Which gravel can you harden into a solid surface?

• <div><p><a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/what-is-decomposed-granite.htm">Decomposed granite</a> and caliche can both harden into a solid surface using a plate compactor. However, due to decomposed granite’s fine particles, it’s not suitable for driveway surfaces. Some homeowners use pea gravel mixed with a gravel-binding resin to bind the loose stones and create a solid surface that won’t shift like loose gravel.</p></div>

Is it OK to Pour Concrete Over Asphalt?

• <div><p>You can pour concrete over asphalt if it’s in good condition, thick, stable, and well-compacted. Concrete is more durable than asphalt and can extend the lifetime of your driveway without having to pay frequent <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/asphalt-driveway-repair-cost.htm">asphalt driveway repair costs</a> or replace it completely. </p><p>But this is best reserved as a temporary solution based on budget restraints, as asphalt requires more frequent repairs and assessments than concrete. Once that concrete top is poured, it’ll be harder to accurately understand what’s happening beneath that layer, which could lead to more issues.</p></div>

Can I pour concrete directly on dirt?

• <div><p>It is not advisable to pour concrete directly on dirt. Even compacted soil—known as a subgrade—is not strong enough to maintain the form of concrete. You can, however, <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/can-you-pour-over-concrete.htm">pour concrete over concrete</a> as long as the overlay has proper bonding agents and the slab below is clear of damage.</p></div>

Q: Is concrete cheaper than pavers?

• <div><p>On average, concrete costs less than pavers for the same project. Standard broom-finished concrete costs from <b>$2 to $15 per square foot</b>. Stamped concrete costs between <b>$8 to $28 per square foot</b>. On the other hand, pavers cost from $8 to $50 per square foot. For any of these materials, the cost depends on which concrete finish or paver you choose. Keep in mind that the layout complexity, amount of site preparation, and location factor into the cost, too.</p></div>

Q: How do you cut cement pavers without a saw?

• <div><p>An easy way to cut concrete pavers without a saw is to use a hammer and chisel. You can make a few passes over your paver with a hammer and chisel to make a fissure where you want the paver to break. Once the divot is about 1/8 inch thick, drive the chisel hard into the center of the line to complete the cut without using a saw.</p></div>
