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.

Frequently asked in St. Louis
Is it cheaper to lay concrete or pavers?
Concrete often has a lower upfront installation cost than pavers. However, concrete can be susceptible to cracking and spalling in St. Louis's climate, potentially leading to more expensive repairs over time. Pavers offer a more durable and repairable option, allowing individual units to be replaced, which can be more cost-effective in the long run.
Where is the cheapest place to buy pavers?
The cost of pavers varies based on material and supplier. For the most accurate and cost-effective solution for your St. Louis project, it's best to get a quote directly from the installation professionals. They can recommend high-quality, budget-friendly paver options that are well-suited for the local environment.
Do I really need sand under pavers?
Yes, a layer of bedding sand is crucial for a successful paver installation. It creates a smooth, level surface for laying the pavers and allows for proper drainage, preventing water from pooling. This sand layer also helps to interlock the pavers, ensuring a stable and durable patio or walkway.
How much would a 20x20 paver patio cost?
What is meant by hardscaping?
Hardscaping refers to the non-living components of your landscape design. This includes features like patios, walkways, driveways, retaining walls, and outdoor kitchens. It provides structure, functionality, and aesthetic appeal to your outdoor living spaces.
What is an example of hardscaping?
A beautiful paver patio in a St. Louis backyard, perfect for hosting family and friends, is a prime example of hardscaping. Other examples include a durable paver driveway, an inviting walkway leading to your front door, or a decorative garden wall.
