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.

Frequently asked in Virginia Beach
Is it cheaper to lay concrete or pavers?
Generally, poured concrete is less expensive upfront than pavers. However, stamped concrete can offer a middle ground, providing the aesthetic of pavers at a lower price point. The long-term durability and maintenance needs also factor into the overall cost comparison for your Virginia Beach property.
Where is the cheapest place to buy pavers?
You'll find competitive pricing on pavers at local landscape supply yards and dedicated hardscape material stores in the Virginia Beach area. Comparing prices from a few different suppliers is always a good idea. The specialists we work with can also offer insights into cost-effective material choices that fit your budget.
Do I really need sand under pavers?
Yes, a layer of sand, specifically paver base and then a leveling sand, is crucial under pavers. This base provides a stable foundation, allows for proper drainage, and helps create a smooth, even surface for laying the pavers. Skipping this step can lead to an uneven patio over time.
How much would a 20x20 paver patio cost?
What is meant by hardscaping?
Hardscaping refers to the non-living elements of your landscape design. This includes features like patios, walkways, retaining walls, driveways, and outdoor kitchens. It's about creating functional and beautiful structures that complement your home and garden in areas like Virginia Beach.
What is an example of hardscaping?
A prime example of hardscaping is a stamped concrete patio leading to a backyard fire pit, surrounded by a low retaining wall. Another common example is a winding paver walkway through a garden. These elements add structure, usability, and aesthetic appeal to your outdoor living areas.
