Hardscaping FAQs

Common questions about our hardscape projects.

How much does a paver patio cost in San Jose?

Paver patio projects in San Jose typically range from $25–$50 per square foot installed, depending on the paver type, pattern complexity, and site preparation needed. A standard 300 sq ft patio runs $7,500–$15,000. We provide detailed line-item quotes after a free site visit.

Do I need a permit for hardscaping in San Jose?

Most patio and walkway projects don't require a permit, but retaining walls over 4 feet, structures near property lines, and projects involving electrical or gas lines typically do. We handle all permitting as part of our service — you don't need to visit city hall.

How long does a hardscaping project take?

A standard paver patio takes 3–5 days. Retaining walls run 5–10 days depending on length and height. Full outdoor living spaces (patio + kitchen + fire pit) can take 2–4 weeks. We provide a timeline in your quote and stick to it.

What's the difference between pavers and stamped concrete?

Pavers are individual interlocking pieces that flex with ground movement — critical in the South Bay's expansive clay soil. Stamped concrete is a single slab that can crack and is expensive to repair. Pavers cost slightly more upfront but last longer, look better, and individual pieces can be replaced if damaged.

Are you licensed for hardscaping work?

Yes. Get Pro Landscaping holds a C-27 Landscaping Contractor license (#1033857) with the California Contractors State License Board, which covers hardscaping, irrigation, and all landscape construction. We are fully insured.
