Deck Patio
I’m building a patio: which one cost less: brick pavers or deck?
I’m redoing my yard and I’m planning on either a wood deck or a patio using brick pavers. Either one will work but I’d like to know about the cost of materials: which is cheaper? The area will be approx. 200 sq ft. If I use pavers I’d use around 3” of sand and 3” of gravel (does this sound right). If I build a deck it would be about a foot of the ground with the proper foundation. Thanks in advance for your input and suggestions.

It really depends on your local market. Some places lumber is very expen$ive and other masonry is costly. Check several home centers, brick yards, and lumber yards to get an idea of local prices.
For the long term masonry will be most cost effective. Termites don’t eat bricks, and bricks don’t need all the maintenance that wood does.
