Question 1

Do you charge for an estimate or design suggestions?

Accepted Answer

There's no charge for our initial site visit or proposal. Besides gathering measurements and other information needed for a proposal, we'll also go over some design ideas for your project and discuss whether formal design drawings are necessary. Visit our Landscape Design page for more information on design plans and costs.

Question 2

What does a patio cost?

Accepted Answer

Every project is unique so there's no easy answer to that question. There are many factors to consider, including choice of materials and complexity of project. But, a minimum budget of $25 per square-foot is reasonable.

For example, a 15'x20' paver patio is 300sqft. 300 x $25 = $7,500

For a more accurate assessment, schedule a consultation with Justin. He'll help you explore all the options, and set a budget for your project.
