We Know Massachusetts Weather

We’ve been handling paving projects in the Pinehurst area for years. We understand what works in New England and what doesn’t.

Massachusetts puts hardscaping through the test. Freeze-thaw cycles, heavy snow loads, and spring mud season destroy poorly installed work. We use proper base preparation and materials that handle these conditions.

You’re working with contractors who live here and deal with the same weather challenges you do. We stand behind our installations because we know they’re built right from the start.

Paver Installation Process

How We Install Pavers Right

First, we excavate to proper depth and grade for drainage. This foundation work determines whether your pavers last five years or fifty years. Most problems start with shortcuts during excavation.

Next comes base preparation with compacted gravel and sand leveling. We build the foundation that prevents settling and shifting. This step takes time but eliminates future headaches.

Then we install pavers with proper spacing and joint sand. Final compaction locks everything in place. We clean up completely and walk you through maintenance basics that keep your investment looking good.

Patio Pavers and Hardscaping

Complete Paving Solutions

We handle everything from small walkways to large patio installations. Brick paving, concrete pavers, and natural stone options all available depending on your needs and budget.

Design flexibility means your new hardscaping matches your home’s style. Traditional brick patterns for colonial homes, modern geometric layouts for contemporary properties, or natural stone for rustic settings.

Proper drainage integration prevents water problems. We grade and install drainage where needed so water moves away from your foundation instead of pooling on your new pavers.

How long do pavers last in Massachusetts weather?

Quality pavers installed correctly last 25-50 years in Massachusetts weather. The key is proper base preparation and using materials rated for freeze-thaw cycles. Concrete pavers handle winter conditions better than poured concrete because individual units can move slightly without cracking. Natural stone pavers like granite or bluestone last even longer but cost more upfront. Poor installation cuts lifespan dramatically regardless of material quality.

What's the difference between pavers and stamped concrete?

Pavers are individual units that can be replaced if damaged, while stamped concrete is one continuous slab that cracks as a whole. In Massachusetts, freeze-thaw cycles cause stamped concrete to crack within 5-10 years typically. Pavers flex individually and rarely crack. Repairs are simpler too – replace individual pavers instead of jackhammering and repouring entire sections. Pavers cost more initially but save money long-term through durability and easier maintenance.

How much does paver installation cost in Pinehurst?

Paver installation typically runs $15-25 per square foot for basic concrete pavers, $20-35 for premium materials like brick or natural stone. Project size, site conditions, and design complexity affect pricing. A 200 square foot patio averages $4,000-6,000 installed. Complex designs with curves, multiple levels, or challenging access cost more. We provide detailed estimates after seeing your specific site and discussing your goals.

Do I need permits for paver installation in Pinehurst?

Most paver patios and walkways don’t require permits in Pinehurst, but larger projects or those affecting drainage might. We handle permit applications when needed and ensure all work meets local building codes. Setback requirements from property lines sometimes apply, especially for larger installations. It’s better to check beforehand than deal with compliance issues later. We know local requirements and guide you through any necessary permitting process.

What maintenance do pavers require?

Pavers need minimal maintenance when installed properly. Annual cleaning with pressure washing keeps them looking good. Joint sand may need refreshing every few years in high-traffic areas. Sealing is optional but helps prevent staining and makes cleaning easier. Winter snow removal is safe with plastic shovels – avoid metal that can chip edges. Individual damaged pavers can be replaced easily without affecting surrounding areas. Overall maintenance is much less than maintaining concrete or asphalt surfaces.

Can pavers be installed over existing concrete?

Pavers can sometimes be installed over existing concrete if the base is level, stable, and properly draining. The existing concrete must be in good condition without major cracks or settling. We add a leveling layer and install pavers on top, raising the final height by 2-3 inches. However, removal and proper excavation usually provides better long-term results. We evaluate your existing concrete and recommend the best approach based on its condition and your budget.
