Frequently asked in Des Moines

Is it cheaper to lay concrete or pavers?

The upfront cost for concrete installation is often lower than for pavers in Des Moines. However, pavers can offer better long-term value due to their durability and ease of repair. Concrete can crack due to freeze-thaw cycles, leading to more expensive repairs later.

Where is the cheapest place to buy pavers?

For Des Moines homeowners, the best deals on pavers are often found at local landscape supply yards or through contractors who buy in bulk. We can help you connect with professionals who source materials efficiently and can pass savings on to you.

Do I really need sand under pavers?

Yes, a sand setting bed is absolutely essential. It provides a smooth, even surface for the pavers and allows for minor adjustments during installation. This layer also aids in drainage, which is critical for preventing frost heave and settling in Des Moines' climate.

How much would a 20x20 paver patio cost?

What is meant by hardscaping?

Hardscaping refers to the permanent, non-living elements of your landscape. This includes features like patios, walkways, driveways, retaining walls, and outdoor fireplaces. It's about creating functional and aesthetic structures that enhance your property.

What is an example of hardscaping?

A well-constructed paver patio is a prime example of hardscaping in Des Moines. Other examples include durable concrete walkways, stylish retaining walls that manage yard slopes, or even a built-in outdoor kitchen area for entertaining.
