Poured concrete is the budget choice; stamped concrete adds pattern for a few dollars more; pavers and brick cost more but are easy to repair; natural stone is the premium look. Base prep, patterns and local labor affect price.
How it’s calculated & sources
Cost = area (length × width) × installed per-sq-ft rate for the material. Estimates are then scaled by a regional construction-cost factor for your area (U.S. average = 1.00).
Cost ranges from 2025–26 national home-improvement data (HomeAdvisor, Angi, Fixr and industry guides); regional factors approximate RS Means-style city cost indices. National average patio \u2248 $15/sq ft installed \u2014 concrete $9\u201318, pavers $12\u201330, natural stone $15\u201335.
Results update as you type and are estimates, not a quote — site conditions, permits, and finishes move the final number. Verify with local pros.
Worked example
A 16×14 paver patio (224 sq ft) runs about $4,000 nationally (~$18/sq ft).
Frequently asked questions
Is labor included?
Yes \u2014 the rates are installed (material plus labor).
Why are pavers pricier than concrete?
More material and labor to set on a compacted base, but they resist cracking and are repairable.
How does region change it?
The estimate is scaled by a regional cost factor, so the same patio costs more in higher-cost areas.
