What can I expect with hardscape projects?
Patio / Walkway / Driveway Installations. Once you determine the location and style of the feature you’d like, we will assess site conditions and base install method for the conditions and intended use. We adjust base and type of paver to accommodate usage needs (foot traffic vs vehicle weight). Then once the product arrives, we will begin construction. Pavers are backed by a manufacturer’s warranty. Certain brands like Techo Bloc and Unilock have levels of features and stain resistance and styles.
Some of the varieties of pavers include
- Permeable pavers (water percolates through, reducing runoff and increasing groundwater infiltration)
- ADA compliant pathways
- Lighted patio and walkways
Patio treatments and sealing can be completed after installation to enhance color, protect longevity, and mitigate efflorescence (salt moving through the blocks). We recommend efflorescence treatment to remove the white salt residue. Wet coat sealing is a popular finish and many customers love this look.
Retaining Walls. We offer retaining walls, which are also constructed with pavers. Retaining walls are ideal for addressing slopes, raised garden beds, or creating a more level yard area. Note that any retaining walls over 4′ have to be engineered which adds some cost to the project.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the benefit of pavers over concrete?
Pavers offer a more attractive aesthetic, enhanced durability, and easier repairs compared to concrete. While concrete may be a quicker and cheaper option, it lacks the longevity and load-bearing capacity of pavers, making it less ideal for high-traffic areas.Why are pavers more expensive than concrete?
The higher cost of pavers is attributed to the quality of materials, excavation, and installation processes. However, their elegant appearance and long lifespan provide significant value, making them a worthwhile investment.Do you offer concrete patios / walkways / driveways?
For any concrete work requested by our customers, we collaborate with trusted subcontractors to ensure quality results.Can pavers crack?
Yes, pavers can crack, but they are easily repaired by replacing the damaged pieces. This process is straightforward and typically covered by the manufacturer, making pavers a more manageable option than cracked concrete.Is it safe to walk on pavers in the winter?
,Most pavers have textural surfaces so they don’t get dangerously slippery in winter. Porcelain pavers would be the most likely to become slippery in wet weather.
Can I salt and shovel snow from pavers?
Most paver products can tolerate salting in winter and we try to avoid products that aren’t able to take salt. For snow removal we recommend using a plastic shovel on pavers to avoid scuffing and scraping out polymeric sand.
Are pavers weed, moss and bug proof?
Usually the base will prevent weeds from taking root. Polymeric sand in joints reduces weeds and bugs, but it is not always 100% effective if site conditions encourage them.
We can put down an anti-fungal treatment if moss is a concern. Pavers can also be cleaned easily with surface washing which will remove moss, algae and any other surface growth.
Do you provide flagstone or masonry services?
We do not work with flagstone or masonry; however, we do use prefabricated veneers (known as sticky stone) for scenarios like outdoor kitchens.
Do you repair existing paver patios / walkways / driveways?
We can do repairs depending on the situation, but it depends on how it is installed. If it is installed to ICPI specifications standards it is more likely we can make repairs.
Do you guarantee your work?
We offer a 1-year warranty on our workmanship and plant material, barring any neglect or force majeure scenarios. Our products also have a manufacturer’s warranty.
