Frequently asked in Durham

Is it cheaper to lay concrete or pavers?

The cost comparison between concrete and pavers for your Durham patio isn't always a simple one. While concrete might have a lower upfront material cost, pavers often provide better long-term value due to their durability and ease of repair. The specific paver style and design complexity will significantly impact the final price. We'll give you a clear quote.

Where is the cheapest place to buy pavers?

Do I really need sand under pavers?

Yes, a layer of sand is essential for proper paver installation. This sand bed provides a level surface for the pavers and allows for crucial drainage, preventing shifting and unevenness over time, especially with Durham's weather patterns. Without it, your patio can quickly deteriorate. The pros ensure this is done correctly.
