We Know Bedford Properties

Academy Masonry has been installing pavers throughout Bedford and the surrounding areas for years. We understand how New England weather affects outdoor surfaces and what it takes to build something that lasts.

We’re not the guys who show up, throw down some pavers, and disappear. We handle the details that matter – proper base preparation, correct drainage, and installation techniques that prevent the settling and shifting that plague poorly done paver jobs.

You’ll work with contractors who show up when we say we will, communicate clearly about timelines, and stand behind our work with real warranties.

Installation Done Right From Start

We start with proper excavation and base preparation – the foundation work that determines whether your pavers will stay level for decades or start shifting within a few years. This means removing the right amount of soil and installing the correct base materials for your specific soil conditions.

Next comes precise grading and drainage planning. Water has to go somewhere, and we make sure it goes away from your home and doesn’t pool on your new surface. This step prevents the water damage that destroys inferior paver installations.

Finally, we install your chosen pavers with proper spacing, joint sand, and edge restraints. Every paver gets set correctly, and we don’t rush through the finishing details that make the difference between a professional job and one that looks homemade.

Properly installed pavers can last 25-50 years or more in Bedford’s climate. The key is correct installation – adequate base preparation, proper drainage, and quality materials. Pavers actually handle freeze-thaw cycles better than concrete because individual units can move slightly without cracking. When one paver does get damaged, you can replace just that piece rather than redoing entire sections like you would with concrete.
Quality installation starts with proper excavation depth and base materials. Cheap jobs skimp on base preparation, use inadequate drainage, and rush through installation details. This leads to settling, shifting, and water problems within a few years. Quality work costs more upfront but saves money long-term because you’re not dealing with repairs and reinstallation. The materials matter too – better pavers resist fading, cracking, and wear better than bargain options.
Paver installation typically ranges from $15-30 per square foot depending on materials, site conditions, and project complexity. Simple rectangular patios cost less than curved designs with multiple elevations. Natural stone costs more than concrete pavers. Site access, soil conditions, and drainage requirements also affect pricing. We provide detailed estimates that break down materials and labor so you understand exactly what you’re paying for.
Sometimes, but it depends on the condition of the existing concrete and drainage considerations. If the concrete is level, structurally sound, and has proper drainage, pavers can be installed over it with the right preparation. However, if the concrete is cracked, settling, or has drainage issues, it’s usually better to remove it and start fresh. Installing over problem concrete just transfers those problems to your new paver surface.
Spring through fall offers the best conditions for paver installation in Bedford. We typically schedule projects from April through November, avoiding the frozen ground and unpredictable weather of winter months. Spring and fall often provide ideal working conditions with moderate temperatures and lower humidity. Summer works well too, though hot weather can be challenging for both workers and materials. Planning ahead helps secure better scheduling and pricing.
Most residential paver patios and walkways don’t require permits in Bedford, but larger projects or those affecting drainage might need approval. Driveways and projects near property lines sometimes require permits. We’re familiar with Bedford’s requirements and can handle permit applications when needed. It’s always better to check beforehand rather than deal with compliance issues later. We’ll let you know during the estimate process if permits are required for your specific project.
