Where The Money Actually Goes
Two patios of the same size can be $20,000 apart. Almost always it's the base, the material grade and the features — not the labor rate.
GOOD
Great quality and value.
Proven pavers and wall units, clean layouts and the base details that make a space last through New England winters.
Typical budget factor 1.0×
BETTER
Upgraded appearance, selections and features.
Larger format or textured units, accent borders, a seat wall or fire feature, and lighting that extends the season.
Typical budget factor ≈1.3×
BEST
Premium products and outdoor-living experience.
Top-tier collections, natural stone accents, outdoor kitchen, full lighting design and a finished landscape package.
