Written by HomeAdvisor.

The average cost to build a patio is around $3,794. Depending on patio material,
upgrades, and size, the cost of installing a new patio or pathway will range
between $1,952 and $5,712. 

Patios and pathways are excellent ways to add not only curb appeal, but make
your outdoor space more practical when you add in items such as a pool or
outdoor kitchen.

2022 Notice: Material Prices Are Surging

Demand for siding and other building materials has grown over the past year. And
as a result, manufacturers are increasing materials prices. Prices have gone up
5% to 10% this year, and many parts of the country are experiencing long
delivery times. If you're planning a building project, we recommend starting as
early as possible in the season, preparing for potential price fluctuations, and
allowing extra time to order materials.

TOP FACTORS THAT AFFECT YOUR PATIO COST

Materials and labor make up the majority of your costs, no matter how modest or
massive your build. While you might have some minor outlying expenses, they
likely won’t make a significant impact on your budget. But, as with all home
improvement projects, it’s best to add a buffer to your budget.


HOW YOUR PATIO COST BREAKS DOWN

See the estimated average percentages your factors contribute to your total
cost.

Materials and Size
55%
Labor
45%


1. MATERIALS AND SIZE

Budget at least $2,100 for the average cost of a patio build. However, if you’d
like more luxurious materials or a bigger build, budget at least $3,025. Plan to
spend an average of $27.50 per square foot, depending on your materials.


2. LABOR

Budget no less than $1,700 for labor. If you plan on working with expensive
materials or on a larger or more complex project, budget at least $2,500.


WHAT YOUR PATIO BUDGET GETS YOU

Expect to pay about $3,800 for the average patio installation or remodel.
However, you can easily build or extend a modest-yet-functional patio for well
under this figure, or build a more expansive patio at $5,500 or more.


My budget is $2,000 - $3,000 $3,000 - $4,000 $4,000 - $5,500

1
Materials and Size

Choose cost-effective materials.

 * Plan to spend $1,100–$,1,650 on materials, depending on which you choose. For
   small spaces, opt to create a raised patio, extend your existing patio, or
   choose gravel, as it’s the most affordable material.

 * Build up to a 400-sq.-ft. patio with the most cost-effective materials.
   However, this size will scratch any budget.



Average Price:
$1,375
2
Labor

Consider DIYing.

 * Plan to pay a pro around $900–$1,350 to install your patio. For large or more
   intricate builds, budget about $1,400.

 * Save significantly by DIYing modest patio builds. You can install a gravel
   patio by yourself for $1–$4 per sq. ft.



Average Price:
$1,125

1
Materials and Size

Elevate your patio.

 * Budget $1,650–$2,200 for a spacious or creative patio build. You can
   construct a patio of up to 400 sq. ft., depending on the materials you
   choose. However, expect a smaller build.

 * Depending on your materials, you might include a modest pergola or other
   high-end feature.



Average Price:
$1,925
2
Labor

DIY or hire a pro.

 * Plan to pay about $1,350–$1,800 in labor for your patio project. 

 * Decide between DIYing and hiring a pro based on your level of experience,
   project complexity, and budget. Cut virtually all labor costs by DIY-ing.
   However, DIY mistakes are costly; if you want a complex build with pricey
   materials, hire a pro.



Average Price:
$1,575

1
Materials and Size

Splurge where you can.

 * Anticipate spending $2,200–$3,025 depending on the material and patio size. A
   400-sq.-ft. patio is within reach, though you’ll be limited on material
   choices.

 * Expect to build around 100 sq. ft. of patio with higher-end materials, like
   flagstone, travertine, limestone, marble, slate, or granite. If you build a
   pergola, you’ll face size restrictions.



Average Price:
$2,615
2
Labor

Don’t DIY (in most cases).

 * Allot about $1,800–$2,475 for labor, depending on the materials you choose
   and patio’s size. 

 * Only DIY if you have experience of intricate builds. Pros are well worth
   their prices to ensure you get the build you want, especially when working
   with high-end materials for intricate and/or large designs.



Average Price:
$2,135


PATIO INSTALLATION COST PER SQUARE FOOT

The cost to install a new patio will fall between $5 to $50 per square foot.
Like most projects, you’ll find the cost per square foot decreases as the size
of the project increases. 

Typical prices for different patio sizes fall between:

Patio Size Average Cost 7x7 ft $250 – $2,500 10x10 ft $500 – $5,000 12x12 ft
$750 – $7,200 16x18 ft $1,450 – $14,500 20x20 ft $2,000 – $20,000


RAISED PATIO COST

Raised patios cost around $2 to $6 per square foot on top of the cost of the
patio material. Unlike surface-level patios, raised patios will pour a layer of
concrete underneath and then lay the patio material on top of it. This cuts down
on costs significantly, as the concrete underneath doesn’t impact the aesthetic
of the patio itself.


PATIO EXTENSION COSTS

Patio extensions will still cost around $5 to $50 per square foot, as nothing
entirely changes between a fresh installation and an extension. You still need
to level the area, lay out the materials, and build from the ground up. The
total project cost will likely be lower than your initial project, unless you’re
building the extension as large as the initial patio.


PATIO PRICES BY MATERIAL

The cost of patio materials will range from $1 to $35 per square foot. Simple
gravel patios will come in at the lowest end, at $1 to $4 per square foot.
Granite cobblestone and flagstones will range from $11 to $35 per square foot on
the high end.


POURED AND STAMPED CONCRETE

A simple concrete patio costs around $3 to $6 per square foot. Poured concrete
patio total costs will vary based on the thickness of the concrete slab. Opting
for a stamped concrete patio will cost you around $8 to $28 per square foot.


