Frequently asked in Chicago

Is it cheaper to lay concrete or pavers?

The initial cost for concrete might be lower for a simple slab. However, pavers often provide better long-term value through their durability and repairability. Pros can discuss the lifecycle costs for your Chicago project.

Where is the cheapest place to buy pavers?

For the best prices on pavers in Chicago, explore local landscape supply yards. They often have better bulk pricing than large retailers. Remember to factor in delivery costs to your specific location. The pros can advise on sourcing.

Do I really need sand under pavers?

Yes, a well-prepared base with paver sand is critical. This sand layer ensures a level surface for the pavers and allows for necessary drainage, preventing shifting and frost heave, which is important in Chicago's climate. It's a fundamental step for longevity.
