- What does outdoor living work cost around Knoxville?
-
This site's service pages put a professionally built paver patio at
roughly $15,000 to $25,000 for a professionally built paver patio. That figure comes from a read of local contractor pricing rather than a published index, which is why it carries no publisher, so it is worth
checking against indexes that do name themselves.
Lawn Love (updated 2025-12-27) publishes a national average of $3,350 for a 280 square foot patio, a typical range of $2,275 to $6,950, and $8 to $24 per square foot.
Homewyse (May 2026) publishes $20.03 to $25.95 per square foot to install a brick paver patio, before general contractor overhead of 13 to 22 percent, permits, inspection fees and sales tax.
Those two do not agree. Lawn Love starts at $8 per square foot where Homewyse starts at $20.03, and neither is a Knoxville figure. They also measure different things from the local range, a rate per square foot against a whole finished project, so the useful move is to compare a bid on its rate and its scope rather than on its bottom line alone.
- So what should I budget?
-
Not a single number, and no honest page can give you one. Size, grading, site access,
material and whether anything is roofed or plumbed move a hardscape bid more than
geography does. The
paver patio cost page and the
outdoor kitchen cost page
break the ranges down by scope, and the licensed contractor you are matched with is the
only one who can price your actual yard.
- How fast will someone get back to me?
- Calls and form submissions reach Compass Camper LLC directly. We read the request and pass it to a licensed local outdoor living contractor, usually within about an hour during the day. That contractor then contacts you to walk the yard and price the work on their own schedule.
- What work is covered?
-
Paver patios, outdoor kitchens, fire pits and fireplaces, pergolas and pavilions,
retaining walls, walkways and garden walls, driveways, and full outdoor living design.
See every service.
Compass Camper LLC does not build hardscapes and does not quote them. Only the licensed local
contractor you are matched with can price your project.
