Frequently asked in Philadelphia

Is it cheaper to lay concrete or pavers?

A basic concrete slab generally has a lower initial cost than pavers. However, pavers offer more design flexibility and are easier to repair if damaged, which can be more cost-effective in the long run for your Philadelphia property. The specific materials and complexity of the job are significant cost factors.

Where is the cheapest place to buy pavers?

To find the best prices on pavers in the Philadelphia area, check with local landscape supply yards and masonry distributors. Buying in larger quantities can often lead to discounts. The pros we work with frequently source materials from these places and can help you get good value.

Do I really need sand under pavers?

Yes, a layer of bedding sand is crucial for a proper paver installation. It creates a smooth, consistent base for the pavers, allowing for minor adjustments to ensure a level and stable surface. This is vital for preventing shifting and settling, especially in Philadelphia's climate.

How much would a 20x20 paver patio cost?

What is meant by hardscaping?

Hardscaping refers to the non-living, structural components of your landscape. This includes patios, walkways, driveways, retaining walls, and outdoor kitchens. It's the foundation that provides functionality and aesthetic appeal to your outdoor spaces in Philadelphia.

What is an example of hardscaping?

A practical example is a durable paver walkway leading to your garden or a decorative stone patio for outdoor dining. A sturdy retaining wall built to manage a slope in your yard also falls under hardscaping.
