Common questions

Is it cheaper to pour concrete or install pavers?
How much does it cost to install 400 sq ft of pavers?

Is it cheaper to lay concrete or pavers?

While concrete might seem cheaper initially, pavers often provide better value over time. Concrete is prone to cracking in Minnesota's freeze-thaw cycles. Paver repairs are simpler and less expensive. You can replace individual pavers if needed. This makes pavers a more durable and cost-effective choice for your Minneapolis home.

Where is the cheapest place to buy pavers?
Do I really need sand under pavers?

Yes, a layer of bedding sand is essential under pavers. It creates a level surface for laying the pavers. The sand also allows for proper drainage. This is crucial in Minnesota to manage moisture and prevent frost damage. It helps keep your patio stable and prevents shifting over time.

Will pavers withstand Minnesota winters?

Yes, when installed correctly, pavers are excellent for Minnesota winters. Proper base preparation with a deep gravel layer is key. This allows for drainage and prevents frost heave. The pavers themselves are designed to be durable. They can handle the freeze-thaw cycles. We ensure your patio is built to last through all seasons.
