Common questions about costs and estimates for this service.
To calculate the square footage, measure the length and width of the area where the patio or walkway will be built, then multiply these two numbers. For irregularly shaped areas, break them down into smaller, simpler shapes (rectangles, triangles, circles), calculate the area of each, and add them together.
A well-installed concrete patio can last 25-50 years, especially if properly maintained and sealed. Paver patios, particularly those with good base preparation, can last even longer, often 50-100 years, due to their flexibility and ease of individual unit replacement.
Site preparation costs are influenced by existing ground conditions (e.g., rocky soil, clay), the need for excavation or fill, accessibility for machinery, existing structures or landscaping that need removal, and the necessity for drainage solutions or retaining walls.
Permit requirements vary based on the size, location, and nature of the project. Generally, smaller, ground-level patios and walkways might not require a permit. However, larger projects, those involving structural changes, or those affecting property lines or drainage could require one. Always advise clients to check with local building authorities in Forsyth County or the specific municipality for current regulations.
Material delivery costs depend on the volume, weight, and distance from the supplier. For waste, it's prudent to factor in 5-10% extra for concrete and up to 10-15% for pavers, especially for complex patterns or cuts, to account for breakage, cutting errors, and unforeseen needs.
