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 furniture includes tables, chairs, benches, and loungers designed to withstand outdoor conditions. You need these items once your hardscape project is complete to turn your new patio into a functional living space. Choosing the right pieces depends on your local climate, the size of your patio, and how often you plan to host guests. Durable materials like powder-coated metal, teak, or high-quality resin help ensure your furniture lasts through many seasons of outdoor use.
Frequently asked in Philadelphia
Is it cheaper to lay concrete or pavers?
While concrete might have a lower initial cost, pavers often prove more economical over time in Philadelphia. Pavers are more resistant to cracking from freeze-thaw cycles and are significantly easier and cheaper to repair if damaged. Pros can explain the long-term value.
Where is the cheapest place to buy pavers?
Finding the best value for pavers in Philadelphia often involves working with experienced professionals. They typically have established relationships with local suppliers and can source quality materials at competitive prices, factoring in delivery to your specific location. Ask for their recommendations.
Do I really need sand under pavers?
Yes, a layer of sand is essential for paver installation in Philadelphia. It provides a level bedding surface for the pavers, allowing for minor adjustments and ensuring a smooth, even finish. This is critical for stability and longevity in the region's climate.
How much would a 20x20 paver patio cost?
The cost of a 20x20 paver patio in Philadelphia depends on the paver style, design complexity, and necessary site preparation. Factors like excavation depth, drainage systems, and any required retaining walls will impact the final price. Call for a precise quote.
What is meant by hardscaping?

What is an example of hardscaping?
A paver patio for outdoor entertaining, a stone walkway through your garden, or a decorative retaining wall are common hardscaping examples. These features enhance usability and visual interest. Many Philadelphia homeowners also incorporate fire pits or built-in seating into their designs.
