Get matched with top patio pros in Neshanic Station, NJ

Q: Do you need a concrete base for a pergola?

• <div><p>A concrete base&mdash;or concrete footings, more specifically&mdash;is necessary for a freestanding pergola build. A pergola is top-heavy and can&rsquo;t stand on its own, so it will always need some type of base or support. If you&rsquo;re attaching a pergola to a deck, the deck&rsquo;s supportive joists will act as the support, so there will be no concrete base or footings necessary.</p></div>

Q: How long should I wait to walk or drive on the repaired area?

• <div><p>If you used regular jointing sand, you can typically walk on the repaired area right away. If you used polymeric sand, wait at least <b>24 hours</b> before walking on it and <b>48 to 72 hours</b> before driving over it, depending on the weather. Polymeric sand needs time to fully cure and lock the pavers in place.</p></div>

Q: What are the most important questions to ask a concrete contractor?

• <div><p>Do some research before hiring a concrete contractor . Consider asking whether the contractor is insured, if they can provide references of past clients you can contact, and if this type of work requires a permit. Another potential question is how long they guarantee their work.</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>

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>

Denis arranged his schedule to accommodate us. He and his team worked hard through the heat wave. They did a fantastic job integrating the new patio to the older patio. We have already spent a lot of time in our new outdoor living space.
