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

The patio is the foundational hardscaped area of your backyard, typically constructed from stone, brick, or concrete. 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.

Do I really need sand under pavers for my Aurora patio?
