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 Montgomery
Is it cheaper to lay concrete or pavers?
In Montgomery, the initial installation cost of concrete might be lower than pavers. However, pavers often provide better long-term value because they are more durable and easier to repair if damaged. If a paver cracks or shifts, it can be individually replaced, unlike concrete which may require more extensive and costly repairs if cracks develop.
Where is the cheapest place to buy pavers?
To find the most cost-effective pavers in Montgomery, look to local landscape supply yards. These specialized suppliers often offer better pricing than large retail chains and have a wider selection of quality hardscaping materials. The pros you speak with for your estimate can usually recommend reliable sources.
Do I really need sand under pavers?
Yes, a layer of coarse sand is crucial under pavers. This bedding layer provides a smooth, level surface for the pavers, allowing for minor adjustments and ensuring stability. Proper sand installation prevents shifting and settling, which is essential for the longevity and appearance of your patio, especially in Montgomery's climate.
How much would a 20x20 paver patio cost?
What is meant by hardscaping?
Hardscaping refers to the non-living, structural elements of your landscape design. This includes features such as paver patios, walkways, retaining walls, outdoor kitchens, and fire pits. It's about creating functional and visually appealing elements that define and enhance your outdoor living spaces.
What is an example of hardscaping?
A prime example of hardscaping is a custom-designed paver patio that extends your home's living space outdoors. Other examples include a decorative stone pathway winding through a garden, a sturdy retaining wall built to manage a slope, or a built-in outdoor fireplace for gathering and entertaining.
