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 is a ground-level outdoor space, usually paved with stone, brick, or concrete, meant for dining or relaxing. Unlike a deck, it sits directly on the ground, making it a lower-maintenance option for your backyard. You need a patio if you want to expand your living area into the yard for grilling or hosting. We design and build these structures to be the center of your outdoor life, focusing on durability and seamless transitions from your home’s interior.
Frequently asked in St. Petersburg
Is it cheaper to lay concrete or pavers?
Typically, concrete has a lower upfront installation cost compared to pavers. However, pavers offer greater durability and easier repairs, which can make them more cost-effective over time, especially in a climate like St. Petersburg's. Discuss your long-term value expectations when you call.
Where is the cheapest place to buy pavers?
Local landscape supply companies or masonry yards often have competitive pricing on pavers. Buying in larger quantities might secure better deals. Skilled installers may also have access to wholesale pricing, so inquiring when getting your quote is beneficial.
Do I really need sand under pavers?
Absolutely, a layer of paver sand is essential for a stable and long-lasting installation. This sand bed provides a smooth surface for the pavers and allows for crucial drainage, preventing shifting and settling. Proper preparation is key to a great patio.
How much would a 20x20 paver patio cost?
What is meant by hardscaping?
Hardscaping encompasses all the non-living, structural elements in your yard. Think of patios, walkways, driveways, retaining walls, and outdoor kitchens. It’s about building the foundation and features that make your outdoor space functional and visually appealing. Pavers are a very popular choice.
What is an example of hardscaping?
A beautiful example of hardscaping is a paver patio extending from your home, perfect for entertaining in the St. Petersburg sunshine. Other examples include stone pathways, a decorative brick border around a garden bed, or a functional retaining wall to manage landscape elevation. These create outdoor rooms.
