Q: Are concrete porches less expensive than wood?

• <div><p>A concrete porch costs about $2 to $10 per square foot upfront, while a wood porch costs about $4 to $30 per square foot, making concrete less expensive upfront. However, wood requires much more maintenance than concrete, so you&rsquo;ll need to consider the costs of staining, painting, and resealing the porch every few years, which makes wood more expensive in the long run.</p></div>

Q: Can you make stepping stones yourself?

• <div><p>You can make a variety of stepping stone designs yourself, including concrete, wood, mosaic, and stone. Some home improvement centers and craft supply stores sell kits to make mosaic stepping stones for around $15. If you need more than one stone, the cost of these kits can add up quickly, but they make a great weekend project and add uniqueness to your garden.</p></div>

Q: How long does it take to build a concrete driveway?

• <div><p>Building a concrete driveway normally takes between one and three days, including the time to cure the concrete. Wait at least seven days <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-long-before-drive-on-concrete.htm">before driving on your driveway</a> and two days before walking on it. Your contractor may require additional time if you need to level the ground, install a drainage system, or order special concrete materials. Installing a driveway also often requires a permit, so be sure to include this wait into your prep time as well.</p></div>

Q: What is the difference between a balcony and a patio?

• <div><p>Balconies and patios are both outdoor living spaces, but that&rsquo;s where the similarities end. A balcony is an open space built on the second story of a home, while a patio is a structure built directly on the ground in front of or behind a house. Patios tend to be larger than balconies and are often made from concrete, stone, or brick. <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/deck-vs-patio-which-works-better.htm">Decks and patios</a> share a similar nature but still have distinct differences. </p></div>

Q: How much does it cost to install a patio?

• <div><p>The average <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-does-it-cost-install-patio.htm#">cost to install a patio</a> is around <b>$4,000</b>, but you could spend anywhere from <b>$800 to $14,000</b> or more.
