When you are ready to create an outdoor space, a paver patio is a great option. Pavers are durable and available in many styles and colors that will add character to your home. They have a natural appearance that is better than concrete slabs. However, they can be more expensive to install than a concrete patio.
Concrete patio prices can vary depending on several factors including the type and complexity of the design, labor requirements, and cost of the concrete. A basic concrete patio will cost you $4 per square feet, while one that is stained or stamped can run $30.
Cost of pouring concrete patio
The average cost to pour new concrete patios is $550-1,650. This includes costs for removing concrete and preparing the area to pour concrete. It covers drainage pipes and a French drain for the soil depending on how large the area is.
Paver Patios
The cost of paving a patio in brick or stone depends on the material chosen and the complexity of the design. A simple patio using red or grey bricks can cost between $10 and $25 (CAD 13 to 33 for 33 square feet). If you choose a more expensive option, like natural stone or slate, the cost can reach $40 or more per square foot.
Patios with cobblestone and other less-common types of pavers may be more expensive than brick or concrete due to the extra labor involved in laying them. Additional features, such as a retaining and fire pit wall, water feature, or fire pit can add to the cost of your patio.
Pavers are also more costly than concrete because they are more susceptible to damage and require more care. You have two options: hire a professional or DIY your job to replace worn out pavers.
Sealing concrete patio
A waterproof sealant is applied to patio surfaces by professionals to prevent moisture from seeingping through concrete. This sealant protects your investment and prevents cracking.
You can purchase concrete sealant at any local home improvement shop or landscape supply business. There are several types of sealants available, including acrylic as well as polyurethane. The choice of sealant will depend on the type of material being used and how porous it is.
Concrete overlays are possible to be placed over existing patios. These are good options for homeowners who already own a concrete patio, but wish to add a new color, texture, or design.
Although paving a patio costs twice as much than a poured concrete one, it can be an attractive investment for those who want a more luxurious and appealing outdoor space. An additional feature that can enhance the value and appeal of your paver patio is adding seating or pergolas.
