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.

Frequently asked in St. Louis
Is it cheaper to lay concrete or pavers?
Pavers are often a better investment in St. Louis because they handle our freeze-thaw cycles better than solid concrete slabs. While concrete is cheaper to pour, it is prone to cracking that is impossible to fix invisibly. Pros serving St. Louis neighborhoods prefer pavers for their longevity and the ease of performing localized repairs.
Where is the cheapest place to buy pavers?
The best deals on pavers in the St. Louis area come from local masonry suppliers rather than national retailers. The specialist you work with will have the industry connections to source high-quality stones at reasonable prices. Let the pros handle the ordering to ensure you get the right materials for your project.
Do I really need sand under pavers?
Yes, a properly installed sand base is essential for any St. Louis patio. It allows for the necessary drainage and flexibility during the wet spring months and freezing winters. Without this crucial layer, your pavers will shift and sink, leading to an uneven surface that is difficult and costly to fix later.
How much would a 20x20 paver patio cost?
