What affects the price
When planning your hardscape, the final cost depends on a few key variables. First, the size of your space and the specific materials you choose, such as natural stone versus concrete pavers, play a huge role. Complex patterns, drainage needs, and site preparation—like excavation or leveling uneven ground—also influence the total. We provide exact pricing confirmed free on the call.

Frequently asked in Austin
Is it cheaper to lay concrete or pavers?
Concrete is sometimes cheaper, but it cracks easily in the Austin heat. Pavers allow for movement, meaning your patio stays intact even when the ground shifts. The pros in Austin recommend pavers for their durability and low maintenance requirements. You save money by choosing a surface that does not require expensive, frequent repairs.
Where is the cheapest place to buy pavers?
Ask your contractor about local Austin stone yards that offer competitive pricing for your project. Buying bulk from a local supplier is almost always cheaper than retail stores. The specialist you consult can point you toward the best value materials for the Austin area. You will get better quality for a fair price.
Do I really need sand under pavers?
Sand is the most important part of the base in Austin to keep your pavers from sinking. It allows the stones to settle properly and provides necessary drainage for our soil. Pros in Austin never install pavers without a professional-grade sand bed. It is the secret to a patio that lasts for many years.
How much would a 20x20 paver patio cost?
The price for a 20x20 patio depends on your site conditions, stone type, and the amount of clearing needed. Every Austin yard has unique features that affect the final estimate. Call us to have a pro visit your home. They will provide a specific, no-obligation quote for your backyard project today.
