patio roof support posts

Guys are laying travertine pavers under my covered patio. They are cutting away part of the pyramid of concrete anchoring the posts in order to butt the pavers up against the posts. is this weakening the support posts?

New deck material

Hello, I am looking to build a new deck. looking either 15x15 or 15x20, just one level. I am not sure what material to go with. How hot does composite material get in the summer time? I also have seen aluminum, but haven't seen much about it. The video I saw it was cooler than treated wood. What all needs to be done for cedar? Does it need to be sealed like regular pressure treated lumber? Thank you.Read More
