A paver patio is an excellent choice if you want to create an outdoor area. You can customize your home with their many colors and styles. They are also more natural looking than concrete slabs. They can be more costly than a concrete patio to install.
The cost of a concrete patio can vary depending on a number of factors, including the type of materials used, the design complexity and the labor required for the installation. A basic concrete patio costs $4 per square ft, while a stamped and stained one can go for $30.
Cost of pouring concrete patio
Concrete patios cost on average $550 to $1650. It includes the cost of removing existing concrete, preparing the area for concrete pouring and the hauling away concrete. It covers drainage pipes and a French drain for the soil depending on how large the area is.
Paver Patios
The cost to pave a patio with brick or stone can vary widely, depending on the material used and the design complexity. A simple patio made of red or grey brick costs $10 to $25 (CAD13 to 33) for each square foot. A more expensive option, such as slate or natural stones, can cost $40 to $40 per square foot.
Patios made from cobblestone, or other less popular types of pavers, can be more costly that brick or concrete patios due to the additional labor required for their construction. Your patio can be enhanced with features like a firepit, retaining wall, or water feature. This will increase the cost.
Pavers can be more expensive that concrete because they are more likely to sustain damage and need more maintenance. You can either hire someone to do the job for you or do it yourself to replace worn pavers.
Sealing concrete patios
A waterproof sealant is applied to patio surfaces by professionals to prevent moisture from seeingping through concrete. This sealant protects your investment and prevents cracking.
You can get a concrete sealant from any local home improvement store or a landscape supply company. There are many sealants that you can choose from, including polyurethane and acrylic. The type of material used, as well as its porosity, will affect the choice of sealant.
An overlay of concrete can be applied to a patio. This project is a great option for homeowners with concrete patios that are already in place and wish to change the color, texture, or style.
A patio can cost more than a concrete patio but it can still be worth it for those looking to create a luxurious space. A pergola or seating can be added to your paver patio to increase its value and appeal.
