We are going to put in a paver patio and some of the quotes don't make sense and I can't find an explanation with Google and don't want to come off dumb with the bidders.
The quote per square foot is massively different for a pattern using two size/shapes and four size shapes. When I check prices for the same pavers there is very little difference per square foot and the total number of pavers is almost identical.
So the only difference I can figure is it takes longer to install per square foot and the only way that would matter if the same number of pavers per square foot was the same is the extra time it takes to figure out what paver to lay next?
Doesn't make sense that the installed price per square foot is 60% higher for the same number of pavers and the same square feet and the only difference is how many shapes of pavers are involved. Considering the prep work is identical, the actual cost to install 4 shapes is much more than 60% compared to two shapes.
What am I missing.
