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
Paver edging is the border material used to keep your pavers from shifting or spreading over time. You need this during the installation of any paver project to ensure long-term structural integrity. Costs are determined by the length of the perimeter and the type of border stones chosen. Typically, edging adds a few dollars per linear foot to the project. Exact pricing confirmed free on the call.
