Paver Patio Installation
A proper paver patio — excavated, base-compacted, laid tight, and edge-restrained so it stays flat for decades, not one season.
$2,500–$8,000 · Outdoor Living
Retaining Walls
Engineered block or natural-stone retaining walls that hold grade and create usable terraces — built with proper drainage behind.
$3,000–$12,000 · Hold the Grade
Walkways & Paths
Paver and stone walkways with tight even joints from drive to door — the welcoming first impression that also ends the muddy shortcut.
$2,500–$6,000 · First Impression
Patio + Fire Pit
A paver patio built around a stone fire pit and seating — the backyard gathering spot, done as one coordinated hardscape.
$4,000–$10,000 · Gather Round
Stone Steps & Grade
Natural-stone or block steps set into slopes for safe, attractive grade changes — solid footing that won’t shift.
$2,500–$7,000 · Safe Footing
Gravel & Border Work
Pea-gravel patios, paths, and crisp paver borders — the budget-friendly hardscape that still looks intentional and clean.
$2,500–$6,000 · Budget-SmartHardscaping is the biggest deposit-fraud target in home services — crews that vanish with a big upfront check. AllBetter escrow makes that impossible: your money releases as the patio or wall is actually built, not before.
Photo the Space. Get Itemized Bids. Walk It. Approve.
From a weekly mow to a $20K backyard makeover — here's how AllBetter replaces the deposit-and-pray model.
Show Us the Yard
Photo the lawn, beds, trees, fence line, paver area. Note lot size, frequency (one-time vs recurring), and special needs (gate access, dog in yard, sprinkler heads to avoid). Takes 60 seconds. No credit card. No deposit. No annual contract commitment.
Compare Real Bids
identity-verified landscapers send fixed per-job bids — total cost locked before anyone touches the yard. Compare price, reviews, and identity status side by side, then ask about equipment and timing in the chat.
Walk the Yard. Tap Approve.
Your money sits in escrow while the crew works. Walk the yard and tap Approve — only then does the crew get paid. No annual contracts. Posting and comparing is free; a small service fee applies at booking.
Don't Hand a Stranger $5,000 Upfront.
Deposit-takers vanish, cash-only crews ghost, and the big chains lock you into 12-month contracts. Three things kill all of that:
ID-Verified to Bid
Government ID confirmed by identity before any pro sees your address. No anonymous lawn crews in your backyard with the gate open.
Every pro · no exceptionsEscrow-Protected Payment
Your money sits in escrow while the work happens. The pro is paid when you approve the finished job — not before.

Get My 3 Bids →AllBetter vs. TruGreen vs. Lawn Love vs. Thumbtack
TruGreen and the national chains lock you into 12-month contracts with auto-renewal and cancellation friction. Lawn Love assigns whoever's closest — no choice in pro. Angi/Thumbtack charge landscapers $15–$50 per lead — that cost gets baked into your quote. Cash-only "guy with a truck" wants a $2,000 deposit and good luck if he ghosts.
