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.
About this service
These are modular stone or concrete units used to build custom outdoor flooring. You need them if you want a high-end look that is both durable and easy to maintain.

Costs typically fall within a wide range; exact pricing confirmed free on the call.
Frequently asked in Charlotte
Is it cheaper to lay concrete or pavers?
Typically, concrete has a lower initial installation cost compared to pavers. However, pavers often prove more economical over the lifespan of the patio. Pavers are much simpler and cheaper to repair if damaged, as individual stones can be replaced. Concrete repairs can be more extensive and costly in Charlotte.
Where is the cheapest place to buy pavers?
To find the most affordable pavers, you'll want to compare prices from local landscape supply yards and consider buying in larger quantities if possible. Keep in mind that the price of the pavers themselves is just one component of the total project cost. Installation labor and site preparation are significant factors.
Do I really need sand under pavers?
Yes, a layer of sand is absolutely essential for a proper paver installation. This bedding sand provides a smooth, level surface for the pavers and allows for slight adjustments during installation. It also helps with drainage and can deter weed growth. Proper base preparation is key for longevity.
How much would a 20x20 paver patio cost?
What is meant by hardscaping?
Hardscaping refers to the non-living elements of your landscape design that add structure and functionality. This includes patios, walkways, driveways, retaining walls, and outdoor fireplaces. It’s about creating the built environment in your yard. Pavers are a very popular hardscaping material.
What is an example of hardscaping?
A paver patio is a prime example of hardscaping, creating a defined outdoor living area. Other examples include a stone pathway leading to your front door, a sturdy retaining wall that prevents soil erosion, or a built-in fire pit for entertaining. These features enhance both the beauty and utility of your property.
