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.

Frequently asked in Portland
Is it cheaper to lay concrete or pavers?
In Portland, concrete often has a lower upfront cost for a basic patio. However, pavers offer a wider range of aesthetic options and are easier to repair individually, which can lead to better long-term value. The final price in Portland depends on the chosen materials and the complexity of the design.
Where is the cheapest place to buy pavers?
For Portland homeowners, local landscape supply yards and masonry distributors are generally good sources for pavers. Sometimes, purchasing directly from manufacturers or during promotional sales can offer savings. The pros can help you find cost-effective, quality materials for your Portland project.
Do I really need sand under pavers?
Absolutely. A layer of coarse sand is essential for setting pavers. It creates a smooth, even surface and allows for fine adjustments, ensuring a level and stable patio. This is critical for proper drainage and preventing uneven settling in Portland's climate.
How much would a 20x20 paver patio cost?
