How Much Does it Cost to Build a Patio?

Features

• Features such as patio materials, site preparation and patio design influence the price of building a patio. For example, a basic 10x20 feet concrete slab patio costs $2,000, while a similar-sized flagstone patio may run you $3,600, according to Costhelper.com. Adding texture or custom designs into your patio will raise the overall cost.

Size

• The more square footage your patio will be, the more materials and labor will be required to build it. If you're building a large patio, consider doing some of the labor yourself to save money.

Considerations

• The spending doesn't stop after the patio is built. To complete your patio, adorn it with accessories such as furniture, a grill, plants and sun protection. Adding accessories to your patio generally increases the price by $200 to $5,000, according to Costhelper.com.
