Q: Do masons pour concrete?

• <div><p>In most cases, yes, masons can build concrete forms and pour concrete for a variety of home improvement projects, including foundation pouring. Some masons may prefer to focus on more aesthetic and artistic masonry work, like building retaining walls, crafting custom fireplaces, tiling, or installing stucco siding, but most also have experience pouring concrete. You can always <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/questions-ask-masonry-contractor.htm">ask your masonry contractor</a> if they also handle poured concrete projects.</p></div>

Q: Should I install concrete, stone, or brick pavers?

• <div><p>Deciding between <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/brick-vs-flagstone-patio.htm">concrete, stone, or brick pavers</a> comes down to your budget and the ease of installation. Concrete is the least expensive material, followed by brick and then natural stone. Concrete pavers are also the easiest to install, but bricks are relatively easy as well. Stone pavers require more time and labor because their natural shapes make them harder to fit together. Professional stoneworkers, however, are able to shape them as needed.</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 steps need a foundation?

• <div><p>Concrete steps need concrete footings, which is a type of foundation. They are made of concrete with rebar reinforcement poured into a trench. The footings support the stairs, spread the vertical load, and prevent the steps from sinking. Footings need to be below the maximum depth that the ground freezes, typically at least 42 inches in depth.</p></div>

Q: Does patio installation require a permit?

• <div><p>In many cases, you will need a <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/do-i-really-need-building-permit.htm">building permit</a> for your patio, but it depends on the type of patio. Generally speaking, any improvements to your land considered &ldquo;permanent&rdquo; will require a permit. Since a concrete patio is a permanent foundation, you will need a permit. On the other hand, a paver patio or flagstone patio usually sits over gravel and sand, are considered &ldquo;temporary&rdquo; improvements, and rarely require permits. To be safe, you should always ask your building department or your patio company if a permit will be necessary.</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.

The sheeting was bent to force in instead of cutting to fit. Where the sheets were bent they now sag and leak. Screw holes made by missing studs left open to pour water. Rain water completely bypasses the gutters and pours water onto the patio. Improperly installed. Came on a rainy day to caulk...
