Hardscape Cost

What Does Hardscaping Cost?

      The major costs of hardscaping are:

  • Materials- pavers, retaining wall blocks, gravel, etc.

  • Labor & equipment- the cost of manual labor and equipment

  • Site Preparation & Access-

    • objects or structures to remove

    • narrow openings- can slow production

    • long-distance travel for equipment

    • dump fees- cost to dump debris like concrete, soil, lumber, etc.

Cost of Pavers

     The cost of pavers varies from around $3.50 per square foot to $15 per square foot or more.  This is just the cost of the paver and nothing else.  The biggest differences that make the cost of a paver vary is the:

  • Texture

  • Color

  • Tumbled vs. Non-Tumbled 

  • Sealed and Non-Sealed

  • Manufacturing Process

 

    For example, tumbled pavers are more expensive than non-tumbled because of the extra processing they go through.  Similarly, pavers that are sealed from the factory are more expensive than unsealed pavers.
