What affects the price

The scope of work, including site preparation, excavation, and existing landscape removal, also impacts the bottom line.

Frequently asked in Des Moines

Is it cheaper to lay concrete or pavers?

In Des Moines, concrete might have a lower initial installation cost than pavers. However, pavers offer greater longevity and are easier to repair if damaged, often making them more cost-effective over time, especially considering Iowa's freeze-thaw cycles. Concrete repairs can be more challenging and visible.

Where is the cheapest place to buy pavers?

Do I really need sand under pavers?

Yes, a layer of coarse bedding sand is crucial for paver installations in Des Moines. This sand layer provides a smooth, level surface for the pavers to rest on, allowing for precise alignment. It also helps the pavers interlock, contributing to the overall stability and preventing shifting, especially with seasonal ground movement.
