Common questions
What is the best concrete mix for paving slabs?
For paving slabs in New Jersey, a concrete mix with a compressive strength of at least 4000 psi is recommended. It should be air-entrained to resist damage from freeze-thaw cycles common in our winters. A low water-cement ratio further enhances durability. We use mixes suited for our climate.
What kind of cement is used for paving?
Portland cement is the standard for paving concrete in New Jersey. Type I or Type II Portland cement is commonly used, offering good strength and durability. We ensure the cement chosen is appropriate for our local weather conditions and soil types. Our focus is on quality.
How much does a 20x20 concrete paver patio cost?
The cost for a 20x20 concrete paver patio depends on paver selection, site preparation complexity, and any custom design features. Your location in New Jersey, like Newark or Elizabeth, can influence labor rates. We provide free, detailed quotes after assessing your project needs.
What are the downsides of concrete paving?
Concrete can develop cracks over time due to ground movement, temperature fluctuations, or improper installation. Repairs can sometimes be difficult to match perfectly. While durable, it lacks the flexibility of some other materials. Proper installation and maintenance are key.
Is it cheaper to lay concrete or pavers?
Poured concrete typically has a lower initial installation cost than concrete pavers. However, pavers offer distinct advantages like easier repair and replacement of damaged sections. Over the long term, the cost can become more comparable. We can discuss the long-term value of each option.
