What affects the price

When planning a hardscape project, several factors influence your final investment. The total square footage is the primary driver, but the complexity of the design—such as curves, patterns, or multi-level tiers—adds to labor time. Site accessibility matters too; if crews need specialized equipment to move materials into a tight backyard, that affects the bottom line. Material choice, from standard concrete blocks to premium natural stone, significantly shifts the budget. Additionally, your current ground condition determines how much excavation and base preparation is required for long-term stability.

About this service

You need a patio when you want a level, usable surface for grilling, relaxing, or hosting guests that is separate from your lawn. A well-designed patio increases your home's usable square footage. Factors like size, material choice, and soil preparation affect the investment required. Exact pricing confirmed free on the call.

Frequently asked in Atlanta

Is it cheaper to lay concrete or pavers?

The cost comparison between concrete and pavers depends on several factors. Pavers often have a higher upfront material cost, but their longevity and repairability can make them more cost-effective over time. Concrete might seem cheaper initially, but cracks and repairs can add up. Discussing your specific Atlanta project with a pro will give you a clear breakdown.

Where is the cheapest place to buy pavers?

Finding the 'cheapest' place often involves balancing price with quality and delivery logistics. For your Atlanta home, it's best to get quotes directly from the pros who will install them. They have established relationships with suppliers and can factor in delivery costs to your specific neighborhood, ensuring you get a fair price for the materials needed for your patio.

Do I really need sand under pavers?

Yes, a layer of sand is crucial for proper paver installation. This sand bedding allows for slight adjustments and creates a level surface. It also helps with drainage and prevents the pavers from shifting or settling over time, especially important for Atlanta's varied weather. The pros understand the right type and depth of sand for your specific paver patio.

How much would a 20x20 paver patio cost?

What is meant by hardscaping?

Hardscaping refers to the non-living elements of your landscape design. This includes patios, walkways, retaining walls, driveways, and outdoor kitchens. It's about creating functional and beautiful structures that enhance your property's usability and aesthetic appeal. For your Atlanta home, hardscaping can transform your outdoor living space.

What is an example of hardscaping?

A great example of hardscaping is a custom-designed paver patio that extends your living space outdoors. Other examples include a winding stone pathway leading through your garden or a sturdy retaining wall to manage a sloped yard. These elements provide structure and functionality to your property in areas like Atlanta.
