Our Patio Paver Installation Process

Here's How We Handle Your Project

First, we evaluate your site and discuss your vision. We measure the area, check drainage, and identify any potential challenges before providing a detailed estimate.

Next comes excavation and base preparation. This is where most problems start if isn’t done right. We excavate to the proper depth, install the right base materials, and ensure proper compaction and grading for drainage.

Then we install your pavers according to the design, making sure everything is level and properly spaced. We finish with edge restraints and joint sand to lock everything in place. The result is a paver installation that looks professional and performs for decades.

How long do professionally installed pavers last in Massachusetts?

Properly installed pavers can last 25-30 years or more in Massachusetts. The key is correct base preparation and using quality materials designed for freeze-thaw cycles. Pavers actually handle our weather better than poured concrete because individual units can move slightly without cracking. If a paver does get damaged, you can replace just that piece rather than redoing the entire surface. Longevity really comes down to the installation quality; proper excavation depth, correct base materials, and adequate compaction make all the difference.

What's the difference between brick pavers and concrete pavers?

Brick pavers are made from fired clay and offer a classic, traditional look that many West Concord homeowners prefer. They’re extremely durable and the color goes all the way through, so they age well. Concrete pavers offer more design options, colors, and shapes, plus they’re typically less expensive. Both work well in our climate when properly installed. The choice often comes down to your design preferences and budget. Concrete pavers can mimic natural stone or brick, while clay brick pavers give you that authentic, timeless appearance that complements colonial and traditional architecture common in this area.

How do you handle drainage with paver installations?

Proper drainage starts with correct grading during excavation. We slope the base away from your house and toward appropriate drainage areas. The paver joints also allow water to filter through rather than pooling on the surface, which is what happens with concrete. In areas with heavy clay soil, we sometimes install additional drainage measures like French drains or adjust the base materials. Every site is different, which is why we evaluate drainage during the planning phase. Poor drainage is one of the main causes of paver failure, so we take this seriously from the start rather than trying to fix problems later.

Can pavers be installed over existing concrete patios?

Sometimes, but it depends on the condition of the existing concrete and proper height considerations. The concrete needs to be structurally sound, properly sloped for drainage, and not cracked or settling. Adding pavers increases the height by about 2-3 inches, which can create issues with door thresholds or drainage. Often it’s better to remove the old concrete and start fresh – this gives you better long-term results and more design flexibility. We evaluate each situation individually because doing it right is more important than taking shortcuts that cause problems down the road.

What maintenance do pavers require after installation?

Pavers are relatively low-maintenance compared to other surfaces. You’ll need to reapply joint sand occasionally as it settles or washes out, usually every few years. Some homeowners choose to seal their pavers to enhance color and reduce staining, but it’s not required for durability. Regular sweeping and occasional power washing keep them looking good. If individual pavers get stained or damaged, you can replace just those pieces. The main thing is keeping the edges intact – don’t let grass or roots push against the border pavers, as this can cause shifting over time.

How much does paver installation cost in West Concord?

Paver installation costs vary based on the size of your project, paver type, site conditions, and design complexity. Simple rectangular patios cost less than curved designs with multiple paver types. Site preparation requirements also affect pricing – areas needing extra excavation or drainage work cost more. We provide detailed written estimates that break down materials and labor so you know exactly what you’re paying for. While pavers cost more upfront than concrete, they typically offer better long-term value through durability and the ability to make repairs without replacing the entire surface. Quality installation is an investment that pays off over decades of use.
