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

This service involves clearing the existing ground, laying down a crushed stone base, and compacting it before placing the pavers. It is necessary when you want a stable, low-maintenance surface for your backyard that won't crack like traditional concrete. Proper installation is critical because it prevents shifting and weed growth. If you are tired of muddy grass or uneven dirt patches, a professionally installed paver patio provides a solid, flat foundation for your outdoor activities.

Frequently asked in Philadelphia

Is it cheaper to lay concrete or pavers?

While concrete may have a lower initial material cost, pavers often prove more economical in the long run. Pavers are significantly easier and less expensive to repair if damaged, as individual units can be replaced. Concrete repairs can be more extensive and costly, often leaving visible patches.

Where is the cheapest place to buy pavers?

For the best value on pavers in the Philadelphia area, look to local landscape supply yards. They generally offer more competitive pricing on bulk materials than large home improvement stores and typically have a wider selection suited for the regional climate. The pros who will be installing your patio can often recommend reliable local suppliers.

Do I really need sand under pavers?

Yes, a layer of coarse paver sand is a critical part of a successful paver installation. This sand provides a bedding surface for the pavers, allowing for minor adjustments during laying and ensuring a smooth, level finish. It also aids in drainage and helps to deter weed growth between the paver joints. The pros ensure this essential step is done correctly.

How much would a 20x20 paver patio cost?
