Q: Can you pour concrete if it rained the day before?

• <div><p>Yes, you can pour concrete if it rained the day before, but you&rsquo;ll need to drain the construction site to ensure there isn&rsquo;t standing water where your slab will sit. You might need to manually remove any puddles and set up drainage on your site to dry it before pouring. Moist soil won&rsquo;t be an issue, but standing water will throw off your concrete mix ratios. Additionally, ensure there isn&rsquo;t more rain expected in the near future before you pour.</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. 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.</p></div>

Q: The cost to pour a driveway apron depends on the material and size

• <div><p>The cost to pour a driveway apron depends on the material and size. Concrete costs <b>$3 to $10 per square foot</b>, asphalt ranges from<b> $2 to $5</b>, and pavers are <b>$5 to $15 per square foot.</b> Additional expenses, like excavation, base material, and labor, can increase the total cost. For example, a standard 12x15-foot concrete apron could cost between <b>$540 and $1,800</b>, depending on local rates and additional work required. Always consult a <a href="https://www.angi.com/nearme/driveway-paving/">local driveway paving contractor</a> to get an accurate estimate tailored to your project.</p></div>

Q: How long do concrete pathways last?

• <div><p>A concrete pathway is very durable and can last upward of 30 years under normal conditions. Heavy snowfall and excessive heat may decrease this lifespan over time, as can vehicle traffic and salt applications during freezing conditions. Homeowners in extreme climates might notice cracking and deterioration after just 15 years, while those in more temperate climates should see multiple decades of life from their concrete. </p></div>

Q: Can you make stepping stones yourself?

• <div><p>You can make a variety of stepping stone designs yourself, including concrete, wood, mosaic, and stone. Some home improvement centers and craft supply stores sell kits to make mosaic stepping stones for around $15. If you need more than one stone, the cost of these kits can add up quickly, but they make a great weekend project and add uniqueness to your garden.</p></div>

Adelino did a great job replacing my front steps. He was respectful a fair price and the best mason person around. He then fixed my bricks on my back patio. They also cleaned up and made the place better than they started.
