Q: What do you put between pavers and concrete?

• <div><p>You should place a layer of thick landscaping fabric directly over the concrete slab and then a thin layer of leveling sand over that to protect the pavers from moisture. For border pavers, you should plan on locking them in place with polyurethane adhesive. This will prevent them from shifting under foot traffic.</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 base is needed under a concrete slab?

• <div><p>You should have at least <b>4 to 6 inches</b> of compactable base under your concrete slab. Your contractor may recommend more depending on the structure.</p></div>

Q: Are patios a good investment?

• <div><p>In most cases, patios are an outstanding investment, typically providing a <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/remodeling-projects-highest-roi.htm">return on investment</a> of between 80% and 90%. Patios provide a dedicated place to relax and entertain, so you and your family will enjoy them until you sell your home.
