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 Phoenix
Is it cheaper to lay concrete or pavers?
While concrete might have a lower initial material cost, pavers often provide better long-term value. Pavers are more durable and easier to repair than concrete. If a paver gets damaged, it can be replaced individually without affecting the rest of the patio. Concrete repairs can be more extensive and costly. Get a quote to compare for your Phoenix project.
Where is the cheapest place to buy pavers?
For the best deals on pavers in the Phoenix area, check local landscape supply yards. These suppliers typically offer more competitive pricing on bulk materials than big box stores and have a wider selection of paver types suitable for the desert climate. The professionals who will install your patio can often recommend reliable local sources.
Do I really need sand under pavers?
Yes, a layer of paver sand is essential for a properly installed patio. This sand creates a bedding layer for the pavers, allowing for minor adjustments and ensuring a level, smooth surface. It also contributes to drainage and helps prevent weed growth between the paver joints. The pros ensure this critical step is done correctly.
How much would a 20x20 paver patio cost?
What is meant by hardscaping?
Hardscaping refers to the non-living, structural components of your landscape. This includes patios, walkways, driveways, retaining walls, and outdoor kitchens. It's about creating functional and aesthetically pleasing features that define and enhance your outdoor space. Paver patios are a very popular and versatile example of hardscaping.
What is an example of hardscaping?
A beautiful paver patio installed in a backyard in Glendale, perfect for enjoying the Arizona evenings, is a great example of hardscaping. Another could be a decorative stone walkway leading to a casita in Scottsdale. These elements add structure, durability, and visual appeal to your property.
