The Average Cost of a Paved Patio

Types

• There are different materials available for installing a paved patio that vary in price and quality. For example, a concrete-poured patio costs $6 per square foot, according to Landscape Design Advice. If you're adding color or stamped designs into the concrete, expect the price to increase up to $15 per square foot. Natural stone set in concrete typically costs $60 per square foot, while travertine pavers cost $22 per square foot to install.

Size

• The overall size and shape of your patio will determine how much materials and labor will cost. If your patio requires various levels, raised borders or anything requiring extra labor, expect to pay more.

Considerations

• Do-it-yourself patio projects will save you a significant amount of money. Just picking up the supplies and doing labor yourself saves you hundreds to thousands of dollars.

  Hire a licensed and experienced professional if you've never built a patio before or if your project is of extensive size and complicated design.
