Cost by paver material
The paver you choose sets the material price:
| Paver material | Cost per square foot |
|---|---|
| Concrete | $8 to $15 |
| Brick or clay | $10 to $20 |
| Natural stone | $15 to $50 |
According to Angi, concrete pavers come in the most styles and colors, brick is easy to maintain but can chip or crack, and natural stone lasts a long time but can be harder to clean and may discolor over time.

What the price includes
A good quote lists each part of the job, so you can compare bids line by line. Expect to see:
- Excavating the patio area
- A compacted gravel base
- Geotextile fabric where the soil needs it
- A screeded sand bed
- The pavers, laid in your chosen pattern
- Edge restraints to keep the pavers from shifting
- Joint sand swept in and compacted
What pushes the price up
Size and material come first. After that, add-ons change the total fast: Angi puts a landscape design at $1,930 to $7,230, and a patio cover at about $4,000 for a pergola up to more than $30,000 for a full gable roof. Curves and intricate patterns take more cutting. Drainage matters too, and Angi notes that many cities require proper drainage materials under any new patio.
A quick way to estimate your patio
Multiply the length by the width, then by $8 to $25 per square foot. A 12x16 patio is 192 square feet, which comes to $1,536 to $4,800. Concrete pavers keep you near the low end, and natural stone pushes toward the top.
