Patios take the worst of it: shade, foot traffic, food, furniture rust and standing water. Pavers need particular care, because too much pressure strips the joint sand and leaves you with a wobbly patio and a weed problem. So we match the approach to the surface instead of running everything flat out. Most patios land between $75 and $150 depending on size and condition. If you are having the pool deck done as well, it is worth quoting them together.
