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
A patio is a ground-level outdoor space, usually paved with stone or concrete, used for dining or recreation. You need a patio when you want to extend your living space into the backyard and create a flat, clean surface that is separate from your lawn. It acts as the anchor for your outdoor life, providing a stable foundation that keeps your furniture clean and creates a defined area for your family to gather.
Frequently asked in Scottsdale
Is it cheaper to lay concrete or pavers in Scottsdale?
The initial cost can be comparable, but pavers often offer better longevity and repairability in the Scottsdale heat. Concrete can crack due to temperature fluctuations and soil expansion. Pavers allow for individual piece replacement, making repairs more cost-effective and maintaining your patio's appearance.
Where is the cheapest place to buy pavers for my patio?
Do I really need sand under pavers for my patio?
Yes, a sand bedding layer is critical for paver installation. It provides a uniform surface to set the pavers on, allowing for precise leveling and minor adjustments. This layer also helps with drainage, which is vital for a long-lasting patio in Scottsdale's climate.
How much would a 20x20 paver patio cost in Scottsdale?
The cost of a 20x20 paver patio in Scottsdale depends on the paver style, complexity of the design, and any necessary site preparation. Concrete patios are also an option to consider. A personalized quote from the pros will give you the most accurate pricing for your project.

What is an example of hardscaping for my backyard?
