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.

It is a simple, effective addition that allows you to use your patio comfortably throughout the afternoon while protecting your guests from direct heat.
