Paver patios are priced per square foot. The installed price covers excavation, a compacted gravel base, a sand bedding layer, the pavers, edge restraints and joint sand. Labor is often more than half the cost, because the base work is what makes a patio last.
Enter the patio size, choose concrete pavers, brick or natural stone, and add removal, sealing or a fire pit. The estimator gives a low, typical and high installed cost with the labor split.
How the paver patio cost estimate works
- Enter the patio area in square feet.
- Multiply it by the installed price per sq ft for the material you chose.
- Adjust for design and your local cost level.
- Add the extras you ticked, such as removal, and any permit fee.
- Show the result as a low, typical and high total, split into materials, labor and fees.
Multiply length × width. A 12 × 16 ft patio is 192 sq ft, 20 × 20 ft is 400 sq ft. For curved patios, measure the bounding rectangle and subtract about 10%.
Paver Patio Cost by material
| Material | Installed per sq ft | Labor share | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Concrete pavers | $10.00–$22.00 | 60% | The most common choice. Many shapes, colors and textures. |
| Clay brick pavers | $12.00–$26.00 | 55% | Classic look and color that doesn't fade. |
| Natural stone (flagstone, bluestone, travertine) | $18.00–$45.00 | 50% | Highest cost. Irregular flagstone takes the most labor to fit. |

What affects paver patio cost
- Paver material. Concrete pavers are the cheapest; clay brick costs a little more and natural stone can cost two to three times as much.
- Base preparation. A proper base is 4 to 6 inches of compacted gravel plus 1 inch of sand. Poor drainage or soft soil may need more.
- Design complexity. Curves, borders, inlays and herringbone patterns mean more cutting and slower laying.
- Site and access. Sloped yards need excavation or a retaining wall. If machines can't reach the backyard, everything is moved by hand.
- Add-ons. Steps, seat walls, fire pits, lighting and sealing all add to the base price.
Frequently asked questions
How much does a paver patio cost?
A 300 square foot paver patio typically costs $3,000 to $6,600 in concrete pavers, $3,600 to $7,800 in brick, and $5,400 to $13,500 in natural stone.
How much does a 20x20 paver patio cost?
A 20 × 20 patio is 400 square feet, so roughly $4,000 to $8,800 in concrete pavers, or $7,200 to $18,000 in natural stone.
Are pavers cheaper than concrete?
Plain poured concrete is cheaper, at about $5 to $8 per square foot. Pavers cost more but are easier to repair, and they compete with stamped concrete on price.
Can I install a paver patio myself?
Yes, and it can save half the cost or more, but the excavation and base compaction are hard work. Rent a plate compactor and don't skimp on base depth.
