"We needed a small patio around our firepit. I went online and found a few contractors to get quotes from. Thomas Ortega responded quickly to my email. He and his partner Jose Marquez came out the same week to look at the job. They both were professional and experienced. We received a quote within a day. They had a small window of time available the following week. We hired them and couldn't be happier with the end result. So often when we have contacted a contractor our jobs are too small and we don't hear back from the business. This was not the case. We highly recommend T & J Hardscapes for installing patios!!

Patios questions, answered by experts
The cost to pour a driveway apron depends on the material and size. Concrete costs $3 to $10 per square foot, asphalt ranges from $2 to $5, and pavers are $5 to $15 per square foot. Additional expenses, like excavation, base material, and labor, can increase the total cost. For example, a standard 12x15-foot concrete apron could cost between $540 and $1,800, depending on local rates and additional work required. Always consult a local driveway paving contractor to get an accurate estimate tailored to your project.
The average ROI you’ll see from a deck or a concrete patio is 70%, so from a value-add perspective, they’re about the same. However, decks are around double the price of a concrete patio, they require significantly more maintenance, and they have a lifespan of 10 to 15 years, about half of what you’d see from a concrete patio. As such, a concrete patio is a better option in terms of up-front cost, long-term maintenance, and ROI.
The average cost to install a patio is around $4,000, but you could spend anywhere from $800 to $14,000 or more. Some cost factors you’ll need to consider for an accurate estimate include the following:
Square footage of the patio
Type of patio you want (concrete, pavers, or brick)
Soil quality on your property, which can dictate if drainage is necessary
Add-on products
Local permitting costs, if applicable
Accessibility of your yard
If you used regular jointing sand, you can typically walk on the repaired area right away. If you used polymeric sand, wait at least 24 hours before walking on it and 48 to 72 hours before driving over it, depending on the weather. Polymeric sand needs time to fully cure and lock the pavers in place.
When hiring a concrete contractor, you should seek someone with proven experience, proper licensing, and insurance. You should also check reviews online, talk to references, and view past project photos. Remember that reliable contractors communicate openly and have an expert understanding of local building codes. You’ll also want to ensure that the contractor specializes in the specific type of concrete work you want, whether a driveway or tinted concrete flooring.
