Paver Patio Installation Costs By Size
If you wish to save some money on your patio project, it’s important to keep in mind that the larger the area you want to cover with pavers, the more expensive it will be. Most installers charge by the square foot, which means extra space can cost a fair amount of additional cash. Generally speaking, installing a paver patio typically costs between $32 – $60 per square foot for labor and materials combined!
If you want to have an idea of how much ground your patio will cover, here are the estimated costs for various patio sizes:
| Patio Size | Typical Range | Average |
|---|---|---|
| 100 sq ft | $3,200 – $6,000 | $4,600 |
| 200 sq ft | $6,400 – $12,000 | $9,200 |
| 300 sq ft | $9,600 – $18,000 | $13,800 |
| 400 sq ft | $12,800 – $24,000 | $18,400 |
| 500 sq ft | $16,000 – $30,000 | $23,000 |
| 600 sq ft | $19,200 – $36,000 | $27,600 |
| 700 sq ft | $22,400 – $42,000 | $32,200 |
These figures reflect a standard layout. Site regrading, difficult access, or intricate patterns will push costs toward the higher end of any given range.
Paver Patio Installation Cost by Material
| Material | Cost per Sq Ft. (Installed) |
|---|---|
| Concrete pavers | $30 – $60 |
| Brick (clay) pavers | $32 – $60 |
| Interlocking pavers | $32 – $60 |
| Natural stone pavers | $30 – $60 |
| Flagstone | $45 – $80 |
Flagstone sits at the top of the range for good reason. It’s the most demanding material to install correctly, and it shows in the finished product.
Concrete pavers offer the widest range of colors, textures, and styles at a more accessible price point. Brick and interlocking options fall in the middle and are well-suited to custom patterns.

4 Factors That Affect Paver Patio Installation Cost
- Labor: In Denver, labor runs $5 to $15 per square foot depending on experience and complexity, or $50 to $80 per hour.
- Pattern and design complexity: Custom curves and tight corners require precise cuts and significantly more time than a standard herringbone or running bond layout.
- Site conditions: Denver's Front Range soil and repeated freeze-thaw cycles at elevation typically demand deeper base preparation than most of the country requires. That means more gravel, more compaction, and more labor.
- Intended use: A patio built to support a hot tub or heavy outdoor furniture needs a different base spec than one designed for dining and lounging.
- Add-ons: Fire pits, outdoor kitchens, step landings, retaining walls, and lighting each add their own line items to the scope.