GRAVEL

The cost of a pea gravel patio will fall between $1 to $4 per square foot.
Gravel patios are relatively easy to install yourself or with a professional,
which is why it typically has the lowest price per square foot for materials and
labor.


NATURAL STONE AND FLAGSTONE

A natural stone patio will cost around $6 to $35 per square foot, depending on
the material. Common materials for natural stone patios include:

Stone Material Average Material Cost per Square Foot Sandstone/flagstone $3 –
$15 Travertine $5 – $15 Limestone $6 – $13 Marble $7 – $20 Slate $10 – $30
Granite $10 – $35


BRICK AND CONCRETE PAVERS

Brick paver patios will cost around $8 to $19 per square foot to install.
Concrete paver patios will cost around $4.50 to $21 per square foot to install.
Paver patios aren’t limited to only brick or concrete, as you can also have
flagstone, cobblestone, or limestone. 


PATIO UPGRADE COSTS

You can easily make your patio feel more like your own by including upgrades.
Patio upgrades range from a cozy firepit to a full-blown outdoor kitchen.


BACKYARD PATIO WITH A FIREPIT

A backyard patio with a firepit will cost around $300 to $1,400 on average. You
can opt for a standalone firepit that’s already built for around $50 to $250. Or
you have one built into the patio for a seamless flow for anywhere from $300 to
$3,000.

And don’t forget to bring a gas line for the built-in firepit; on its own, it
will have a wide cost range, depending on your circumstances. There are also
chiminea, which includes a chimney on top of the firepit, which will cost
between $150 to $1,500.


OUTDOOR KITCHEN

Outdoor kitchens cost $5,500 to $22,000 on average. But you could end up paying
$50,000 or more for extremely large and high-end designs and installs. The only
limiting factors are your imagination, budget, and space.

“The appliances you chose significantly impact the terms of cost estimating,”
says Ezra Laniado, owner of Landmark Construction & Development Group, Inc. “Not
only that, but just like in a backyard built-in firepit, the proximity and ease
of access your outdoor kitchen has to water supply lines and drainage, a gas
supply line, and electrical supply will have a big impact on the final price.
Getting any of these utilities to your outdoor kitchen can range from a few
hundred dollars to thousands of dollars depending on your home’s layout.”


PATIO SITTING WALL

Patio sitting walls cost anywhere from $15 to $60 per square foot. Retaining
walls cost $3,200 to $8,700 or an average of $40 per square foot. You might need
one of these for structural reasons or just to split the area visually. Either
way, the material choices and size dictate your budget.


PATIO COVER OR ROOF

Patio cover costs $5,000 to $25,000 or higher. These can even hit $50,000 or
more if you opt for a high-end design, a large enclosure, insulation, or
high-end materials. The room can essentially become part of your home.


PERGOLAS

Pergolas will cost between $2,150 to $6,000 on average. Because of custom
designs, high-end materials, and size, you could pay upwards of $10,000 or more.
The typical pergola is 10-by-10 feet, but sizes can range from 8-by-8 feet to
18-by-16 feet.

Pergola Material Average Cost per Square Foot Aluminum $10 – $30 Vinyl $10 – $30
Cedar $25 – $35 Redwood $40 – $50 Trex $50 – $60 Pine $25 – $40 Teak $35 – $55
Fiberglass $60 – $75


PATIO FURNITURE

Patio furniture will range from $100 to $5,000, but this realistically comes
down to your budget and what you want your patio to look like. You could only
want a single chair out there or set up an entire dining area for you and your
household.

 * A simple bistro set consists of two chairs and a small table: $70–$500. They
   are ideal for a small patio or to fill in an empty corner.

 * A conversation set: $250–$1,000. Slightly larger than a bistro set, the
   number of chairs ranges from two to as many as you can fit.

 * Dining sets: $500–$5,000. This price can vary depending on the size of the
   table and the number of chairs. Some may have an umbrella or shade of some
   sort.


LIGHTING

The cost of outdoor lighting will range from $2,000 to $4,500 for your entire
property. Patio lighting will allow you to set the ambiance and see in the dead
of night. Limiting the lighting to only your patio with solar lights will cut
down labor costs and not require electrical wiring to run to the patio.


LANDSCAPING

Landscaping will cost between $1,400 to $5,300, depending on whether or not you
want to overhaul your entire yard at the same time you build a patio. Adding in
an overhaul of landscaping may help with increasing the value of your property
while also shaping the patio into a centerpiece.


PATIO MAINTENANCE

Patio repairs will cost anywhere from $700 to $2,250 on average. If you want to
cut down on patio repairs, it’s important to maintain your patio to the fullest
degree. Ensure you’re resurfacing and resealing your patio every two to three
years. The cost of resealing and resurfacing your patio is around $1.50 to $3
per square foot.

Stay on top of washing your patio as well. The cost of power washing your patio
is around $200 to $400 on average. Tackle cracks as soon as possible to prevent
the cracks from worsening.


DIY PATIO COSTS

DIY gravel patios will cost around $1 to $4 per square foot for materials.
Gravel patios are relatively easy and require nothing more than time and a
shovel. These patios are easy to shape and don’t require much more than sheer
willpower.

For every other type of patio, it’s best to leave it to a patio installer near
you. Failing to pour concrete or lay pavers down correctly can lead to drainage
and flooring problems and even cause the patio to fail.


DIY COST VS. PROFESSIONAL INSTALLATION

The cost of labor to install a patio is around $5 to $15 per square foot. If the
average patio is around 100 square feet, then you’re looking at saving anywhere
from $500 to $1,500 for the entire project in terms of labor costs.

With any other patio besides gravel, you should look into spending the extra
$500 to $1,500. Patios routinely take between 30 to 50 hours to complete with
professional installation.
