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

A patio is a paved outdoor area that serves as an extension of your home's living space. You need a patio when you want a dedicated zone for dining, grilling, or lounging in your backyard. Unlike a deck, which is usually elevated and made of wood, a patio is typically set directly on the ground. A well-designed patio acts as the foundation for all your outdoor activities and is the main reason homeowners decide to invest in professional landscape hardscaping.

Frequently asked in Fort Lauderdale

Is it cheaper to lay concrete or pavers?

Where is the cheapest place to buy pavers?

Do I really need sand under pavers?

Yes, a sand bedding layer is absolutely crucial for paver installations. This layer, placed over a compacted base, creates a smooth, level surface for the pavers and allows for essential drainage. Without it, your patio can become uneven, and water can pool, leading to potential damage. The pros ensure this step is executed correctly for your Fort Lauderdale project.
