What's Included in Every Project

Every paver installation includes proper site preparation, quality base materials, and professional installation techniques. We handle excavation, grading, base preparation, paver installation, joint sanding, and final cleanup.

You get detailed project planning that addresses drainage, any necessary permits, and material selection based on your specific site conditions. We work with various paver styles including brick, concrete, and natural stone options that complement Woburn-area home styles.

Our installations include proper edge restraints, compacted base materials, and attention to even the smallest details, like consistent joint spacing and proper slopes for drainage. The result is professional-grade hardscaping that performs well and looks great for years.

How long do professionally installed pavers typically last?

Quality pavers installed with proper base preparation typically last 25-30 years or more with minimal maintenance. The key to lasting results? Proper installation. Excavation, base materials, compaction, and drainage are all vital. Pavers themselves are extremely durable, but poor installation leads to settling, shifting, and premature failure. Individual pavers can be replaced if damaged, unlike concrete which requires complete sections to be redone. With proper installation and occasional joint sand replenishment, paver patios and walkways provide decades of reliable service.

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

Concrete pavers offer more design flexibility with various colors, shapes, and textures available. They’re manufactured to consistent specifications and often cost less than clay brick. Brick pavers provide a classic, traditional appearance that many homeowners prefer, especially for older homes common in Woburn. Clay brick tends to be more porous and may require sealing in freeze-thaw climates. Both materials perform well when properly installed, so the choice often comes down to aesthetic preference, budget, and the architectural style of your home.

How do you prevent pavers from shifting or settling over time?

Proper base preparation is critical for preventing settling and shifting. We excavate to the appropriate depth, install geotextile fabric when needed, and use properly graded base materials compacted in lifts. Edge restraints keep pavers from spreading apart under traffic, and the correct joint sand installation and compaction lock pavers together. Many paver failures happen because of inadequate base preparation or nixing edge restraints to save money. We follow industry standards for base depth and materials because cutting corners here leads to problems later that cost more to fix than doing it right initially.

What type of maintenance do pavers require after installation?

Paver maintenance is minimal compared to other hardscaping materials. Occasional sweeping keeps debris from accumulating in joints. Joint sand may need to be replenished every few years, especially after heavy rains or snow removal. Sealing is optional but can enhance color and provide stain protection. If you do opt to seal, it’s typically needed every 3-5 years. Weed growth between pavers can be controlled with polymeric sand or periodic treatment. Damaged pavers can be replaced without impacting the surrounding areas. Overall, properly installed pavers require less maintenance than concrete, asphalt, or most other patio materials.

How much does professional paver installation typically cost?

Paver installation costs vary and depend on several factors, such as material choice, site conditions, project size, and complexity. Simple patio installations typically start around $15-$20 per square foot for basic concrete pavers, while premium materials and complex designs usually cost more. Other factors affecting price include excavation requirements, drainage needs, access to the work area, and material selection. We provide detailed written estimates that break down costs so you know exactly what you’re paying for. While pavers cost more upfront than some alternatives, their longevity and low maintenance requirements often make them more cost-effective in the long term.

Do I need permits for paver patio or walkway installation?

Most residential paver patios and walkways in Woburn don’t require permits, but regulations can vary based on project size, location, and proximity to property lines or utilities. Larger projects or those affecting drainage patterns may need permits. We’re familiar with local requirements and can advise whether permits are needed for your specific project. If permits are required, we can help with the application process. It’s always better to check beforehand rather than deal with compliance issues later. We handle permit research and applications when needed as part of our project planning process.
