Q: Does patio installation require a permit?

• <div><p>In many cases, you will need a <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/do-i-really-need-building-permit.htm">building permit</a> for your patio, but it depends on the type of patio. Generally speaking, any improvements to your land considered &ldquo;permanent&rdquo; will require a permit. Since a concrete patio is a permanent foundation, you will need a permit. On the other hand, a paver patio or flagstone patio usually sits over gravel and sand, are considered &ldquo;temporary&rdquo; improvements, and rarely require permits. To be safe, you should always ask your building department or your patio company if a permit will be necessary.</p></div>

Q: How much does it cost to build a patio with a fire pit?

• <div><p>To build a patio with a built-in fire pit, expect to pay an average of <b>$6,750</b>. The <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-does-it-cost-install-patio.htm">cost to build a patio</a> alone is an average of <b>$3,500</b>. Although the cost of construction is higher, the patio and fire pit combination offers a better resale value than a patio alone or a patio with a fire pit add-on.</p></div>

Q: Why remove grass before pouring concrete?

• <div><p>Concrete should not be poured directly over grass, as this will impede the necessary tension of the concrete. Grass and soil can draw in moisture, leading to potential cracking. For a solid, lasting foundation, the area must be flat, firm, and completely dry.</p></div>

Q: Are there eco-friendly concrete options?

• <div><p>Yes, including sustainable mixes and reflective surfaces to reduce heat absorption.</p></div>

Q: The cost to pour a driveway apron depends on the material and size

• <div><p>The cost to pour a driveway apron depends on the material and size. Concrete costs <b>$3 to $10 per square foot</b>, asphalt ranges from<b> $2 to $5</b>, and pavers are <b>$5 to $15 per square foot.</b> Additional expenses, like excavation, base material, and labor, can increase the total cost. For example, a standard 12x15-foot concrete apron could cost between <b>$540 and $1,800</b>, depending on local rates and additional work required.
