Paver Installation Process

How We Install Pavers Right

First, we evaluate your space and discuss design options that fit your needs and budget. No pressure, just clear information about what’s possible and what it costs.

Next comes proper excavation and base preparation. This is where most problems start with paver projects, so we take time to get the foundation right. Proper grading ensures water drains away from your home and pavers.

Then we install the pavers according to manufacturer specifications, including proper edge restraints and joint sand. The final step includes cleanup and a walkthrough to make sure everything meets your expectations.

How long do professionally installed pavers last in Massachusetts?

Properly installed pavers typically last 25-30 years or more in Massachusetts climate conditions. The key is correct base preparation and drainage design. Pavers themselves are extremely durable, but problems usually develop when the foundation isn’t prepared correctly for our freeze-thaw cycles. Quality installation includes proper excavation depth, compacted base material, and drainage planning that prevent water from pooling under the pavers during winter months.

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

Pavers offer significant advantages over stamped concrete, especially in Massachusetts. Individual pavers can be replaced if damaged, while concrete cracks require major repairs. Pavers handle freeze-thaw cycles better because joints allow for natural movement. Maintenance is simpler – you can power wash pavers and re-sand joints as needed. Stamped concrete often develops cracks within 5-10 years and requires sealing every few years. Pavers also provide better traction when wet and more design flexibility for repairs or modifications.

How much does paver installation cost compared to other options?

Paver installation costs more upfront than basic concrete but less than natural stone. However, the long-term value is usually better because pavers require less maintenance and last longer. Concrete often needs replacement or major repairs within 10-15 years, while quality pavers can last 25-30 years with minimal maintenance. The exact cost depends on paver type, area size, site conditions, and design complexity. We provide detailed estimates that break down material and labor costs so you understand exactly what you’re paying for.

Do pavers require special maintenance in New England weather?

Pavers require minimal maintenance when installed correctly. Annual tasks include cleaning and re-sanding joints as needed. Some homeowners choose to seal pavers every few years to enhance color and reduce staining, but it’s not required for durability. Snow removal is actually easier on pavers than concrete because you can use ice melt products without worrying about surface damage. The main thing is ensuring proper drainage during installation so water doesn’t pool and freeze under the pavers during winter months.

Can pavers be installed over existing concrete or asphalt?

In some cases, pavers can be installed over existing concrete if the surface is stable and properly graded for drainage. However, this approach has limitations and isn’t always the best long-term solution. The existing surface must be level, crack-free, and sloped correctly for water drainage. Often, complete removal and proper base preparation provide better results and longevity. We evaluate each situation individually and recommend the approach that gives you the best value and performance for your specific conditions.

How do I choose the right paver style and color?

Paver selection depends on your home’s architecture, existing landscaping, intended use, and personal preferences. We help you consider factors like color coordination with your home, size and pattern options for your space, and durability requirements for your specific application. It’s helpful to see samples in different lighting conditions and consider how colors might fade over time. We can show you examples of different paver types in similar settings and discuss pros and cons of various options based on your priorities and budget.
