Can I do concrete work myself?

• <div><p>For handy homeowners, concrete projects are DIYable, and DIYing is a good way to save on the <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/concrete-slab-cost.htm">cost of a concrete slab</a>, walkway, or other concrete work. If you’re completing a larger project or one that’s subject to building codes, you should always hire a professional to ensure the job is done safely and correctly. </p></div>

Are there alternatives to pea gravel?

• <div><p>Alternative landscaping materials similar to pea gravel include wood chips, decomposed granite, crushed stone, and pebbles. You can also invest in specialty <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/rock-landscaping-ideas-your-backyard.htm">landscape rocks</a> such as quartz, river rock, lava rock, and Mexican beach pebble. While many of these stones will cost more than pea gravel, some are more ideal for designing an attractive garden bed or managing drainage.</p></div>

Q: Who do I hire to install stamped concrete?

• <div><p>Many concrete companies that handle installing concrete slabs or standard concrete patios can also install stamped concrete, but you can also hire a company that specializes in stamped concrete. These textured concrete surfaces take some finesse to get right, and choosing a company that concentrates on stamped concrete patios and walkways is a good way to ensure the finished product looks top-notch. Additionally, specialists in stamped concrete will likely have more texture options that suit your preferences, like riverstone, sandstone, yorkstone, and cobblestone.</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: 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>

They charge $400 for homeowners, and about the same for each of my two autos. I would change if I found a better price, which I haven't. I have not had anything other than just paying the premium. The price is the best I found. I have not had any reason to use it. It is a good company.
