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>

Q: What is the ideal distance between stepping stones?

• <div><p>About 6 inches between the edges of each stone in the sequence is common. Rather than sticking to 6 inches, some people measure the length of the entire path and adjust the space between stepping stones a couple of inches wider or narrower than 6 inches to make sure the entire path fits the length perfectly without having to cut a paver at either end. Other people prefer a design with a 24-inch distance from the center of one stone to the center of the next stone, which matches the stride of an average-sized person.</p></div>

Q: What is the difference between hardscape and paving?

• <div><p>Paving is a part of hardscaping, so all paving is hardscaping, but not all hardscaping is paving. Paving involves laying down concrete or asphalt, while hardscaping can also include the use of paving stones, bricks, gravel, wood, and more. Hardscape features that involve paving are considered permanent and will increase your property taxes, while some other hardscaping features&mdash;like those involving bricks, gravel, and paving stones&mdash;will not affect property taxes. Paving also typically requires a permit, while hardscaping features considered temporary will not.</p></div>

Q: Is asphalt the same as tarmac?

• <div><p>Asphalt and tarmac are not the same thing. Traditional tarmac, short for tarmacadam, uses tar as a binder to hold crushed stone together. Asphalt uses bitumen&mdash;a byproduct of crude oil&mdash;to bind aggregate. Though tarmac was once a go-to for roads, asphalt has become the modern standard. And these days, most surfaces referred to as &ldquo;tarmac&rdquo; are actually asphalt. So, while the names may overlap, the key distinction lies in the binder&mdash;tar for tarmac and bitumen for asphalt.</p></div>

Q: Can resin driveways have patterns?

• <div><p>Like brick, paver, and cobblestone driveways, resin driveways can have intricate patterns using different colors. Aggregates can be laid to create curves, shapes, letters, or numbers. When using custom colors or patterns, homeowners can expect to add an extra <b>$2 to $6</b> per square foot to achieve their desired look. </p></div>
