Is stamped concrete more budget-friendly than pavers?

• <div><p>Yes, in most cases, stamped concrete, which costs an average of <b>$12 per square foot</b>, tends to be <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/why-choose-pavers-over-stamped-concrete.htm">more affordable than laying pavers</a>. This is especially true if you’re comparing stamped concrete to brick pavers, which cost between <b>$8 to $50 per square foot</b>. With the right design choices, you can closely mimic the look of brick using stamped concrete. </p></div>

What is the maximum height difference between interlocking pavers?

• <div><p>The maximum lippage or height difference between interlocking pavers is 1/8 inch or 3 millimeters. Any higher than that could become a hazard or impact the area’s ability to drain water properly. Some building codes or <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/interlocking-paver-types.htm">types of interlocking pavers</a> could require even less of a height difference, so check with your local regulations and the manufacturer to clarify.</p></div>

Q: What are permeable pavers?

• <div><p>If you're designing a new patio in an area with poor drainage, permeable pavers made from porous materials may help prevent water issues. Most permeable pavers feature a gravel-only aggregate base instead of a concrete base to allow water to flow through instead of getting trapped. While beneficial in some cases, permeable pavers come with higher initial costs and greater load-bearing limitations compared to traditional pavers. </p></div>

Q: Can you walk or drive on pavers after sealing them?

• <div><p>You can walk on newly sealed pavers as long as they&rsquo;ve had enough time to dry and cure&mdash;typically after 24 hours for patios and walkways. Even so, don&rsquo;t rush it. Humidity, temperature, and the type of sealant you use can stretch that window up to 72 hours. Rushing it can leave footprints or even damage the finish, especially if the surface hasn&rsquo;t fully hardened. For driveways, wait at least three full days before parking or driving over them. Always check your sealant label for the most accurate timeline, since not all products cure the same way. </p></div>

Q: Is it better to remove a concrete slab before laying pavers?

• <div><p>It&rsquo;s far more labor-intensive and expensive to demolish a concrete slab before laying down pavers. You&rsquo;ll need a professional to break up and haul away the concrete, excavate underneath, bring in paver base or crushed gravel, and then level the area with leveling sand before laying the pavers. A new <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/brick-paver-patio-cost.htm">paver patio will cost</a> around <b>$1,000 to $2,000</b>, which is more than laying pavers over a concrete patio, and takes longer to complete.</p></div>
