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>

Q: What other driveway materials can I choose for my driveway?

• <div><p>Cobblestone is just one of many <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/choosing-perfect-material-your-driveway.htm">driveway materials</a>. Other, more economical, albeit less elaborate options include concrete, asphalt, and gravel. </p><p>If you want a material that most closely resembles cobblestone, your best option is bricks or pavers. Both cost anywhere from <b>$10 to $50 per square foot</b> and can be laid in all kinds of patterns. Depending on the type of paver you choose, you can also get a good bang for your buck by investing in durable natural stone. </p></div>

Q: How long does it take to build a concrete driveway?

• <div><p>Building a concrete driveway normally takes between one and three days, including the time to cure the concrete. Wait at least seven days <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-long-before-drive-on-concrete.htm">before driving on your driveway</a> and two days before walking on it. Your contractor may require additional time if you need to level the ground, install a drainage system, or order special concrete materials. Installing a driveway also often requires a permit, so be sure to include this wait into your prep time as well.</p></div>

Q: Which surfaces are scorpions unable to climb?

• <div><p>Scorpions have difficulty climbing smooth, non-porous surfaces like clean glass or polished metal because their pincers and feet cannot grip the surface effectively. While they are excellent climbers on rough or textured materials such as wood, stucco, or brick, slick surfaces prevent them from gaining traction or anchoring themselves. If you're trying to scorpion-proof parts of your home, using smooth materials for barriers or containers can be an effective deterrent strategy.</p></div>

Q: Are there any alternatives to deck footings?

• <div><p>Deck pier blocks are one alternative to traditional deck footings. Unlike poured concrete and buried post footings, deck blocks <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/deck-footings-no-digging.htm">don&rsquo;t require digging</a> or pouring. They&rsquo;re best for small or low-to-the-ground decks. Keep in mind, though, that not all areas allow the use of deck pier blocks, so consult your local building codes before choosing them for your deck.</p></div>

Great Service. Done on time and under budget. Power washed and stained my deck. Referred him to the neighbor and she was pleased with the power washing he did on the steps going down the hill and her patio

This project was signed for in June and they still have not completed it. It has leaked water onto the particle board floor so many times I can not count! The workers just wanted to caulk the leaks and leave the ruined floor. I finally contacted a lawyer. I paid $66,000 for this sunroom...

We received two other quotes only for the retaining walls, thinking that anything more than just walls would not be affordable. Mark Winters at LandArc Studios went a different direction than the other two and suggested we use boulders in areas where we could, in order to save money. We spent a...

I would not recommend this company. They were very unprofessional and the quality of their work was lacking (to say the least). We hired Infinity HI to install a 6' sliding patio door to replace a traditional swinging entry door. They began the morning by starting to cut a hole in the wrong...

Ed Drozdowski (owner) and crew seemed friendly and hardworking, and while the patio looked good until the last step (sealing the concrete) the finished product was a disaster. I paid Ed in full on the last day as the sealing was occurring. The crew didn't know how much sealant to use and put...

Randy was awesome. He arrived a few minutes late, but was very apologetic. He warned me beforehand that his inspections usually last six hours, so I let the realtor know. She was very surprised and had to leave about three hours into the inspection. Randy took the time to point out concerns he...
