Q: Does a paver patio cost less than a concrete slab?

• <div><p>When comparing <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/brick-vs-flagstone-patio.htm">pavers versus a concrete</a> patio, paver patios tend to be more costly than their concrete counterparts. However, the total cost depends on the type of materials you use and the size of the patio. If your patio needs repairs, a paver patio will be easier and less costly to fix, even though it&rsquo;s more expensive upfront. Plus, a paver patio won&rsquo;t bump up your property taxes, while a concrete patio will.</p></div>

Q: Can I install my own patio?

• <div><p>It&rsquo;s technically possible to install your own patio, but we don&rsquo;t recommend it. Installing a patio is labor- and time-intensive, and getting the end product to look professional demands patience and experience. Not only can mistakes lead to unevenness in your patio and expensive repairs, but not grading the surface properly can cause issues with water management, potentially leading to leaks in your home, foundation damage, and flooding. It&rsquo;s more expensive to hire a patio company, but it&rsquo;s usually well worth the investment to avoid costly mistakes.</p></div>

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: How much does installing commercial concrete patios, walks, or steps cost?

• <div><p>The costs range from $8 to $20 per square foot, depending on the design complexity, reinforcement needs, and surface finish.</p></div>

Q: What happens if you don't put gravel under concrete?

• <div><p>If you don&rsquo;t put gravel under concrete, the concrete can crack, sink, bow, or crumble. Even the <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/concrete-forming.htm">concrete forming</a> process will not go as smoothly if you are working directly on the soil or bare bedrock. The lack of a proper gravel layer can also lead to drainage issues below your slab, leading to water issues throughout your lawn and around your foundation.</p></div>
