Frequently asked in Des Moines

Is it cheaper to lay concrete or pavers?

While concrete may have a lower upfront cost, pavers often offer better long-term value due to their durability and ease of repair. The specialists can provide a detailed cost comparison for your Des Moines project. They'll explain how material selection and site preparation influence the total investment.

Where is the cheapest place to buy pavers?

The most cost-effective places to buy pavers are typically local landscape supply yards or through contractors who can leverage bulk pricing. The crew coming to your home can offer advice on sourcing materials efficiently for your Des Moines patio project.

Do I really need sand under pavers?

Yes, a layer of bedding sand is absolutely essential. It creates a level surface for laying the pavers and is critical for proper drainage, which is vital in our climate. The pros will explain why this step is non-negotiable for a stable, long-lasting patio.
