Frequently asked in Kansas City
Is it cheaper to lay concrete or pavers?
While concrete might have a lower initial installation cost, pavers often prove more economical over time. Pavers are more resistant to cracking from freeze-thaw cycles common in Kansas City and are easier to repair by replacing individual units.

Where is the cheapest place to buy pavers?
Do I really need sand under pavers?
Absolutely. A layer of coarse sand, known as bedding sand, is essential under pavers. It provides a level surface for laying the pavers and allows for minor adjustments, ensuring a flat patio. This sand also helps with drainage, which is crucial for a long-lasting installation in Kansas City's climate.
How much would a 20x20 paver patio cost?

What is an example of hardscaping?
A well-laid paver patio for entertaining is a prime example of hardscaping in Kansas City. Other common examples include durable stone walkways, sturdy retaining walls to manage slopes, or a built-in barbecue area. These features define outdoor spaces and add significant value to your home.
