Concrete pavers — Bakersfield, CA
Last updated: September 24, 2026
What affects the price
Several things change the final quote for a hardscape project. The biggest factor is the size of the area you want covered, followed by the specific materials you choose. Natural stone, for example, usually costs more than standard concrete pavers. You also have to consider site prep; if the ground needs significant grading or old materials removed, that adds labor hours. Complex patterns, retaining walls, or built-in features like fire pits will also shift your budget. We can get you an exact pricing confirmed free on the call.

Frequently asked in Bakersfield
What’s the general process for installing concrete pavers on a patio in Bakersfield?
Can flagstone be used for a patio, and how does its installation differ from concrete pavers?
Yes, flagstone can absolutely be used for a patio, offering a natural look. Its installation is similar in that a proper base is prepared. However, flagstone pieces are irregular and often laid on a sand bed or sometimes directly on a concrete slab. The pros will carefully place and fit each piece, filling the gaps with sand or grout for a finished look.
What goes into deciding the cost of pavers and their installation?
How important is the paver base, and what materials are typically used?
The paver base is critical for the longevity and stability of your paved surface. It prevents settling, shifting, and weed growth. Typically, a layer of crushed stone or gravel is used as the base material. This is then compacted thoroughly to create a solid foundation that can support the pavers and withstand traffic and weather.
What are the advantages of using concrete driveway pavers over traditional concrete?
Concrete driveway pavers offer several advantages. They are much more flexible than a solid concrete slab, allowing them to adapt to ground movement and temperature changes without cracking. If a paver gets damaged, it can be individually replaced, which is often more cost-effective than repairing a large concrete section. They also provide a more aesthetically pleasing and customizable look for your driveway.
What are the considerations for an outdoor patio?
What is the typical paver base material used for patios?
For patios, the standard paver base material is typically compacted crushed stone or gravel. This provides a stable and well-draining foundation. The thickness of this layer is determined by the soil conditions and the expected load on the patio. Properly installed paver base is essential for preventing future issues like sinking or uneven surfaces.
