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 weather-resistant floor coverings designed to add color, texture, and comfort to your hardscape. You need them when you want to define specific zones, such as a dining area or a conversation pit, on your patio. They are excellent for covering older surfaces or adding a softer touch to stone. Ensure the surface underneath is properly leveled first, as rugs perform best on smooth, clean pavers or finished concrete.
Frequently asked in Milwaukee
Is it cheaper to lay concrete or pavers?
Generally, poured concrete can have a lower upfront material cost than pavers. However, pavers offer better long-term value due to their durability and ease of repair. If a section cracks, individual pavers can be replaced without a major overhaul, unlike concrete which might need resurfacing or replacement. The pros can give you a clear comparison for your specific needs.
Where is the cheapest place to buy pavers?
Do I really need sand under pavers?
Yes, a layer of sand (usually coarse, washed concrete sand) is essential under pavers. It creates a stable, level base for the pavers to sit on and allows for drainage. This sand layer is critical for preventing shifting and settling over time, ensuring your patio remains even and attractive. The pros always install this crucial layer.
How much would a 20x20 paver patio cost?
The cost for a 20x20 paver patio in Milwaukee varies significantly based on paver material, complexity of the design, and site conditions. Factors like the specific type of paver, whether you need extensive grading or drainage solutions, and labor rates all play a part.

What is meant by hardscaping?
Hardscaping refers to the non-living elements of your landscape design. This includes things like patios, walkways, retaining walls, driveways, and decks. It's about creating functional and structural outdoor features. Paver patios are a prime example of hardscaping, adding both beauty and utility to your property.
What is an example of hardscaping?
A perfect example of hardscaping is a beautiful, custom-designed paver patio leading from your back door to a seating area. Other examples include interlocking brick walkways, a sturdy retaining wall to manage a sloped yard, or a decorative stone fire pit area. These elements define outdoor spaces and add lasting value.
