Frequently asked in Durham

Is it cheaper to lay concrete or pavers?

Individual pavers can be replaced if damaged, saving you from costly resurfacing of an entire concrete slab. The pros can discuss the long-term value proposition for your specific Durham project.

Do I really need sand under pavers?

Yes, a layer of bedding sand is crucial for a properly installed paver patio in Durham. This sand layer provides a smooth, level surface for the pavers, allows for necessary drainage, and helps to prevent shifting caused by ground movement. The pros understand the precise depth and type of sand required.
