Get matched with top patio pros in Minto, ND

Q: How far apart do you put stepping stones?

• <div><p>Stepping stones should match an average human stride, so the general rule is to place them about 24 inches between stones. However, many designs put stones closer together. If you choose to plant in between them, leave at least 6 to 8 inches between stones to give plants room to grow.</p></div>

Q: Who do I hire to install stamped concrete?

• <div><p>Many concrete companies that handle installing concrete slabs or standard concrete patios can also install stamped concrete, but you can also hire a company that specializes in stamped concrete. These textured concrete surfaces take some finesse to get right, and choosing a company that concentrates on stamped concrete patios and walkways is a good way to ensure the finished product looks top-notch. Additionally, specialists in stamped concrete will likely have more texture options that suit your preferences, like riverstone, sandstone, yorkstone, and cobblestone.</p></div>

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: Do gazebos need a slab of concrete?

• <div><p>Most gazebos need a <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/concrete-slab-cost.htm">concrete slab</a> for a secure, long-lasting, and durable gazebo. Whether or not your gazebo needs a slab of concrete depends on the type of gazebo you&rsquo;re building. Some gazebos have a built-in base or use other base materials, including wooden decks, paver slabs, or concrete footings.</p></div>

Q: Are stone steps cheaper than concrete?

• <div><p>Stone steps are often more expensive than concrete steps as they are specially cut and installed, on top of the material costs. Concrete is more readily available as many steps are precast, although custom-poured concrete steps are an option more similar in price to stone steps.</p></div>

"I wish I could give Innovative Basement Authority a negative rating. Run away from this company as fast as you can. Beware- they are changing their name to Ground Works. Probably because of all the negative reviews. We paid a substantial amount of money to install one of their basement systems after having water problems. The initial sales guy was a very high-pressure seller, trying to get us to sign a contract the same day he came out. Fast forward a year. They told us they needed to come out for an inspection. The sales guy ?found? $40,000 work of additional work that was ?urgent?. He used scare-tactics and tried to convince us we needed to sign on the dotted line immediately. Because of course mold is going to make my family sick. It seemed sketchy to me, but I was able to get the guy to leave without us signing that day. I immediately called our trusted home inspector, and he said the sales guy was trying to sell us things we did not need. He also said he had talked to others"
