What adds more value: a concrete driveway or an asphalt driveway?

• <div><p>Asphalt driveways are less expensive to install, but concrete driveways will add more value to your home over time. Because concrete is more durable and has a longer lifespan than asphalt, it’s considered a more desirable driveway material. Both materials will add more value than a gravel driveway, but concrete wins out due to its strength and longevity.</p></div>

How much does concrete cost?

• <div><p>The average cost of concrete for stairs or slabs is between <b>$110 and $150 per cubic yard</b>, or between roughly <b>$4 and $5.50 per cubic foot</b> for materials. Installation, form building, form materials, and preparation will increase the cost to between <b>$150 and $200 or more per cubic yard</b>. </p></div>

Q: Is underlayment necessary for hardwood floors on concrete?

• <div><p>Underlayment is the barrier between the concrete floor and the hardwood flooring. Adding this barrier is a vital step when installing hardwood over concrete, and it&rsquo;s essential for protecting the wood from moisture coming from the concrete. Some adhesives are also manufactured to contain a moisture barrier that can protect hardwood from moisture, even if it&rsquo;s glued directly to the concrete.</p></div>

Q: How long do fence posts last in concrete?

• <div><p>A fence post set in concrete lasts anywhere from five to over 25 years, depending on how well the concrete was applied and the fence post&rsquo;s material. Untreated wood posts in concrete could last less than 10 years, but a durable, treated wood set in properly applied concrete could last a few decades. However, all fence posts will wear out eventually, so expect to need to <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-replace-a-fence-post.htm">replace your fence post</a> every five to 15 years.</p></div>

Q: Does a pergola need to be on concrete?

• <div><p>A pergola needs to be anchored, and typically, concrete is the best anchor option. Pergolas should be anchored to a concrete slab or concrete footings, and this is commonly required by municipal building codes. When applying for a permit to install a pergola, be sure to check the anchoring requirements as well.</p></div>
