patio, but it’s not the preferred choice. Because it is small and round, pea gravel moves much more easily than other base options, like crushed stone, so it won’t keep your pavers in place properly. </p><p>If you do opt for pea gravel, compact it well and use an additional binding agent (like stone dust) to keep everything from shifting.</p></div>

Q: Will pavers crack in a fire pit?

• <div><p>Pavers will crack in a fire pit if they are made of the wrong materials. Be sure to use kiln-fired brick paver stones when building your backyard fire pit. You can also purchase a fire pit project kit, which will sometimes come with fire-safe pavers, to help you avoid the guessing game of buying pavers separately.</p></div>

Q: Can interlocking pavers withstand harsh weather conditions?

• <div><p>Quality pavers and correct installation handle temperature variations. Proper maintenance is crucial in severe climates to prevent issues like heaving.</p></div>

Q: Should I install concrete, stone, or brick pavers?

• <div><p>Deciding between <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/brick-vs-flagstone-patio.htm">concrete, stone, or brick pavers</a> comes down to your budget and the ease of installation. Concrete is the least expensive material, followed by brick and then natural stone. Concrete pavers are also the easiest to install, but bricks are relatively easy as well. Stone pavers require more time and labor because their natural shapes make them harder to fit together. Professional stoneworkers, however, are able to shape them as needed.</p></div>

Q: How much does installing a brick or stone driveway or floor cost?

• <div><p>Costs range from $10 to $50 per square foot, depending on material choice, labor, and site preparation.</p></div>

They took out some of the gardens we had. They did an excellent job. Ethelgive Eitel is the one that was in charge of this. Compared to the 3 estimates I got, she was on the lower end. We added to the project and she was very reasonable. She knew we were working on a brick stoop and having a...

They did a great job. I got them from one of the ads that come in the back of the service directory of the newspaper. The previous owner built his shed and evidently took away the garage and parked his boat on white rock. I didn't know there had been a garage there. When I first moved here...
