exterior surface pavement materials?

A. wood deck, unit pavers, cast-in-place concrete,
granite, bluestone/slate
B. cast-in-place concrete, unit pavers, wood deck,
bluestone/slate, granite
C. cast-in-place concrete, wood deck, unit pavers,
bluestone/slate, granite
D. unit pavers, granite, bluestone/shale, cast-in-place
concrete, wood deck

Answer 1

Option C. is correct. The correct sequence from least-to-most expensive for exterior surface pavement materials is C: cast-in-place concrete, wood deck, unit pavers, bluestone/slate, granite.

Step-by-step explanation:

The sequence that represents the least-to-most expensive square foot costs for the given exterior surface pavement materials is cast-in-place concrete, wood deck, unit pavers, bluestone/slate, granite. Typically, cast-in-place concrete is the least expensive due to the materials and process used in its construction. Wood decks follow as they can be moderately priced, but the cost varies with the type of wood and the design complexity.

Unit pavers come next and can range from relatively affordable to more expensive, depending on the materials (concrete, clay, stone). Bluestone and slate are higher-end materials and therefore cost more, while granite tends to be the most expensive due to its durability and aesthetic appeal.
