Outdoor patio shades — Lakeland, FL
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.

What is a concrete patio and how does it compare to pavers?
A concrete patio is a solid surface poured from concrete. While it's a common and often more budget-friendly option initially, concrete can be prone to cracking and staining over time, especially with our Florida weather. Paver patios, on the other hand, are made of individual interlocking units. This allows for greater flexibility, easier repairs if sections become damaged, and a wider range of design possibilities compared to a standard concrete slab.
