Paver Installation Process

How We Install Pavers Right

Every project starts with proper site preparation. We excavate to the correct depth, install appropriate base materials, and ensure proper drainage – the foundation work that determines whether your pavers will last decades or start failing in a few years.

Next comes precise grading and compaction. This step prevents settling and ensures water flows away from your home and other structures. We use professional equipment to achieve the compaction levels that manufacturer warranties require.

Finally, we install your chosen pavers with proper joint spacing and edge restraints. The finishing touches include joint sand application and final compaction. You get a complete installation that’s ready to handle whatever New England weather brings.

How long do professionally installed pavers typically last?

Quality pavers installed with proper base preparation typically last 25-30 years or more. The key is correct installation – adequate excavation, proper base materials, and appropriate compaction. Pavers themselves are extremely durable, but they’re only as good as the foundation beneath them. When installed correctly, pavers actually perform better than poured concrete in New England’s freeze-thaw cycles because individual units can move slightly without cracking, while the overall surface remains stable and level.

What's the difference between cheap and quality paver installation?

The difference is in the base preparation and installation process. Cheap installations often skip proper excavation depth, use inadequate base materials, or don’t achieve proper compaction levels. This leads to settling, shifting, and premature failure. Quality installation includes excavating to manufacturer specifications, installing engineered base materials in proper lifts, achieving required compaction levels, and using appropriate edge restraints. The pavers you see on the surface are actually the smallest part of a proper installation – most of the work and cost is in the foundation that you don’t see.

How do pavers handle New England winters and freeze-thaw cycles?

Pavers actually handle freeze-thaw cycles better than solid concrete surfaces when properly installed. Individual pavers can accommodate slight movement without cracking, while concrete slabs often crack when water freezes and expands. The key is proper drainage and base preparation. We install pavers with appropriate slope for water runoff and use base materials that drain well, preventing water from pooling and freezing underneath. The joints between pavers also allow for thermal expansion and contraction without creating stress cracks.

Can pavers be installed over existing concrete patios or walkways?

In some cases, yes, but it depends on the condition of the existing concrete and proper height considerations. The existing concrete must be structurally sound, properly sloped for drainage, and stable. We need to account for the additional height that pavers and base materials will add, ensuring proper drainage away from your home and appropriate transitions to other surfaces. However, many existing concrete surfaces have drainage or structural issues that make overlay installation inadvisable. A site evaluation determines whether overlay installation is appropriate for your specific situation.

What maintenance do pavers require after installation?

Properly installed pavers require minimal maintenance. Annual tasks include cleaning with water or mild detergent, removing weeds from joints if they appear, and occasionally adding joint sand if it washes out over time. Every few years, you might want to apply a sealer to enhance color and provide additional stain protection, though this is optional. If individual pavers become damaged, they can be replaced without affecting surrounding areas – a major advantage over concrete slabs. The most important maintenance is keeping drainage areas clear so water continues to flow away from the paved surface.

How much does professional paver installation typically cost?

Paver installation costs vary based on project size, material choice, site conditions, and complexity of the design. Simple patio installations typically range from $15-25 per square foot, while more complex projects with premium materials or challenging site conditions cost more. The investment includes excavation, base materials, pavers, installation labor, and finishing work. While pavers cost more upfront than basic concrete, they often provide better long-term value through durability, repairability, and aesthetic appeal. We provide detailed written estimates that break down all costs so you understand exactly what you’re getting for your investment.
