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
Professional installation of patio pavers is a multi-step process that starts with removing existing sod and soil. The crew then installs a compacted gravel base and a layer of bedding sand to ensure the stones sit perfectly flat. This service is necessary if you want a patio that resists cracking and allows for easy repairs later. Proper installation is the foundation of a durable surface that handles foot traffic and weather changes without losing its structural integrity.
Frequently asked in Ontario
Is it cheaper to lay concrete or pavers?
While concrete might have a lower initial cost in Ontario, pavers often offer better long-term value. Pavers are more resistant to cracking and are easily repaired by replacing individual units, unlike concrete which may require more extensive resurfacing. Their durability and repairability make them a smart investment for your home's exterior.
Where is the cheapest place to buy pavers?
Do I really need sand under pavers?
Yes, a layer of bedding sand is crucial for proper paver installation in Ontario. This sand provides a smooth, level surface for the pavers, allows for minor adjustments during installation, and helps with drainage. Proper sand application is essential to prevent shifting, settling, and unevenness over time, ensuring a stable and safe patio.
How much would a 20x20 paver patio cost?
