Paver Patio FAQ
Raleigh and Lake Gaston NC
How much does a paver patio cost in Raleigh?
1
While final pricing depends on site slope, drainage needs, and whether a retaining wall is needed to level the area, a standard 200-square-foot paver patio (such as a 12' x 16') generally ranges from $5,500 to $6,500. Contact us for an exact on-site quote for your space.
Pavers vs. Concrete—which is better?
2
While poured concrete has a lower upfront cost, pavers deliver far greater long-term value and durability. In our local clay soils, ground movement and seasonal temperature shifts can cause poured concrete to crack over time. Interlocking pavers flex with the ground to prevent cracking and allow individual stones to be seamlessly removed and replaced if underground repairs are ever required.
Do you install flagstone patios?
3
Yes, typically over a concrete patio or base.
Can you build a paver patio around an existing tree?
4
Yes, but it depends on the size of the tree. We avoid building directly against a tree trunk to protect its vital root system and allow space for natural growth. Whether we can build nearby depends on the tree’s size, species, and overall root footprint.
Can you incorporate a fire pit into a paver patio?
5
Yes. We specialize in custom paver patio and fire pit builds. We typically construct fire pits directly on top of the completed paver patio rather than digging out a recessed space. This ensures maximum structural integrity, proper water drainage, and a cleaner, long-lasting finish.
