What affects the price
When planning a hardscape project, several factors influence the total investment. The type of materials you select—whether natural stone, concrete pavers, or permeable options—plays a significant role. The scope of work, including site preparation, excavation, and existing landscape removal, also impacts the bottom line. Projects involving complex patterns, curves, or integrated features like fire pits and retaining walls require more labor and time. Soil conditions and drainage needs can add complexity, affecting overall installation requirements. Exact pricing confirmed free on the call.
About this service
A patio umbrella provides necessary shade for your outdoor seating area, protecting you and your guests from direct sun.

You need an umbrella if your patio receives significant direct sunlight during the day. Choosing the right size and weight ensures your shade stays stable even on breezy days, keeping your outdoor space comfortable and cool.
Frequently asked in Austin
Is it cheaper to lay concrete or pavers?
While concrete might have a lower initial cost, pavers often prove more cost-effective over time due to their durability and repairability. Pavers can be individually replaced if damaged, unlike concrete which may require extensive resurfacing. This makes them a smart, long-term investment for your Austin home.
Where is the cheapest place to buy pavers?
The 'cheapest' place to buy pavers generally involves looking at local Austin suppliers for bulk discounts and competitive pricing. When you call us, we can discuss paver options and help you find quality materials that fit your budget. We focus on providing the best overall value.
Do I really need sand under pavers?
Yes, a proper base of paver aggregate and a thin layer of sand are crucial for a stable paver installation. This foundation allows for proper drainage and prevents the pavers from shifting or settling over time. It's a critical step for a lasting hardscape in Austin.
How much would a 20x20 paver patio cost?
The cost for a 20x20 paver patio in Austin can vary significantly based on the type of pavers chosen, the complexity of the design, and necessary site preparation. Factors like drainage requirements and the specific paver material will influence the final price. Call us for a free, personalized estimate.
