INVESTMENT OF A PAVER PATIO
What Goes Into Designing a Custom Paver Patio?
A great patio starts long before the first paver is installed.
Our designers consider how the patio relates to your home, property and complete outdoor environment.
That includes:
-
How you plan to use the space
-
Patio size and proportions
-
Furniture placement
-
Dining and entertaining areas
-
Traffic flow
-
Existing elevations
-
Grading and drainage
-
Steps and transitions
-
Material selection
-
Surrounding landscaping
-
Future outdoor living features
For larger projects, the patio may also need to accommodate an outdoor kitchen, pavilion, fireplace, pool environment or retaining walls.The goal isn't simply to determine where the patio goes.
It's to understand how the patio should function as part of the entire property.
What Can Be Included in a Paver Patio Design?
Every property is different but hardscape design can include a wide range of structural and outdoor living features.

COST OF PAVER PATIO
How Much Does a Paver Patio Cost in Columbus, Ohio?
There isn't one universal price for a custom paver patio.
The overall investment can depend on:
-
Patio size
-
Paver and material selection
-
Existing site conditions
-
Excavation and base preparation
-
Grading
-
Drainage
-
Property access
-
Steps and elevation changes
-
Retaining walls
-
Design complexity
-
Additional outdoor living features
Two patios with the same square footage can require very different levels of construction.
For example, a patio on a relatively flat property with easy access is different from a patio requiring significant excavation, retaining walls, drainage improvements and multiple elevations.
That's why we evaluate the property, design and complete scope rather than relying exclusively on a generic cost-per-square-foot number.

DIFFERENCE BETWEEN PAVER AND CONCRETE PATIOS
Pavers vs. Concrete: Which Is Better for a Patio in Ohio?
Both materials can be used to create outdoor living spaces, but they offer different advantages.
Pavers give homeowners significant flexibility in color, texture, pattern and overall design. Individual units can also make localized repairs possible without replacing an entire patio surface.
For Central Ohio properties, however, the finished material is only part of the equation.
Proper excavation, base preparation, grading, drainage and installation are critical to long-term patio performance through changing seasons and freeze-thaw conditions.
The best material depends on your property, design goals, desired aesthetic and long-term expectations.
How Are Paver Patios Installed?
A professionally installed paver patio involves much more than placing pavers on the ground.
While every property is different, patio construction generally requires careful attention to:
Site Preparation
Existing conditions are evaluated and the area is prepared for the proposed patio.
Excavation
Soil and existing materials are removed to establish the appropriate depth and elevations.
Base Preparation
The patio receives a properly prepared foundation designed to support the finished surface.
Grading & Drainage
The patio needs to work with the property's elevations while appropriately managing water.
Paver Installation
Selected materials are installed according to the approved design, pattern and layout.
Finishing & Integration
Edges, steps, walls and surrounding features are completed so the patio feels integrated into the property.
What happens underneath a patio is just as important as the finished surface you see.
