Patios questions, answered by experts
Concrete should not be poured directly over grass, as this will impede the necessary tension of the concrete. Grass and soil can draw in moisture, leading to potential cracking. For a solid, lasting foundation, the area must be flat, firm, and completely dry.
In most cases, patios are an outstanding investment, typically providing a return on investment 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. Once you sell your home, buyers typically love to see patios and outdoor entertainment areas and may be willing to pay more for your home if your patio is well-maintained. The only thing to keep in mind is that patios may be a drawback if they take up too much of a small yard.
Decks are generally more expensive to build because they require elevating and railings. The difference between decks and patios is that decks are elevated, while patios are usually on the ground level. Plus, decks are usually made of wood and need more maintenance than most patios. However, decks and patios serve the same purpose, providing outdoor space for you to enjoy.
You should have at least 4 to 6 inches of compactable base under your concrete slab. Your contractor may recommend more depending on the structure.
Concrete steps need concrete footings, which is a type of foundation. They are made of concrete with rebar reinforcement poured into a trench. The footings support the stairs, spread the vertical load, and prevent the steps from sinking. Footings need to be below the maximum depth that the ground freezes, typically at least 42 inches in depth.
