Q: Can you pour concrete when it freezes at night?

• <div><p>It&rsquo;s possible to pour concrete if the temperatures are expected to dip below freezing at night, but you need to take some special precautions before you do. Most importantly, you need to make sure your concrete won&rsquo;t freeze, so the best thing to do is enclose the area and heat it. You should also make sure you&rsquo;re using cold-weather concrete that&rsquo;s designed for pouring in cold weather. Use accelerants to help speed up the curing process and avoid cold temperatures from resulting in weak concrete. </p></div>

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: Is a 20% slope too steep for a driveway?

• <div><p>While some areas may allow for a slope of up to 20%, this is often the maximum slope for driveways, with a few exceptions of up to 25%. Other regions may have a maximum of 12%, 15%, or 18%, so check with your local building department to ensure you&rsquo;re laying a driveway that is up to code for your location. </p></div>
