One of the most inviting and usable extensions you can add to your home is an outdoor hardscaping area. If you have a patio built by a professional patio hardscaping contractor, you should be prepared to light the fire pit and smoker, have parties, and enjoy the outdoors. You’ll have family and neighbors coming out of the woodwork to enjoy a beer or steak on your new outdoor oasis. Our past patio clients know first hand that getting one can be a life changing experience.

Contractor Patio and Hardscaping Budgets

Online Pricing and Client Budget’s gone Wrong!

Some patio contractors give conflicting information, leading clients to seek other options that fit their budget. Typically, they may come across a price per square foot online and use reverse calculations to determine the desired size. While this method can work for basic patios or frugal customers who only need a simple paved area, it may not be suitable for those with a bigger budget and more yard space available. 

Unfortunately, many patio companies simply adhere to what their clients request, resulting in uninspired square-shaped patios. It’s disheartening to hear of people spending a considerable amount of money on a patio that lacks seating walls, lighting, planters, or fire pits. That’s why I prefer to know your budget and plans for the patio beforehand. As an experienced design-build contractor specializing in patio hardscaping, Tuck takes these factors into account to create an outdoor space that is both functional and enjoyable for your specific needs.
