These rates apply to wood mulch and wood chips, and a prepared area means no additional work is needed before installation. When we handle the preparation, landscape fabric/netting is included as part of the service to help prevent weeds and improve long-term results.

Professional paver installation pricing can vary widely depending on the paver material, color, pattern, and design complexity chosen by the customer. For projects installed over a prepared area, pricing typically ranges from $8–$14 per square foot. Areas requiring minimal preparation generally fall between $15–$21 per sq ft, while unprepared areas that require excavation, base building, and full site prep typically start at $22+ per sq ft.
