Get matched with top concrete patio pros in Casselton, ND

Q: What happens if you don't put gravel under concrete?

• <div><p>If you don&rsquo;t put gravel under concrete, the concrete can crack, sink, bow, or crumble. Even the <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/concrete-forming.htm">concrete forming</a> process will not go as smoothly if you are working directly on the soil or bare bedrock. The lack of a proper gravel layer can also lead to drainage issues below your slab, leading to water issues throughout your lawn and around your foundation.</p></div>

Q: Are concrete porches less expensive than wood?

• <div><p>A concrete porch costs about $2 to $10 per square foot upfront, while a wood porch costs about $4 to $30 per square foot, making concrete less expensive upfront. However, wood requires much more maintenance than concrete, so you&rsquo;ll need to consider the costs of staining, painting, and resealing the porch every few years, which makes wood more expensive in the long run.</p></div>

Q: How much weight can I put on my concrete patio?

• <div><p>A properly installed 6-inch concrete slab, mixed and cured under the right conditions, can support about 3,000 pounds concentrated over a single square foot without buckling. Conversely, concrete pavers can handle around 8,000 pounds per square inch when laid over a solid, well-compacted base. </p></div>

Q: What is the standard rise and run of stairs?

• <div><p>It depends on whether you&rsquo;re looking at residential or commercial buildings. For residential buildings, the 2018 International Residential Code asks for a maximum riser (or rise) height of 7 3/4 inches and a minimum tread depth (or run) of 10 inches.</p><p>For fixed stairs in commercial buildings, OSHA requires a rise between 6 and 7.5 inches, with a run between 10 and 14 inches. The standards are different for spiral staircases.</p></div>

Q: Does a concrete walkway or sidewalk need rebar?

• <div><p>Whether a concrete walkway or sidewalk needs rebar depends on how it will be used. Walkways and sidewalks meant for light foot traffic don&rsquo;t need rebar, and you can use wire mesh instead. But concrete surfaces that will see heavy machinery will likely need it.</p></div>
