Q: How much does it cost to install a patio?

• <div><p>The average <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-does-it-cost-install-patio.htm#">cost to install a patio</a> is around <b>$4,000</b>, but you could spend anywhere from <b>$800 to $14,000</b> or more. Some cost factors you&rsquo;ll need to consider for an accurate estimate include the following:</p><ul><li><p>Square footage of the patio</p></li><li><p>Type of patio you want (concrete, pavers, or brick)</p></li><li><p>Soil quality on your property, which can dictate if drainage is necessary</p></li><li><p>Add-on products </p></li><li><p>Local permitting costs, if applicable</p></li><li><p>Accessibility of your yard </p></li></ul><p></p></div>

Q: Does a paver patio cost less than a concrete slab?

• <div><p>When comparing <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/brick-vs-flagstone-patio.htm">pavers versus a concrete</a> patio, paver patios tend to be more costly than their concrete counterparts. However, the total cost depends on the type of materials you use and the size of the patio. If your patio needs repairs, a paver patio will be easier and less costly to fix, even though it&rsquo;s more expensive upfront. Plus, a paver patio won&rsquo;t bump up your property taxes, while a concrete patio will.</p></div>

Q: Is it cheaper to build a brick or concrete patio?

• <div><p>It is generally cheaper to build a <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/brick-vs-flagstone-patio.htm">concrete patio versus a brick patio</a>. Basic concrete costs around <b>$8 to $15 per square foot</b>, while a brick patio typically ranges from <b>$10 to $20 per square foot</b>. The cost difference comes down to both materials and labor&mdash;pouring and finishing concrete is faster than placing each brick by hand. Brick pavers look great and last long, but they&rsquo;ll cost more up front. If you&rsquo;re looking to keep your budget in check without sacrificing function, concrete is usually the more cost-effective choice.</p></div>

Q: What’s the best type of driveway for the snow?

• <div><p>Asphalt driveways are affordable and able to withstand sub-zero temperatures. The asphalt surface makes it easy to plow snow, and it has excellent traction for slippery winter days. Another benefit: it absorbs heat from the sun and can then help to melt snow and ice more quickly than other surfaces.</p></div>

Q: Do services include ground preparation for new concrete?

• <div><p>Yes, most professional services offer ground leveling and preparation for new installations.</p></div>

We have hired them before and we really liked them, but this last time wasn't as good. The guy pressure washed our deck and then varnished it. He didn't put any tarps down so the varnish fell onto a patio below. We asked him to come back out and pressure wash the patio below. He did so...

This was a very negative experience. Nestor seemed like such a nice guy, and claimed to have something like 20 years of experience. But he ruined my back patio with a rookie-level mistake. I wasn't even planning to have my patio regrouted, but he suggested it, pointing out places where...
