DIY vs. Call a Pro
A paver patio is the most DIY-friendly option. Excavate 8-10 inches, install 6 inches of compacted gravel base, 1 inch of leveling sand, lay pavers in your pattern, cut edge pieces with a masonry saw, and fill joints with polymeric sand.
Call a professional when:
Hire a professional for natural stone (requires cutting and fitting skill), stamped concrete (specialized equipment), large patios with complex drainage, or when significant grading is needed.
