Does a concrete walkway or sidewalk need rebar?

Q: How long does a concrete patio last on average?

• <div><p>A concrete patio lasts an average of 30 years, but the length of life you&rsquo;ll get from yours depends largely on the climate. In harsh conditions, including excessive rainfall and snowfall, a concrete patio may only last for 15 years. In a moderate climate and with non-expansive, supportive soil below, a concrete patio could last for up to 50 years.</p></div>

Q: Can you put too much rebar in concrete?

• <div><p>Yes, you can put too much rebar in concrete. Too much reinforcement can cause strain in the concrete, leading to cracking. Air pockets can also form in the gaps between rebar when concrete fails to fill the space properly. The placement and installation of rebar is a specialized skill, so consult an experienced pro before proceeding.</p></div>

Q: What lasts longer: concrete or cement?

• <div><p>Concrete lasts much longer than cement, as it can withstand heavy loads and harsh weather conditions. Concrete can last for over 100 years under most conditions. Cement cracks and crumbles when used independently, but it is an important ingredient of building materials such as concrete and mortar. You use cement and other ingredients to make concrete.</p></div>

Q: Is concrete cheaper than pavers?

• <div><p>On average, concrete costs less than pavers for the same project. Standard broom-finished concrete costs from <b>$2 to $15 per square foot</b>. Stamped concrete costs between <b>$8 to $28 per square foot</b>. On the other hand, pavers cost from $8 to $50 per square foot. For any of these materials, the cost depends on which concrete finish or paver you choose. Keep in mind that the layout complexity, amount of site preparation, and location factor into the cost, too.</p></div>

The whole process was very smooth considering how many unexpected situations popped up. When I tore up the old tiles i damaged the underlying concrete so badly that Euro Painting had to put down a self leveling cement to make the process possible. I was offered the choice of doing this myself or...

I was happy with them because Chris offered some suggestions to make the yard work better for me. But the options are not probably the best for my needs. The gravel and mulch areas are great and the drip system seem to be working just fine but the mulch may not be a good choice for my dogs since...
