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: 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>

Q: Can you turn a regular basement into a walkout basement?

• <div><p>Yes, it is possible to turn a regular basement into a walkout basement. Doing so involves excavating the land around at least one side of your <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/basement-foundation.htm">basement foundation</a>, installing retaining walls to create a permanent below-grade area outside your home, and then cutting into the foundation to install an exterior door that leads out to the new space. This is an expensive and time-consuming project, but it can add a lot of value and utility to your home.</p></div>

Q: Are there alternatives to pea gravel?

• <div><p>Alternative landscaping materials similar to pea gravel include wood chips, decomposed granite, crushed stone, and pebbles. You can also invest in specialty <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/rock-landscaping-ideas-your-backyard.htm">landscape rocks</a> such as quartz, river rock, lava rock, and Mexican beach pebble. While many of these stones will cost more than pea gravel, some are more ideal for designing an attractive garden bed or managing drainage.</p></div>

Q: What is the difference between a terrace and a patio?

• <div><p>A terrace is a flat area that&rsquo;s raised slightly above ground level while a patio is built at the same level as the door leading into the house. Because of this, terraces usually aren&rsquo;t connected to the living areas of a home but are commonly found around pools and fire areas. </p></div>

I recently hired HHS Masonry& Restoration to install patio pavers in my backyard, and I couldn't be happier with the results! From the initial consultation to the final installation, the team was professional, knowledgeable, and genuinely interested in bringing my vision to life.
