Premium Material Upgrades
- Travertine: Add 40-60% to base price
- Porcelain pavers: Add 30-50%
- Natural stone: Add 50-80%
- Premium patterns (herringbone, complex): Add 15-25%
💡 Pro Tip
The base is more important than the paver. A cheap paver on a great base will outlast a premium paver on a poor base. Never skip proper preparation.
