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 Columbus
Is it cheaper to lay concrete or pavers?
Typically, a basic concrete pour will have a lower upfront cost than a paver patio installation. However, pavers often provide a more attractive finish and are much easier and less costly to repair if they become damaged or uneven over time. The long-term value proposition can differ significantly. We can help you compare.
Where is the cheapest place to buy pavers?
For the most affordable paver options in the Columbus area, explore local landscape supply yards and building material centers. Buying in larger quantities can sometimes lead to discounts. Be sure to factor in delivery costs when comparing prices from different suppliers. We can provide guidance on material choices.
Do I really need sand under pavers?
Yes, a bedding layer of sand is essential for a successful paver installation. This sand provides a smooth, level surface for the pavers to rest on and allows for slight adjustments during installation. It's crucial for preventing movement and maintaining the integrity of your patio or walkway. This is a standard part of quality work.
How much would a 20x20 paver patio cost?
What is meant by hardscaping?
Hardscaping refers to the built, non-living elements of your landscape design. This includes structures like patios, walkways, retaining walls, and driveways. It's about creating the functional and aesthetic framework of your outdoor living space. We specialize in designing and building these features for Columbus homeowners.
What is an example of hardscaping?
A paver patio is a prime example of hardscaping, providing a durable and attractive area for outdoor activities. Other examples include stone pathways winding through a garden or a sturdy retaining wall built to manage uneven terrain. Outdoor kitchens and fire pits are also considered hardscaping projects. We build these for you.
