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

A patio is a paved outdoor area used for dining, relaxation, or recreation, usually attached to or near a house. You should consider building a patio if you want to extend your living space outdoors without the high maintenance of a wooden deck. Because they sit directly on the ground, patios are sturdy and can be designed in many shapes to fit your specific yard layout. They act as the central hub for your home's outdoor lifestyle.

Frequently asked in Philadelphia

Is it cheaper to lay concrete or pavers?

While concrete might have a lower initial cost in Philadelphia, pavers often provide better long-term value. Concrete can crack and heave due to our freeze-thaw cycles, leading to costly repairs over time. Pavers offer more flexibility; individual stones can be replaced if damaged, maintaining the patio's appearance and structural integrity. Consider the lifespan and maintenance when comparing costs in our region.

Where is the cheapest place to buy pavers?

Do I really need sand under pavers?

Yes, a layer of bedding sand is essential for a successful paver installation. This sand bed allows for precise leveling of each paver, ensuring a smooth and even surface. Beneath the sand, a compacted gravel base is vital for proper drainage and stability, preventing your patio from shifting or settling due to Philadelphia's varied soil conditions and weather patterns.

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 patios, walkways, driveways, retaining walls, and outdoor kitchens. It's about creating functional and visually appealing features that define your outdoor space and enhance its usability. Hardscaping provides the architectural framework for your yard, blending utility with aesthetics.

What is an example of hardscaping?

A beautiful paver patio in a Philadelphia backyard, perfect for entertaining guests, is a prime example of hardscaping. Other examples include a durable concrete driveway, a decorative stone pathway, or a built-in outdoor cooking area. These elements add structure, purpose, and aesthetic appeal to your property, transforming your yard into a functional and inviting living space.
