Common questions
How much does a paver patio cost in Boston?
A paver or brick patio in Greater Boston runs about $35–$42 per square foot installed — roughly $5,500 for a standard 12×12 (144 sq ft). That includes a deep, compacted base, proper drainage, the pavers set and poly-sanded, and cleanup.
How much does a bluestone patio cost?
Natural bluestone runs about $46–$54 per square foot installed in the Boston area, around $7,200 for a 12×12. Bluestone is set on a proper base with drainage so it holds up to New England freeze-thaw winters.
How much does synthetic turf cost in Boston?
A synthetic turf lawn runs about $17–$23 per square foot installed. That includes the sub-base, gravel, drainage, turf, infill, and edging — pinned and brushed in. Turf is popular with dog owners and for shady yards where grass won't grow.
What changes the final price?
Access to the yard, the existing grade, drainage needs, demolition of an old patio or lawn, and the materials you choose all move the number. A tight city lot with no truck access costs more per square foot than an open yard because materials move by hand.
Do you give free estimates?
Yes. Every project starts with a free on-site consultation and a detailed written estimate — no vague numbers. Call or text Allan at (781) 859-5304 to set up a visit.
Is there a minimum project size?
Most projects start around $2,500. Smaller jobs are welcome but run higher per square foot because setup, base work, and cleanup are similar regardless of size.
