What affects the price
When planning your hardscape, the final cost depends on a few key variables.

Frequently asked in New Orleans
Is it cheaper to lay concrete or pavers in New Orleans?
Concrete typically has a lower initial cost. However, pavers can offer better long-term value in New Orleans due to their durability and ease of repair. If a section of your paver patio is damaged, individual pavers can be replaced. Concrete damage may require more extensive and costly resurfacing or replacement.
Where is the cheapest place to buy pavers in New Orleans?
For competitive pricing on pavers in the New Orleans area, consider local landscape supply yards and direct paver manufacturers. These sources often offer better rates than large retail stores. The professionals we work with have established supplier relationships and can help source materials efficiently.
Do I really need sand under pavers in New Orleans?
Yes, sand is essential as a bedding layer under pavers. It provides a smooth, level surface and allows for natural expansion and contraction. A proper base, including compacted gravel and a consistent sand layer, is critical for a stable and long-lasting paver installation in New Orleans' environment.
