Paving Installation Process Cherry Brook

Installation Done Right From Start

First, we assess your space, soil conditions, and drainage needs. This isn’t a quick glance – proper foundation preparation determines whether your pavers stay level for decades or start shifting within a few years.

Next comes excavation and base preparation. We remove existing materials, grade for proper drainage, and install the aggregate base that keeps everything stable. Most problems with paver installations trace back to shortcuts taken during this phase.

Finally, we install your pavers with proper edge restraints and joint sand. Every piece gets set level and secure. We clean up completely and walk you through maintenance basics that keep your installation looking sharp.

Properly installed pavers typically last 20-30 years in Massachusetts, often longer with basic maintenance. The key is correct base preparation and using pavers rated for freeze-thaw cycles. Cheap installations that skip foundation steps start showing problems within 2-3 years, but quality work handles our weather without issues. Regular joint sand maintenance and occasional cleaning keep pavers looking good and performing well throughout their lifespan.
Pavers handle freeze-thaw cycles better than stamped concrete and can be individually replaced if damaged. Concrete cracks and requires full replacement when problems develop. Pavers also provide better drainage and slip resistance. The trade-off is higher upfront cost, but pavers typically require less maintenance and last longer in New England conditions. If you’re planning to stay in your home long-term, pavers usually provide better value.
Proper drainage starts with correct grading during excavation. We slope surfaces away from foundations and toward appropriate drainage areas. The aggregate base gets compacted in lifts to prevent settling while maintaining drainage capability. Pavers themselves allow water to drain through joints, unlike solid concrete surfaces. We also install edge restraints that won’t shift over time and compromise drainage patterns. Every installation gets tested before completion.
Basic maintenance includes occasional sweeping and adding joint sand every few years as it settles or washes out. Most homeowners handle this themselves. Annual cleaning with appropriate cleaners keeps pavers looking fresh. Sealing is optional but can enhance color and provide stain protection. Properly installed pavers rarely require major repairs, though individual pieces can be replaced if damaged. We provide specific maintenance guidelines based on your paver type and installation.
Paver installation costs more upfront than basic concrete but less than natural stone. Pricing depends on paver type, site conditions, and project complexity. However, pavers often provide better long-term value because they last longer and require fewer repairs than concrete alternatives. We provide detailed estimates that break down material and labor costs so you understand exactly what you’re getting. Most homeowners find the durability and appearance worth the investment.
Paver installation works best during warmer months when ground conditions are stable. We typically install from late spring through fall, depending on weather and ground frost conditions. Winter installations are possible but may require additional steps and cost more due to ground preparation challenges. Planning your project for spring or summer installation usually provides the best results and most efficient timeline. We recommend scheduling consultations in winter for spring installation.
