Frequently asked in Des Moines

Is it cheaper to lay concrete or pavers?

Stamped concrete typically has a lower initial cost than pavers. However, pavers offer long-term advantages in durability and ease of repair for isolated issues. The pros can discuss which option provides the best value for your Des Moines property.

Where is the cheapest place to buy pavers?

For Des Moines residents, exploring local landscape supply yards and connecting with paver manufacturers directly often yields the best prices. Bulk purchases can also lead to discounts. The specialists you connect with can offer advice on sourcing.

Do I really need sand under pavers?

Yes, a bedding layer of sand is critical for paver installations. It creates a smooth, level surface and allows for proper drainage, which is essential for preventing movement due to freeze-thaw cycles common in Des Moines. This ensures longevity.
