Q: Is it less expensive to lay concrete or pavers?

• <div><p>While it may be less expensive initially to lay <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/pavers-vs-concrete-patio.htm">concrete vs. pavers</a>, the long-term expenses that come with repairing concrete may prove to be less cost-friendly than simply replacing a few damaged pavers. On top of that, stamped concrete may only last for 25 years compared to pavers, which can last over 50 years.</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: 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: Is it better to remove a concrete slab before laying pavers?

• <div><p>It&rsquo;s far more labor-intensive and expensive to demolish a concrete slab before laying down pavers. You&rsquo;ll need a professional to break up and haul away the concrete, excavate underneath, bring in paver base or crushed gravel, and then level the area with leveling sand before laying the pavers. A new <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/brick-paver-patio-cost.htm">paver patio will cost</a> around <b>$1,000 to $2,000</b>, which is more than laying pavers over a concrete patio, and takes longer to complete.</p></div>

Q: What happens if water gets under pavers?

• <div><p>Water that pools under pavers can erode the soil foundation and weaken the paver structure. In some situations, it can also cause mold and mildew growth. If that happens, you may need to start budgeting for the <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-does-it-cost-install-patio.htm">cost to build and install a patio</a> to replace the damaged one. </p></div>
