So you’ve decided to use your tax return toward creating a beautiful oasis in your backyard. You want to start by putting in a brick paver patio but you aren’t exactly sure how much it will cost.
Initial Considerations
When planning a paver patio project, several factors influence pricing:
Material Selection – The type and quality of materials significantly affect costs. Options include stone, gravel, outdoor tile, or brick pavers.
Labor vs. DIY – Homeowners can tackle installation themselves or hire professionals. Professional installation is recommended to prevent future structural problems, as improper installation can cause pavers to shift over time.
Pricing Overview
Paver patios can cost anywhere from $16-$25/sf (and up) depending on the complexity of the project. Interestingly, smaller patios often have higher per-square-foot costs due to overhead and material delivery expenses.
Additional Cost Factors
Several elements can increase your overall expenses:
- Aesthetic additions – Features like fire pits or decorative elements
- Site obstructions – Removing existing structures such as decks or trees
- Yard grading – Leveling uneven terrain or addressing slopes requires extra labor and materials

We recommend consulting with experienced patio contractors to get accurate quotes for your specific project. Professional guidance helps ensure your investment creates a lasting outdoor space.
