Paver Installation Process

How We Install Pavers Right

First, we excavate to the proper depth—deeper than most contractors go because we account for Revere’s soil conditions. The base gets multiple layers of graded stone, each one compacted to specification. This foundation work determines everything that happens next.

Next comes sand leveling and edge restraints. These keep your pavers locked in place even when ground shifts with seasonal changes. We install each paver by hand, checking levels constantly and making adjustments as we go.

Finally, we sweep polymeric sand into joints and compact the entire surface. This locks everything together into one solid surface that moves as a unit instead of individual pieces. The result looks great immediately and stays that way.

Patio Pavers and Walkways

Complete Paver Services for Your Property

We handle everything from small walkway repairs to complete patio installations. Driveways, pool decks, garden paths, front entrances—if it needs pavers, we can build it properly.

You get material options that make sense for Revere’s conditions. Concrete pavers for durability and value, natural stone for premium appearance, permeable options for drainage requirements. We’ll explain what works best for your specific situation and budget.

Every project includes proper drainage planning. Water has to go somewhere, and we make sure it goes where it should instead of pooling on your pavers or washing out the base. This attention to water management is what separates installations that last from ones that fail.

Properly installed pavers easily last 25-30 years in coastal New England conditions, often longer. The key is correct base preparation and using materials rated for freeze-thaw cycles. Concrete pavers handle salt air and temperature changes better than poured concrete, which tends to crack within 5-10 years. Individual pavers can be replaced if damaged, but with quality installation, you’re looking at decades of maintenance-free use. We’ve seen pavers we installed 15+ years ago that still look and perform like new.
The difference is mostly in what you can’t see—base preparation and drainage. Cheap installations skip proper excavation depth, use inadequate base materials, or don’t compact properly between layers. This leads to settling, shifting, and weed growth within 2-3 years. Quality installation means excavating 8-12 inches deep, using multiple layers of properly graded stone base, installing edge restraints, and ensuring proper drainage. The pavers themselves might look similar initially, but only proper installation stays level and weed-free long-term.
Yes, pavers are specifically designed for freeze-thaw conditions and perform much better than poured concrete. Individual pavers can expand and contract slightly without cracking, while the sand joints allow for minor movement. Proper base preparation is crucial—we excavate below the frost line and use base materials that drain well, preventing ice formation that causes heaving. The polymeric sand we use in joints also flexes with temperature changes. This is why you see 20+ year old paver installations that still look great, while concrete patios crack within a few winters.
Paver installation typically costs $15-25 per square foot for standard concrete pavers, with natural stone running higher. The wide range depends on site conditions, paver choice, and pattern complexity. A typical 300 square foot patio runs $4,500-7,500 installed. This includes excavation, base preparation, pavers, sand, and labor. While the upfront cost is higher than concrete, pavers add more property value and last much longer without maintenance. We provide detailed written estimates that break down all costs so you know exactly what you’re getting.
Most paver patios and walkways don’t require permits in Revere, but driveways and larger installations might. We handle permit research and applications when needed—it’s part of doing the job right. The city sometimes requires permits for drainage changes or if the project affects setbacks from property lines. We know local requirements and will tell you upfront if permits are needed for your specific project. Getting proper permits protects you if you ever sell the house and ensures the work meets local codes.
Pavers need very little maintenance when installed correctly. Annual power washing keeps them looking fresh, and you might need to add polymeric sand to joints every 3-5 years as it naturally wears away. Sealing is optional but helps maintain color and makes cleaning easier—we recommend sealing every 5-7 years for high-traffic areas. If individual pavers get damaged or stained beyond cleaning, they can be replaced without affecting surrounding pavers. Compare this to concrete patios that need regular sealing, crack repair, and eventual replacement. Properly installed pavers basically maintain themselves.
