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 umbrella provides necessary shade and protection from UV rays for your outdoor seating area. You need this accessory if your patio lacks natural tree canopy or overhead cover. When selecting one, consider the size of your dining or lounge set to ensure the canopy provides adequate coverage. You should also choose a high-quality, weather-resistant fabric and a base heavy enough to keep it stable during windy days, ensuring your patio remains usable throughout the hot summer months.

Frequently asked in Virginia Beach

Is it cheaper to lay concrete or pavers?

Pavers generally carry a higher upfront cost than poured concrete due to material quality and labor intensity. However, in Virginia Beach, pavers offer superior durability and are easier to repair if the ground shifts. Concrete cracks often require replacing the entire slab, while pavers can be lifted individually. Call us to discuss which option suits your specific budget and property needs.

How much would a 20x20 paver patio cost?

The final price for a 20x20 patio depends on material selection, site excavation, and your specific soil type in Virginia Beach.
