How much does a paver patio cost?

The cost depends on the size of the patio, the type of pavers you choose, and how complex the design is. A basic 12x12 patio with standard pavers will cost less than a large, multi-level patio with premium materials and built-in features. We provide detailed estimates that break down all the costs so you know exactly what you are paying for. We can also work with your budget to prioritize what matters most.

How long do paver patios last?

A properly installed paver patio can last 25 to 50 years or more. Pavers themselves are incredibly durable and resist cracking better than poured concrete. The key is having a solid base and correct installation. If you maintain your patio by occasionally adding joint sand and sealing the pavers every few years, it will look great for decades.

Can you match existing hardscaping or work around current features?

Yes, we can extend existing patios, match paver styles and colors, and work around trees, gardens, and other features. If you have an older patio that needs expansion or updating, we can blend new work with what you already have. We can also incorporate existing elements like trees or boulders into the new design. Just let us know what you want to keep, and we will work around it.

Why Add Hardscaping to Your Property

Hardscaping is one of the best investments you can make in your property. Unlike plants that take time to mature, hardscape features deliver instant impact. A well-built patio, walkway, or retaining wall transforms how you use your outdoor space and how your property looks from the street.

At RelyNow Dunwoody Landscapers, we specialize in creating hardscape features that are built to last. We use quality materials, proper installation techniques, and careful planning to ensure your patio, walkway, or retaining wall stands up to weather, time, and regular use. When we build something, it stays built.

Hardscaping also solves problems. Muddy areas become usable walkways. Sloped yards get level spaces for seating or play areas. Boring backyards turn into entertainment spaces where you actually want to spend time. These are not just cosmetic improvements. They make your property more functional and more valuable.

Hardscape Features We Build

We handle all types of hardscape projects, from simple walkways to complete outdoor living spaces. Our crew has the experience and equipment to tackle projects of any size. Here are some of the most popular hardscape features we install:

Paver Patios

A paver patio is one of the most versatile outdoor features you can add. You can use it for outdoor dining, a fire pit area, or just a place to relax outside. Pavers come in many styles, colors, and patterns, so you can create a look that matches your home. They are also durable and easy to maintain. Professional hardscaping installation ensures proper base preparation and long-lasting results. If a paver gets damaged, you can replace just that one piece instead of tearing out the whole patio.

Walkways and Paths

Walkways do more than just get you from point A to point B. They add structure to your landscape and protect your lawn from wear. A well-placed walkway can direct traffic through your yard, create definition between different areas, and add curb appeal. We build walkways from pavers, natural stone, or concrete, depending on your style and budget.

Retaining Walls

If you have a sloped yard or drainage issues, a retaining wall can solve both problems. Retaining walls hold back soil, create level spaces, and prevent erosion. They also add dimension and interest to your landscape. We build walls that are engineered correctly, so they do not shift, lean, or fail over time.

Outdoor Living Spaces

More homeowners are turning their backyards into extensions of their living space. We can create complete outdoor rooms with patios, seating walls, fire features, and built-in grills. These spaces add serious value to your home and give you a place to entertain or unwind after a long day.

How We Build Hardscape Features That Last

The difference between a hardscape project that lasts decades and one that starts failing in a few years comes down to how it is built. We do not cut corners. We follow proven techniques and use the right materials to ensure your hardscape stands the test of time.

Proper Base Preparation

Everything starts with the base. We excavate to the correct depth, compact the soil, and install a proper gravel base. This prevents settling, shifting, and drainage problems. Skipping these steps is what causes patios to sink or pavers to become uneven. We do it right from the ground up.

Quality Materials

We use premium pavers, stone, and other materials that are designed for outdoor use. We also use the correct edge restraints, joint sand, and sealers to keep everything locked in place. Using cheap materials or substitutes might save money upfront, but it costs more in the long run when things fail.

Attention to Drainage

Water is the enemy of hardscaping. If water pools on your patio or gets trapped behind a retaining wall, it will cause problems. We grade everything correctly, install drainage where needed, and make sure water flows away from structures. This is something most homeowners never think about, but it makes a huge difference.

Professional Craftsmanship

Our crew has been installing hardscape features for years. We know how to cut pavers for tight fits, create smooth transitions, and handle tricky details. The finished product looks clean, level, and professionally done. We also work efficiently and keep the job site organized. When we are done, we clean up everything and haul away all debris.

If you are also planning landscaping around your new hardscape features, we can coordinate that too. Our landscape design services can integrate your new patio or walkway into a complete outdoor design. We can also help with lighting to highlight your hardscape at night.
