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 involves pouring concrete and using specialized mats to press patterns and textures into the surface while it sets. You need this if you want the appearance of stone or brick with a single, continuous slab. Cost is influenced by the pattern complexity, color options, and the size of the area being poured. Proper sealing is essential to keep it looking good. Exact pricing confirmed free on the call.
Frequently asked in Virginia Beach
Is it cheaper to lay concrete or pavers?
Typically, the upfront cost for poured concrete can be lower than pavers. However, pavers offer better long-term value because they're easier and cheaper to repair if one settles or cracks. You won't need to replace the whole section like you might with concrete. Consider the durability and repair costs when deciding for your Virginia Beach home.
Where is the cheapest place to buy pavers?
The 'cheapest' place often depends on bulk discounts and local suppliers in the Virginia Beach area. Sometimes direct from manufacturers or larger landscape supply yards offer better pricing than big box stores. The pros we work with know the best local sources for quality materials to keep costs down.
Do I really need sand under pavers?
Yes, absolutely. A layer of bedding sand is crucial between the paver base and the pavers themselves. This sand layer allows for fine adjustments, provides a smooth surface for laying pavers, and helps them interlock properly. Without it, your patio in Virginia Beach won't be stable or level.
How much would a 20x20 paver patio cost?
The cost for a 20x20 paver patio in Virginia Beach varies based on paver material, design complexity, and site preparation needs. Factors like the type of pavers chosen, whether excavation is needed, and the intricacy of the pattern will affect the final price. We can get you a precise quote.
What is meant by hardscaping?
Hardscaping refers to the inanimate elements of your landscape design. This includes patios, walkways, retaining walls, driveways, and outdoor kitchens. It's the built environment that complements your garden and lawn. Think of it as the structural foundation for your outdoor living space.
What is an example of hardscaping?
A prime example of hardscaping is a beautifully laid paver patio, perfect for entertaining guests in your Virginia Beach backyard. Other examples include flagstone walkways, stone retaining walls to manage slopes, or a concrete driveway. These are all permanent structures that define your outdoor areas.
