Patio umbrella base — West Covina, CA
Last updated: September 24, 2026
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.

What kind of outdoor patio furniture works best with pavers?
Most outdoor patio furniture works well on paver surfaces. You have a lot of flexibility with your choices. Wicker, metal, and wood furniture all look great. Consider the scale of your patio when choosing pieces. Ensure furniture legs won't sink into the sand layer beneath the pavers.
Is stamped concrete a good alternative to pavers for a patio?
Stamped concrete can mimic the look of pavers or stone. It's a single pour, which can sometimes be faster than laying individual pavers. However, stamped concrete can crack over time. Repairs can be more noticeable. Pavers offer more design flexibility and easier repairs.
