Can you put pavers over concrete?

• <div><p><a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/why-installing-pavers-over-concrete-bad-idea.htm">You can put pavers over concrete</a> following a similar procedure as above, but there are a few additional risks you need to be aware of—like stability, drainage, and the patio’s thickness. Once you lay a paver patio over concrete, it will be nearly impossible to treat any issues that your concrete may face, like cracks or water pooling. So while you may save some time and money on concrete removal and site prep, it may cost you more in the long run.</p></div>

What is the cost of natural stone pavers vs. porcelain pavers?

• <div><p>The cost depends on the type of natural stone. High-end stones can cost as much as porcelain, but it depends on the specific material. For example, the <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/what-are-common-flagstone-prices.htm">cost of flagstone pavers</a> is typically <b>$2 to $6 per square foot</b>,<b> </b>which is much more budget-friendly than porcelain<b>. </b>Outdoor slate tile can cost as much as<b> $35 per square foot</b>,<b> </b>which is about the same as porcelain.</p></div>

Q: Do you have to remove pavers to add new paver sand?

• <div><p>No, paver removal isn't needed to redo polymeric sand in a walkway or patio. Sand can be packed into existing joints as long as you're not dealing with intrusive tree roots or other severe<a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/solutions-most-common-paver-problems.htm"> paver problems</a> that require you to pry up your pavers. </p></div>

Q: What is the minimum angle for a driveway?

• <div><p>Driveways should be sloped with a minimum 2% slope&mdash;anything lower will cause precipitation and runoff to collect. A 2% slope is the equivalent of a 2-foot rise over 100 feet. One quick way to check the integrity of your driveway&rsquo;s slope: no more than four inches of water should collect on the surface longer than 15 minutes after rain.</p></div>

Q: What are permeable pavers?

• <div><p>If you're designing a new patio in an area with poor drainage, permeable pavers made from porous materials may help prevent water issues. Most permeable pavers feature a gravel-only aggregate base instead of a concrete base to allow water to flow through instead of getting trapped. While beneficial in some cases, permeable pavers come with higher initial costs and greater load-bearing limitations compared to traditional pavers. </p></div>
