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). Umuman olganda, oddiy o'lchamdagi veranda yoki yo'lak o'rnatilgan kvadrat metr uchun 15 dan 22 dollargacha ishlaydi. 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 O'zaro bog'langan beton qoplama instituti 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. To'rtburchaklar naqshli tosh uchun o'rnatilgan narx kvadrat metr uchun 18 dan 33 dollargacha. Noto'g'ri tosh - bu ko'proq vaqt talab qiladigan o'rnatish jarayoni, chunki maqsad bir xil, qattiq bo'g'inlarga ega qismlarni joylashtirishdir. Shu sababli, tartibsiz tosh uchun o'rnatilgan narx odatda kvadrat metr uchun 28 dan 40 dollargacha ishlaydi.
Agar siz toshning ko'rinishini yaxshi ko'rsangiz, lekin biroz arzonroq bo'lishni istasangiz, tosh changida toshli verandani tanlashingiz mumkin. Baza siqilgan agregatli tosh asos bo'lib, to'shak qatlami uchun tosh chang va quruq yotqizilgan toshning bo'g'inlari orasidagi tosh chang. Men ushbu dastur uchun faqat to'rtburchaklar naqshli toshni tavsiya qilaman, chunki tartibsiz toshning kichik qismlari juda oson harakatlanishi mumkin. 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.
