What affects the price

The final price for your hardscape project depends on a few key factors. First, the size of the area and the specific materials you choose—like natural stone versus standard concrete—will change the bottom line. Site conditions also matter; if your yard requires significant grading, drainage work, or removal of old structures, costs will rise. Complex patterns or built-in features like fire pits and retaining walls add labor time. Exact pricing confirmed free on the call.

About this service

This process involves excavating the site, installing a crushed stone base, and setting individual stones to create a solid surface. You need this service when you want to upgrade a muddy or uneven backyard area into a usable living space. A professional installation ensures the pavers are properly bordered and locked in place, which prevents shifting over time and creates a reliable foundation for your outdoor furniture and guests.

Frequently asked in Des Moines

Is it cheaper to lay concrete or pavers?

Pavers are far more resilient than concrete in the Des Moines climate. While concrete will eventually crack due to our cold winters, pavers flex and move without breaking. A pro can visit your home to explain how this flexibility makes pavers the smarter, more cost-effective choice for long-term enjoyment in Des Moines.

Where is the cheapest place to buy pavers?

Do I really need sand under pavers?

Sand is the most critical element for a Des Moines paver project. It allows the stones to shift slightly during our freezing winters without causing structural damage. When the crew arrives at your property, they will ensure the sand base is properly prepared to protect your investment for years to come.

How much would a 20x20 paver patio cost?
