Q: What are the parts of the driveway approach?

• <div><p>A driveway approach is the part of a driveway where the public road meets the private driveway. This section contains several key elements, including the driveway apron, the curb cut, and the end slope. Depending on the slope of the driveway, this area may also contain the trench drain. </p></div>

Q: Is a concrete patio cheaper than a deck?

• <div><p>No, a deck is more expensive than a concrete patio. The <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-does-it-cost-build-deck.htm">cost to build a deck</a> is between $4,200 and $11,700, or about $7,900 on average. This makes the average deck cost roughly twice as much as the average cost to build a concrete patio. Concrete patios also have far greater longevity and are easier to maintain. </p></div>

Q: Is it better to have a deck or a concrete patio?

• <div><p>The average ROI you&rsquo;ll see from a deck or a concrete patio is 70%, so from a value-add perspective, they&rsquo;re about the same. However, decks are around double the price of a concrete patio, they require significantly more maintenance, and they have a lifespan of 10 to 15 years, about half of what you&rsquo;d see from a concrete patio. As such, a concrete patio is a better option in terms of up-front cost, long-term maintenance, and ROI.</p></div>

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: Is fiber concrete good for a driveway?

• <div><p>Fiber concrete can be a good option for a residential driveway that will hold up standard passenger cars. The fibers provide increased flexion over a rebar-reinforced concrete driveway, so you&rsquo;re less likely to see surface cracks. For driveways that need to hold commercial vehicles or multiple vehicles, rebar reinforcement is a better option. Ask a <a href="https://www.angi.com/nearme/concrete-driveways/">concrete driveway company near you</a> which is the best option for your situation.</p></div>

Pazcualâ s workers do a good job, work hard in all temperatures. We really appreciate their work ethic. Communication is sometimes not prompt and billing is not detailed at times. Pascual and his team did a very nice job on a new stone plantar and patio grill platform.

Bret and his crew were helpful in making sure he created the vision of what I had in my head. He worked with the schedule of my gazebo contractor and made sure the gazebo and patio got seamlessly together. Overall, 10/10 and highly recommended.

I could not be happier with how this project turned out. Carlos actually listened to what we wanted rather than trying to sell us a solution that fit the company template. We wanted a sunroom; not a patio enclosure. The work was fast, the workers were both talented and extremely polite, and...
