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.

Costs typically fall within a wide range; exact pricing confirmed free on the call.
Frequently asked in Rochester
Is it cheaper to lay concrete or pavers?
For Rochester residents, the initial cost might seem similar, but pavers often prove more economical over time. Concrete can crack and become difficult to repair seamlessly. Paver patios, however, allow for individual unit replacement if damaged or settled, making repairs simpler and less expensive. This is especially important with our freeze-thaw cycles.
Where is the cheapest place to buy pavers?
Instead of focusing solely on the cheapest source in Rochester, consider the overall value. The pros we partner with have established relationships with quality paver suppliers. They can guide you toward materials that offer the best durability and aesthetic for your budget, ensuring your investment lasts for years.
Do I really need sand under pavers?
Yes, a bed of sand is absolutely critical for a successful paver installation in Rochester. After a properly compacted base is laid, a layer of coarse sand is used to set the pavers. This sand bed ensures each paver is level and provides vital drainage, preventing movement and frost heaving that can damage your patio.
How much would a 20x20 paver patio cost?
