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.

About this service

This process involves creating a stable, level foundation by excavating soil and laying down compacted gravel and sand. The pavers are then set in place, locked together with edge restraints, and finished with joint sand. You need this service when you want to convert a grassy or muddy backyard into a usable, low-maintenance outdoor living area. A professional installation ensures the patio remains level and avoids common issues like sinking or water pooling after a heavy rain.

Frequently asked in Boston

Is it cheaper to lay concrete or pavers?

The upfront cost can vary, but pavers often offer better long-term value. While concrete might seem cheaper initially, repairs can add up. Pavers in Boston can be individually replaced if damaged, which is much more cost-effective than patching concrete. Discuss your budget with the pros for a precise quote.

Where is the cheapest place to buy pavers?

Paver pricing in Boston depends on the material, style, and quantity. While direct-from-manufacturer can sometimes be cost-effective, consider the delivery fees to your Boston home. The pros often have established relationships with suppliers, which can translate to better pricing for your project. They can advise on the most economical options for your specific needs.

Do I really need sand under pavers?

Absolutely. A layer of sand, typically 1-inch deep and leveled, is essential beneath pavers. This sand bed allows for slight adjustments during installation and helps to create a stable, interlocking surface. Without it, your Boston paver patio could settle unevenly over time, leading to an uneven surface.

How much would a 20x20 paver patio cost?

What is an example of hardscaping?
