When working on a landscape design, we always try to select the material that best complements the architecture of the home, the look and feel of the space, and the goals of the people using that space. All these are important considerations, but we all have budgets; people want to know, “what’s it going to cost?”
There’s a perception that pavers are less expensive than natural stone, and that is true in most circumstances. There are a wide range of paver choices and that is the biggest variable in pricing a project. On the super low end are the pavers sold at the big box stores, but I won’t even consider specifying these. Among the “real” paver choices, the least expensive choice is usually the paver that looks most like a brick in size and shape. Techo-Bloc sells these as Atlantis and Victorien, EP Henry calls them Brick Stone and Historic Brick Stone, and many other manufacturers sell them as Holland Stone. From there, the pricing is extremely variable, with Techo-Bloc’s Monticello paver being one of the more expensive I’ve seen (but a really cool product). 일반적으로 일반 크기의 파티오나 통로의 가격은 설치된 평방피트당 $15~$22입니다.. If you’re doing a larger area like a driveway or very large, open patio, the price per square foot may end up a good bit lower because the base preparation can be done with larger machines in less time.
It’s worth mentioning that not all installers follow the same procedures when installing pavers. If you’ve ever seen a paver project where depressions have formed over time, that occurred because of poor base prep. I won’t go into the details of proper prep here, because the 연동 콘크리트 포장 연구소 is considered the authority on the subject. If you’ve gotten wildly differing quotes for a project, ask them about their base prep. Everyone’s material costs will be roughly the same, so the base is often the difference.

What about stone? I’ve surprised some of my clients by presenting stone as a realistic option for their budget, when they’ve assumed it was out of reach. There are two styles of flagstone for typical installations. You have rectangular, pattern flagstone and then there’s irregular (aka broken) flagstone. The cleanest, most maintenance-free installation method is to pour a new concrete slab with the flagstone wet-laid with mortar. 직사각형 패턴의 판석의 경우 설치 가격은 평방피트당 $18~$33입니다.. 불규칙한 판석은 균일하고 단단한 조인트로 조각을 맞추는 것이 목표이므로 시간 집약적인 설치 과정입니다. 이런 이유로, 불규칙한 판석의 설치 가격은 일반적으로 평방피트당 28~40달러입니다.
돌의 외관을 좋아하지만 비용을 좀 더 저렴하게 하고 싶다면 돌가루로 된 판석 파티오를 선택할 수 있습니다. 기초는 다져진 골재석 기초로, 돌가루를 깔개층으로 하고, 돌가루를 건식 판석의 접합부 사이에 넣습니다. 불규칙한 판석의 작은 조각은 너무 쉽게 이동할 수 있으므로 이 적용에는 직사각형 패턴의 판석만 권장합니다. Flagstone in dust, as it’s often called, can run from $17 to $23 per square foot.
Big disclaimer time: these prices are based on historical averages of jobs in which I’ve participated. These prices are also for a patio or walkway that is going on mostly level, even ground, without a lot of excavation or additional base material needed. Demolition of an existing walk or patio will cost more, as will adding steps, retaining walls, or other features. If you have a newer home, you will have a lot of disturbed soil around your foundation. If the patio is very close to the house, your installer may recommend digging down to undisturbed soil for best results. This is expensive, but well worth it.
