Q: What size gravel should you put under a concrete slab?

• <div><p>You should put gravel that is 3/4 to 1 inch under a concrete slab. However, depending on the project, local building codes may dictate the proper gravel size and shape. Some concrete slabs that do not hold significant weight may have a subbase of sand. Also, keep in mind that the subbase you choose will affect the <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-does-concrete-patio-cost-square-foot.htm">cost of your concrete patio</a>, walkway, or driveway. </p></div>

Q: What is the proper rise and run for stairs?

• <div><p>The <a href="https://www.iccsafe.org/">International Building Code</a> requires individual step risers in a residential staircase to measure between 4 and 7-3/4 inches and the maximum rise of a staircase not to exceed 12 feet between landings. Individual step treads can&rsquo;t be less than 10 inches deep. </p></div>

Q: What is the easiest way to build your own patio?

• <div><p>A simple square paver patio is the easiest long-lasting patio to install. With this basic shape, you won&rsquo;t have to worry about curvatures in the design or having to cut pavers to fit. You could also opt for the gravel patio, but as noted, it can be messy and you will have to refill the gravel regularly as shoes and pet paws drag it out of its intended area.</p></div>

Q: Do you need rebar in concrete steps?

• <div><p>Yes, concrete steps need rebar to reinforce the structure and ensure it can hold weight over time. Place a lattice of rebar inside the form before pouring concrete to give the steps their maximum strength. Tie each intersection together with rebar ties to hold the structure all together. Without rebar, concrete steps can sink, crumble, and lose their longevity.</p></div>

Q: How much do stairs cost?

• <div><p>The short answer is that the <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-does-building-stairs-and-railings-cost.htm">cost to build a staircase</a> largely depends on what material they&rsquo;re made out of and how many you need. Wood stairs cost about <b>$50 to $100 per step</b> for materials alone, while labor costs an additional<b> $100 to $250 per step</b>. The cost increases for more expensive materials such as glass or concrete. </p></div>
