Q: Are concrete porches less expensive than wood?

• <div><p>A concrete porch costs about $2 to $10 per square foot upfront, while a wood porch costs about $4 to $30 per square foot, making concrete less expensive upfront. However, wood requires much more maintenance than concrete, so you&rsquo;ll need to consider the costs of staining, painting, and resealing the porch every few years, which makes wood more expensive in the long run.</p></div>

Q: How far apart do you put stepping stones?

• <div><p>Stepping stones should match an average human stride, so the general rule is to place them about 24 inches between stones. However, many designs put stones closer together. If you choose to plant in between them, leave at least 6 to 8 inches between stones to give plants room to grow.</p></div>

Q: How long does it take to build a patio?

• <div><p>The average patio takes anywhere from <b>30 to 50 hours</b> to build, including leveling the ground and paving the patio. If you&rsquo;re doing the work yourself, you might want to plan on spending significantly more time, especially if you don&rsquo;t have all the equipment or experience.
