Your Property Value Just Went Up

You’re tired of looking at that cracked concrete driveway every time you pull in. Or maybe that back patio idea has been on your mind for months, but you’re not sure where to start.

Here’s what changes when pavers are installed correctly. Your driveway stops being an embarrassment and starts being something neighbors actually compliment. Water drains properly instead of pooling up and creating ice patches that make you nervous every winter morning.

Your outdoor space becomes somewhere you actually want to spend time. No more avoiding the backyard because it’s just not inviting. And when it comes time to sell, you’re not making excuses about the condition of your hardscaping—you’re watching it add real value to your asking price.

We’ve been handling paver projects throughout Delaware County for years. We understand how Lower Chichester’s soil behaves, what happens during those brutal freeze-thaw cycles, and how to prep your base so your pavers stay level.

You won’t find us cutting corners on excavation depth or using the wrong base materials. We’ve seen too many paver jobs fail because someone skipped steps or didn’t understand local conditions.

Paver Installation Process

No Surprises, No Shortcuts

First, we’ll walk your property and talk through what you’re looking for. We measure everything, discuss material options, and give you a clear timeline and price. No vague estimates or surprise charges later.

Next comes excavation and base preparation. This is where most paver jobs succeed or fail, so we dig to proper depth and use the right base materials for Delaware County soil conditions. We’re not rushing this part to save time.

Then we install your pavers according to manufacturer specifications, not shortcuts we’ve seen other contractors take. Every joint gets proper sand, every edge gets restraint, and we clean everything before we consider the job complete. You can drive on it immediately—no waiting for concrete to cure.

Custom Paver Design Options

More Than Just Standard Rectangles

You’re not limited to basic brick patterns or standard colors. We work with multiple paver manufacturers to match your home’s style, whether that’s traditional, contemporary, or something completely custom.

Driveways can incorporate borders, curves, or different textures for visual interest. Patios can include built-in planters, fire pit areas, or multi-level designs. Walkways can connect different outdoor spaces with complementary materials and patterns.

We also handle the practical details you might not think about. Proper drainage slopes, transition strips where pavers meet existing concrete, and coordination with any landscaping or lighting you’re planning. The goal is a finished project that looks intentional, not like an afterthought.

How long do pavers last compared to concrete driveways?

Properly installed pavers typically last 20-25 years in Pennsylvania weather, often longer with minimal maintenance. Concrete driveways usually start showing significant cracks within 5-10 years due to our freeze-thaw cycles. The key difference is that individual pavers can be replaced if damaged, while concrete requires full section replacement. Pavers also flex slightly with soil movement instead of cracking like rigid concrete, which is why they handle our winters better.

What's the difference between interlocking pavers and regular concrete pavers?

Interlocking pavers have designed edges that fit together tightly, creating a stronger surface that distributes weight better than standard concrete pavers. They’re less likely to shift or settle over time because each paver supports its neighbors. Regular concrete pavers rely mainly on the base preparation and sand joints for stability. For driveways and high-traffic areas in Lower Chichester, interlocking pavers are usually the better choice because they handle vehicle weight and soil movement more effectively.

Do I need permits for paver installation in Lower Chichester?

Most paver patios and walkways don’t require permits in Lower Chichester, but driveway work sometimes does, especially if you’re changing the drainage pattern or connecting to township roads. We handle permit applications when needed and know the local requirements. It’s always better to check first than deal with compliance issues later. The township is generally reasonable about paver projects, but they want to make sure drainage and setbacks are handled correctly.

How do you prevent weeds from growing between pavers?

Proper installation is the best weed prevention. We use polymeric sand in the joints, which hardens when activated with water and creates a barrier that weeds can’t penetrate easily. The base preparation also matters—a properly compacted base with landscape fabric prevents weeds from growing up through the pavers. Even with these measures, you might see occasional weeds in heavy shade areas, but they’re easy to remove and much less frequent than with regular sand joints.

Can pavers be installed over existing concrete?

Sometimes, but it depends on the condition of your existing concrete and drainage considerations. If the concrete is level, structurally sound, and has proper drainage, pavers can be installed over it with the right preparation. However, if there are cracks, settling, or drainage problems, it’s usually better to remove the concrete and start with a proper base. Installing over bad concrete just transfers those problems to your new pavers. We evaluate each situation individually.

What maintenance do pavers require after installation?

Pavers are low maintenance but not no maintenance. You’ll want to sweep them regularly and rinse off any stains promptly. Every 2-3 years, you might need to add polymeric sand to joints where it’s washed out. Sealing is optional but recommended every 3-5 years to protect against stains and enhance color. Snow removal is easier than concrete because pavers warm up faster and ice melts more readily. Overall, you’re looking at maybe a few hours of maintenance per year.
