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

Frequently asked in Tacoma
Is it cheaper to lay concrete or pavers in Tacoma?
While concrete might seem less expensive initially, pavers often offer better long-term value. Concrete can crack and settle over time, especially with the freeze-thaw cycles in the Tacoma area. Pavers are more durable, easier to repair, and maintain their appearance longer.
Where is the cheapest place to buy pavers in the Tacoma area?
When you call for your estimate, we can discuss material options and sourcing. Local landscape supply yards and building material stores around Tacoma are good places to explore. We can help guide you toward cost-effective choices for your specific project.
Do I really need sand under pavers for my Tacoma patio?
Yes, a layer of bedding sand is absolutely critical. It creates a perfectly level surface for the pavers and allows for minor adjustments during installation. This base also promotes drainage, which is vital in Tacoma's rainy climate to prevent shifting and water pooling.
How much would a 20x20 paver patio cost in Tacoma?
What is meant by hardscaping?
Hardscaping refers to the non-living components of your landscape design. This includes patios, walkways, driveways, retaining walls, and outdoor kitchens. For Tacoma homeowners, it's about creating functional, beautiful, and durable outdoor spaces.
What is an example of hardscaping in Tacoma?
A popular example is a custom paver patio, ideal for enjoying the summer months or entertaining guests. Other examples include stylish paver walkways leading through your garden or durable, attractive paver driveways that enhance your home's curb appeal.
