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 includes the tables, benches, and lounge pieces designed specifically for outdoor weather resistance. You need these when you want to turn a bare hardscape area into a functional living space. Choosing the right materials is a major factor in cost; higher-end teak or powder-coated aluminum will increase the budget compared to basic synthetic options.

Frequently asked in Fort Collins
Is it cheaper to lay concrete or pavers?
Concrete generally has a lower initial installation cost than pavers. However, pavers can be more economical long-term due to their ease of repair. If a paver is damaged, it can be replaced individually, unlike concrete which often requires more extensive resurfacing. Discuss your priorities with a local pro for the best advice.
Where is the cheapest place to buy pavers?
Do I really need sand under pavers?
Yes, a layer of sand is absolutely essential for a successful paver installation. It serves as a bedding layer, allowing for fine adjustments to create a perfectly level and smooth surface. The sand also helps to interlock the pavers, providing stability and preventing them from shifting or becoming uneven over time. Proper base preparation is key.
How much would a 20x20 paver patio cost?
What is meant by hardscaping?
Hardscaping refers to the non-living, structural elements of your landscape design. This includes features like paver patios, walkways, driveways, retaining walls, outdoor fireplaces, and water features. It's about building the solid, functional components that define and enhance your outdoor living areas and add to your property's overall appeal and usability.
What is an example of hardscaping?
A beautifully installed paver patio is a prime example of hardscaping, creating a solid and attractive space for outdoor enjoyment. Other examples include a durable paver driveway, a functional walkway connecting different areas of your yard, or a decorative retaining wall to manage slopes. These elements add both aesthetic appeal and practical utility to your property.
