A well-designed paver patio can transform your outdoor space into a functional and beautiful area for relaxation and entertainment. If you’re interested in upgrading your yard, you’re most likely wondering about the cost. Let’s break down the factors that can influence 20×20 paver patio cost, so you have an idea of an estimated price range.

What is a Paver Patio?

A paver patio is an outdoor space with pavers: flat, traditionally rectangular, concrete or brick pieces. We lay pavers out in patterns on a prepared base of sand and gravel.

This type of patio continues to be popular among homeowners because of its durability, design versatility, and low maintenance!

How Big is a 20 x 20 Patio?

A 20 x 20 patio is 400 square feet. A good way to envision your future space? Plan for approximately 25 square feet per person. So, if you’re looking to host 15 people on your patio, 375-400 square feet would be more than enough to keep everyone comfortable. However, your ideal patio size also depends on other elements you’re planning to have out there: firepit, grill, water feature, etc. 

Our team can work with you to find the right balance for your space as we design your patio and talk through your potential patio cost per square foot.

Here are a few of the factors that can influence paver patio cost. 

  1. Type of Pavers: The pavers material you choose can significantly impact the overall cost. Common options include concrete,  brick, and stone, which vary in price and durability. Concrete pavers are typically a more affordable option, while brick pavers can be slightly more expensive. Cut and patterned stone pavers are typically the most expensive option.
  2. Base Preparation: Proper base preparation is crucial for the longevity of your patio. This involves excavation, grading, and adding a compacted gravel and sand layer.
  3. Labor Costs: Professional installation ensures quality and durability for your new outdoor space. These costs can vary depending on the complexity of the design.
  4. Design and Additional Features: Adding intricate patterns, borders, or other design features can increase costs. The same goes for incorporating retaining walls, steps, built-in seating, or planters—these can significantly contribute to the overall paver patio cost but can also make your space feel more personalized and comfortable.
