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

Frequently asked in Providence
Is it cheaper to lay concrete or pavers?
Concrete typically has a lower initial cost than pavers. However, pavers can be more cost-effective in the long run due to their repairability and longevity. If a section of pavers is damaged, individual stones can be replaced, unlike a concrete slab which might require a more extensive repair. The pros can help you weigh these factors for your Providence project.
Where is the cheapest place to buy pavers?
Do I really need sand under pavers?
Absolutely. A layer of bedding sand is essential for a paver installation. It creates a smooth, level surface for the pavers to rest on and allows for proper drainage. This sand layer also helps to interlock the pavers, preventing shifting and movement over time, ensuring a stable patio in Providence.
How much would a 20x20 paver patio cost?

What is an example of hardscaping?
