Frequently Asked Questions
How accurate is this patio calculator?
Our calculator provides estimates based on national averages for materials and labor. Actual costs may vary by 15–25% depending on site conditions, excavation, and regional labor rates.
What is cheaper: concrete or pavers?
Plain concrete is the cheapest at $4–$8/sq ft. Pavers cost $10–$20/sq ft installed but offer better drainage, easier repairs, and higher aesthetics. Stamped concrete ($12–$18/sq ft) mimics pavers at a lower cost.
Does the estimate include excavation?
Yes. Our base estimate includes site preparation, grading, and a 4-inch gravel base. Special soil conditions or rock excavation may add $500–$2,000.
