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 Reno
Is it cheaper to lay concrete or pavers for a patio in Reno?
Typically, concrete is less expensive upfront than pavers for a patio. However, pavers can offer better long-term value due to their durability and repairability. The final cost in Reno depends on the specific materials and installation details.
Where is the cheapest place to buy pavers in Reno?
Do I really need sand under pavers for my Reno patio?
Absolutely, a sand bedding layer is essential for paver patios. It provides a smooth, level base and allows for minor settling over time. This is particularly important in Reno's environment to ensure a stable and long-lasting patio.
How much would a 20x20 paver patio cost in Reno?
The cost for a 20x20 paver patio in Reno can vary widely. Key factors include the chosen paver style, necessary site preparation, and any custom design features. A precise quote requires a detailed assessment of your specific project.
What is meant by hardscaping, and what's an example for my Reno yard?
Hardscaping involves the non-living structures in your landscape, such as patios, walkways, and retaining walls. For your Reno yard, this could be a new paver patio with built-in seating or a durable driveway apron made from interlocking pavers.
What are good paver options for a Reno patio that gets a lot of sun?
For sunny patios in Reno, consider lighter-colored pavers that absorb less heat, like certain concrete or composite options. These will feel more comfortable underfoot. The specialists can guide you on materials that perform well in direct sunlight.
