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>

Do you wet the sand before laying pavers?

• <div><p>Yes, you should lightly wet the sand with a hose before laying the pavers on top. This activates the bonding agents in the sand, ensuring that your pavers don’t shift around during the installation process. However, you should make sure that the sand is not soaked; overwatering can cause the sand and pavers to not set properly.</p></div>

Q: How many feet is a driveway apron?

• <div><p>Driveway aprons range between 15 and 18 feet long and 12 and 24 feet wide. However, both measurements depend on the width of your driveway and the distance between the end of the driveway and the road. In some cases, you will not be responsible for any apron that goes beyond the sidewalk, but it depends on local laws. </p></div>

Q: How thick should sand be under pavers?

• <div><p>There should be a 1-inch thick layer of sand underneath your pavers in order to provide a proper base.</p></div>
