Common questions about costs and estimates for this service.
A 20x20 patio is 400 square feet. Using the typical Atlanta range of $18–$40 per square foot, a 400 square foot stone patio would cost roughly $7,200 to $16,000. For a more basic option, at $7 per square foot, it could be $2,800, while a premium option at $50 per square foot could be $20,000.
While costs vary, materials for stone pavers can range from $7.00 - $15.00 per square foot, with additional costs for gravel base ($0.75 - $1.50 per square foot) and sand bedding ($0.40 - $0.80 per square foot). Labor for stone paver installation generally ranges from $4–$11 per square foot, or $50 to $80 per hour for a professional contractor. The total per square foot range of $18–$40 typically includes both.
The type of stone is a primary cost driver. Basic stone pavers might be $7–$15 per square foot. Natural stone or flagstone patios typically cost $18–$40 per square foot. Premium materials like porcelain or high-end natural stone can push costs to $35–$50+ per square foot due to higher material expenses and potentially more specialized installation techniques.
Beyond materials and direct labor, consider potential costs for extensive site preparation (e.g., significant grading, removal of existing structures, or additional base materials beyond standard), difficult site access, retaining walls or steps if integrated into the design, and permits if required. Always factor in waste and a contingency for unforeseen site conditions.
A 'basic' project ($7–$15 per sq ft) typically uses lower-cost stone pavers and has a simple, straightforward design. A 'premium' project ($35–$50 per sq ft) involves high-end materials like porcelain or top-grade natural stone, often features more complex designs such as intricate patterns, custom cuts, varied levels, integrated features, and demands a higher level of professional installation and finish.
