Our Proven Paving Installation Process

How We Install Pavers Right

First, we excavate to the proper depth and grade for drainage. This step is non-negotiable because without proper base preparation, even the best pavers will fail. We remove all organic material and create the right slope so water moves away from your foundation.

Next comes the base layer. We use crushed stone, compact it in lifts, and check for proper grade at every step. Then we lay the sand leveling layer and set each paver by hand, double-checking the alignment as we go.

Finally, we sweep polymeric sand into the joints and compact the entire surface. This step locks everything together and prevents weeds from growing between pavers. The result is a surface that stays level and looks professional for decades.

Properly installed pavers can last 25-30 years or more with minimal maintenance. The key is in the base preparation and drainage, which is where most installations fail. We excavate to the right depth, use proper base materials, and ensure water drains away from the paved area. With good base work, the pavers themselves are incredibly durable. You might need to occasionally replace a damaged paver or refresh the joint sand, but the overall installation should stay solid for decades. Compare that to concrete, which typically starts cracking within 5-10 years in our climate.
The difference is almost entirely in what you can’t see—the base preparation. Cheap installations skip steps like proper excavation depth, adequate base stone, or proper compaction. They might look fine initially, but within 1-2 years settling, shifting, or drainage problems are bound to occur. Quality installation means excavating to the right depth (usually 8-12 inches depending on the application), using proper base materials, compacting in lifts, and ensuring correct drainage slopes. It takes longer and costs more upfront, but it’s the difference between a patio that lasts 3 years and one that lasts 30 years.
Yes, pavers actually handle winter conditions better than concrete or asphalt when installed properly. Individual patio pavers can expand and contract with freeze-thaw cycles without cracking like concrete does. For snow removal, you can use standard snow blowers and plows, though we recommend setting plow blades slightly higher than you would on asphalt to avoid catching paver edges. If your installing a driveway, proper base preparation and using quality pavers rated for vehicular traffic are the keys to success. Salt and ice melt products won’t damage durably constructed pavers the way they can damage concrete surfaces.
Most paver patios in Weston range from $15-$30 per square foot installed, depending on the patio paver type, site conditions, and complexity of the design. A typical 400-square-foot patio costs $6,000-$12,000. The final price depends on things like how much excavation is needed, drainage solutions, your paver choice, and how easy it is to access the site. We give you a clear, detailed estimate so you know exactly where every dollar goes. Remember—paying a little more upfront for quality paving installation and proper base work means you won’t be stuck paying for repairs or replacements down the road.
Sometimes, yes—but it really depends on the condition of your existing concrete and how well it drains. If the concrete is level, solid, and drains properly, we can lay pavers over it with a sand leveling layer. But if it’s cracked, sinking, or has drainage issues, it’s smarter to remove it and build a proper base. Installing pavers over poor-quality concrete just passes those problems along to your new surface. We’ll check your current concrete and recommend what makes the most sense. Sometimes an overlay works well and saves money, but other times full excavation is the only way to guarantee long-lasting results.
Pavers are relatively low maintenance compared to other patio materials. Annual maintenance typically involves sweeping and occasional power washing to remove dirt and organic stains. Every 2-3 years, you might need to refresh the polymeric sand in the joints, especially in high-traffic areas. If individual pavers get damaged or stained, they can be removed and replaced without affecting the rest of the installation. Sealing is optional—it enhances color and provides some stain protection, but quality pavers don’t require sealing for durability. The main thing is keeping the surface clean and addressing any minor settling or sand loss promptly before it becomes a bigger issue.
