Q: Can I DIY patio installation?

• <div><p>While patio installation requires some heavy equipment to excavate the area and compact the soil, you can learn <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/6-questions-ask-building-diy-patio.htm">how to do a DIY patio installation</a> and potentially save money versus hiring a pro to do the work. You should be familiar with taking measurements and doing calculations to determine the right amount of materials, and you&rsquo;ll need to be comfortable working with the necessary equipment.</p></div>

Q: How thick do stair treads need to be?

• <div><p>Standard residential stair treads need to be at least 1 inch thick. Open staircases without risers must be at least 1-1/2 inches thick. </p><p> </p></div>

Q: How do you fix a bad concrete patio?

• <div><p>The repair method for a damaged concrete patio depends on the type of damage. For surface cracks, a concrete crack filler is a quick and simple fix. For larger cracks or uneven slabs, you may need to hire a professional to pump a cementitious material under the sunken portion to lift it back into place. For heavy spalling and other surface damage, resurfacing may be the best and most affordable option. This includes pouring a new layer of concrete over the old layer.</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: 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>
