How long do pavers last in Burlington's climate?

Quality pavers installed with proper base preparation typically last 25-30 years or more in New England conditions. The key is using freeze-thaw resistant materials and ensuring adequate drainage underneath. Concrete pavers and natural stone handle Burlington’s weather cycles well when installed correctly. Regular joint sand maintenance every few years keeps the surface stable, but the pavers themselves rarely need replacement if installed properly from the start.

What's the difference between pavers and stamped concrete for patios?

Pavers offer individual replacement if damaged, while stamped concrete cracks as one large slab. In Burlington’s freeze-thaw conditions, this flexibility matters significantly. Pavers also provide better drainage through joints and can be removed for utility access without destroying the entire surface. Stamped concrete costs less upfront but often requires complete replacement when problems develop, making pavers more cost-effective long-term for most homeowners.

How much does paver installation cost in Burlington?

Paver installation typically ranges from $12-25 per square foot depending on materials, site conditions, and design complexity. Basic concrete pavers cost less than natural stone options. Factors affecting price include excavation requirements, drainage needs, and access to your property. Most Burlington patio projects range from $8,000-20,000 for typical sizes. We provide detailed estimates after evaluating your specific site conditions and material preferences.

Do I need permits for paver installation in Burlington?

Most paver patios and walkways don’t require permits in Burlington, but driveway work and projects affecting drainage may need approval. We’re familiar with local requirements and handle permit applications when necessary. Projects near property lines, involving significant grading, or connecting to municipal drainage systems typically need permits. We’ll let you know during the planning phase if permits are required for your specific project.

How do you handle drainage with paver installation?

Proper drainage starts with correct grading during excavation, sloping surfaces away from your foundation at appropriate angles. We install permeable base materials that allow water to drain through rather than pooling on top. Joint spacing between pavers provides additional drainage paths. For areas with drainage challenges, we can incorporate catch basins or channel drains into the design to direct water safely away from your home and outdoor spaces.

What maintenance do pavers require after installation?

Pavers need minimal maintenance compared to other paving options. Annual cleaning with a pressure washer removes dirt and organic buildup. Joint sand may need refreshing every 2-3 years, especially after harsh winters. Sealing is optional but can enhance color and provide stain protection for high-use areas. Individual pavers can be lifted and reset if settling occurs, though this is rare with proper installation. Most homeowners find paver maintenance much easier than maintaining concrete or asphalt surfaces.
