Does a concrete walkway or sidewalk need rebar?

• <div><p>Whether a concrete walkway or sidewalk needs rebar depends on how it will be used. Walkways and sidewalks meant for light foot traffic don’t need rebar, and you can use wire mesh instead. But concrete surfaces that will see heavy machinery will likely need it.</p></div>

Which additional landscaping or backyard improvement tasks can be undertaken concurrently with constructing a greenhouse?

• <div><p>As long as you’re building a greenhouse, consider the overall look of your backyard. Could it benefit from stone walkways or grading? As long as you’re hiring a hardscaping pro to lay the foundation for a greenhouse, you could tackle those other projects to give your whole yard a glow-up at the same time.</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: Do masons pour concrete?

• <div><p>In most cases, yes, masons can build concrete forms and pour concrete for a variety of home improvement projects, including foundation pouring. Some masons may prefer to focus on more aesthetic and artistic masonry work, like building retaining walls, crafting custom fireplaces, tiling, or installing stucco siding, but most also have experience pouring concrete. You can always <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/questions-ask-masonry-contractor.htm">ask your masonry contractor</a> if they also handle poured concrete projects.</p></div>

Q: What is the easiest way to build your own patio?

• <div><p>A simple square paver patio is the easiest long-lasting patio to install. With this basic shape, you won&rsquo;t have to worry about curvatures in the design or having to cut pavers to fit. You could also opt for the gravel patio, but as noted, it can be messy and you will have to refill the gravel regularly as shoes and pet paws drag it out of its intended area.</p></div>

Q: Which additional landscaping or backyard improvement tasks can be undertaken concurrently with constructing a greenhouse?

• <div><p>As long as you&rsquo;re building a greenhouse, consider the overall look of your backyard. Could it benefit from stone walkways or grading?
