For a 300 s.f. space, a deck would start at around $9,000, while a patio would start at around $4,500.Our Call: The patio is the better option.s a ballpark 300 s.f. space, a deck and five steps would start at around $10,000. A ground level patio with stoop would start around $6,500, and a raised patio that is 2.5 ft off the ground with a boulder wall and five steps to the yard would start around $10,000. Our Call: Cost is still not really a factor.
