A new patio typically costs $6 to $25 per square foot installed. A common 300 sq ft patio lands around $2,000 to $7,500, driven mostly by the material and the size. A simple concrete or gravel patio sits at the low end; pavers, brick, and natural stone move you up the range.

Frequently asked questions

How much does a patio cost?

Most new patios cost about $6–$25 per square foot installed, so a common 300 sq ft patio runs roughly $2,000–$7,500. Gravel and poured concrete are the cheapest options; pavers, brick, and natural stone cost more. Enter your material, size, and ZIP above for a local estimate.

What is the cheapest patio material?

Gravel is the cheapest patio surface, followed by poured concrete. Concrete pavers, brick, and natural stone cost more up front but are more durable and often add more resale value.

Are pavers or concrete cheaper for a patio?

Poured concrete is usually cheaper to install than pavers. Pavers cost more but resist cracking, are easy to repair (you replace individual units), and offer more design options, so many homeowners consider them worth the premium.

Does the estimate include labor and base prep?

Yes — these are installed prices covering material, base preparation, and labor. Significant excavation, drainage work, or removal of an old patio can add to the total.

What makes a patio cost more?

Premium materials (natural stone, brick), intricate patterns, curves and borders, extensive base or drainage work, sloped or hard-to-access yards, and removing an existing patio all raise the price.
