What is the price per sq foot compared to the pavers?

Consider also your costs for paver base & leveling sand in your $/sq.ft expense. Where I am, this required agrregate base material of >10" and 3" sand, several cubic yards for the 480 sq ft patio I installed. Also polymeric sand for joints..

Our project cost less than $2/sq ft after all materials which included concrete color. We did have a concrete mixer on hand so I'm not counting that in our expenses.

Each 2 x 2 ft mold will require one 80 lb bag of QUIKRETE Concrete Mix mixed with water to fill it. To calculate the approximate cost per square foot of concrete only, divide the local cost of an 80 lb bag of concrete by 4.
