How Much Does a Paver Walkway Cost in Savannah?

You know where you want the walkway to be. Maybe it will go from the driveway to the front door, from the patio out to the gate, or down the side of the house where the grass never grows well. But you aren’t sure what it will cost, the prices online are all different, and you have no way to tell which ones cover the work and which ones only cover the pavers.

My name is Randy Thompson. I’m the founder of All Out Hardscapes & Lighting Solutions, a veteran-owned company, and I’m a certified Techo-Pro installer. Over the last 10 years, we’ve built more than 150 patios, walkways, and outdoor living spaces across Savannah and the Lowcountry, with a lot of that work done on Wilmington Island and in Savannah Quarters. We price every walkway the same way, and we publish that price.

I like to be upfront about money. So here’s what our price per square foot is, what that price covers, and what will make a walkway go up or down in that price range. You will be able to figure out the price on your own walkway with just a tape measure before anybody from our company comes to your property.

How Am I Charged for a Paver Walkway in Savannah?

By the finished square foot, the same way we would charge to put in a patio or a driveway. Most installers in our area price hardscaping per square foot too, but they don’t all use the same number for each one. Ours is turnkey: labor and materials at one single price, based on square footage, for us to come out and build the whole walkway.

That cost will cover a lot more than the pavers you see. Our base is 4 inches of clean #57 stone, which is crushed stone about 1/2 to 1 inch across with the fine dust washed out, and on top of that is a 2-inch bedding layer of clean #789 stone, a smaller washed chip stone the pavers sit on. That stone bedding does away with the need for the sand bedding layer entirely. Clean stone will let the water go straight through, in contrast to a sand bedding layer that holds water and can wash out from under the pavers in a heavy Savannah rain.

The price also pays for the sand that’s swept into the joints between pavers and the edge restraint, the border along each side that keeps the pavers from slowly separating. And the layout is part of the job as well. We think far enough ahead that on one Savannah walkway we set the walkway slightly offset from the gate posts, because the gate has hinges on that side. That way, when the gate swings open you stay on pavers instead of stepping onto the lawn.

What Makes My Walkway Cost More or Less?

Four things will determine the cost of your walkway, and each of them comes down to time and material per square foot:

• Total square footage is the biggest factor. Larger projects have a lower cost per square foot because setup and mobilization, the work of getting the crew, machines, and stone to your property, is figured for more square feet. A short walkway will have the same setup with fewer feet, so its cost per square foot will be higher than a larger patio’s.
• Shape and edges add labor. Curves, multi-level steps, inlaid patterns (a design set into the field of pavers), and custom borders all take more time and skill, and the price will show that.
• Paver choice sets the material cost. For a walkway or pathway, Villagio, a Techo-Bloc paver, can be used for any design and any radius without cutting it. If budget is the deciding factor, we suggest you use Eva, the Techo-Bloc line we recommend for those with tight budgets.
• Site prep comes before the first paver. Removing an existing concrete walk, grading (shaping the ground so water will go where it should), compacting the soil, and excavating (digging out enough soil to fit the base) will all add to the cost of the labor before we put in a single paver.

Shape is more important on a walkway than anywhere else because a walkway is mostly made up of edges. It’s long and narrow, so it’s got much more border per square foot than a patio, and the border is where the cuts and the edge restraint have to go. With a standard rectangular paver, a curve means you have to cut pavers along both edges, one at a time, with a saw, and every cut is extra work and wasted material. A paver that will go along a radius without a cut gives you the curve you want without that saw work, which is why Villagio fits walkways so well.

What Will My Walkway Cost at $25 to $35 a Square Foot?

Our published price is $25 to $35 per square foot for concrete pavers, labor and materials included, as of September 2026. Permeable pavers, which are put in with open joints filled with stone so that water drains down through the walkway instead of running off it, are also in that same $25 to $35 range. To figure out what your cost will be, multiply the length of your walkway by its width to get square feet, then multiply that by 25 and by 35. Where you’ll be inside that bracket will depend on the four factors above.

Those costs are the rate multiplied by the square footage, before anyone has seen your yard. When we do a visit to your site, that will determine the actual cost, because at that time we see the grade, the old concrete, and the shape you want. Our smaller jobs take about a day, a day and a half tops.

Why Am I Seeing Walkway Prices That Look Much Lower?

Some prices only cover the paver. We could advertise $6 to $18 a square foot too, but that’s only for the pavers, and it wouldn’t include the gravel or the sand, and those two alone add about $8 a square foot.

So do the math: $6 to $18 for the paver plus about $8 for the stone and sand puts you at $14 to $26 a square foot before a single hour of labor, excavation, or edge work. That’s why we won’t advertise a cost for just the materials. If you’re looking at two different walkway quotes, ask each installer one question: does this price include the stone base, the joint sand, and the labor to build it? If they both say yes, then you’re comparing finished walkways. But if one of them says no, it means their quote is just for a pallet of pavers.

The full price will give you a walkway you don’t have to think about again. That’s how we measure every job: if we don’t have to go back to the house, then we did our job right.

When a Paver Walkway Isn’t the Right Spend

If your budget can only cover the pavers alone, then a turnkey walkway is going to look expensive compared to it. We’ll be honest with you: we’re not the cheapest company, and we’d rather tell you that on the phone than after we’ve measured your yard.

If you have to have a walkway and your budget is tight, a straight path using Eva keeps the paver cost down and will eliminate the labor needed for a curve. It’s still a turnkey job, base and all.
