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 Memphis
Is it cheaper to lay concrete or pavers?
While concrete might have a lower initial price, pavers often offer better long-term value in Memphis. Our climate can be tough on concrete, leading to cracks and costly repairs over time. Pavers, on the other hand, can be individually replaced if damaged, making them a more sustainable and aesthetically pleasing investment. Get a precise quote for your project.
Where is the cheapest place to buy pavers?
Finding the most affordable pavers in Memphis involves comparing local landscape supply yards and material distributors. While prices can vary, the pros often have established relationships that can secure competitive pricing and advise on the most cost-effective paver selections for your project. Delivery costs are also a key consideration.
Do I really need sand under pavers?
Yes, a layer of leveling sand is absolutely critical for a successful paver installation. This sand bed, typically one inch deep and meticulously leveled, allows for minor adjustments during the laying process and creates a stable, interlocking surface. It's essential for ensuring your Memphis patio remains even and prevents shifting over time.
How much would a 20x20 paver patio cost?

What is an example of hardscaping?

Other examples include stone steps leading to your entrance, a decorative gravel pathway, or a sturdy brick retaining wall to manage landscaping.
