Patio screens — Columbia, MO
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.
About this service
Patio screens are mesh panels installed around your patio to keep insects out while allowing a breeze to pass through. They are perfect if you enjoy spending evenings outside but want to avoid mosquitoes or other pests. These screens can be stationary or motorized, depending on your needs and budget. Adding them essentially creates an outdoor room that remains comfortable during the bug-heavy months.
