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 Winston-Salem
Is it cheaper to lay concrete or pavers?
Generally, concrete has a lower upfront cost than pavers for installation in Winston-Salem. However, pavers often prove more cost-effective over the long term due to their durability and ease of repair. If a section of pavers is damaged, individual stones can be replaced, unlike a concrete slab that might require a larger, more expensive repair. The pros can walk you through the long-term value proposition.
Where is the cheapest place to buy pavers?
Finding the cheapest place to buy pavers in the Winston-Salem area involves comparing prices from local landscape supply yards and larger home improvement stores. Delivery fees can significantly impact the total cost, so factor those in. The pros you'll speak with can often recommend reliable suppliers or even source materials for you, potentially getting better pricing. It's always wise to get a few quotes before committing.
Do I really need sand under pavers?
Yes, you absolutely need a layer of sand, specifically paver base aggregate, under your pavers. This sand layer acts as a leveling bed, allowing for minor adjustments and providing a stable, interlocking surface. It's essential for proper drainage and preventing shifting or heaving, especially with Winston-Salem's occasional freeze-thaw cycles. The pros know the precise depth and type of sand needed.
