Outdoor Spaces You'll Use For Years

Your paver patio becomes the place where summer evenings happen. Where the grill gets fired up and conversations run late. Where you’re not worried about cracks spreading or sections sinking after the first hard winter.

That’s what happens when pavers are installed right from the start. The base is excavated to proper depth. The gravel is compacted in lifts. The sand is screened level. Every step matters because Pennsylvania weather doesn’t give you a second chance.

You get a driveway that handles the freeze-thaw cycles. A patio that stays level season after season. An investment that actually adds value to your property instead of becoming a maintenance headache.

Aldan Paver Installation Experts

We Know Delaware County Soil Conditions

We’ve been installing pavers in Aldan and throughout Delaware County for years. We understand how the clay-heavy soil here behaves during wet seasons and what it takes to create a stable foundation.

Every project starts with proper excavation and base preparation. We don’t cut corners on the steps you can’t see because those are the ones that determine whether your pavers look great in year five or become a problem you wish you’d avoided.

Our team handles both residential and commercial paver installations. From custom patio designs to complete driveway replacements, we approach every project with the same attention to detail.

Paver Installation Process

Here's How We Install Pavers Right

First, we excavate to the proper depth based on your soil conditions and intended use. For driveways, that means going deeper than patios because the load requirements are different. We don’t guess at this – the excavation depth determines everything that follows.

Next comes base preparation. We install and compact crushed stone in lifts, not all at once. Each lift gets compacted before the next goes down. This creates the stable foundation that prevents settling and keeps your pavers level.

Then we install edge restraints and screen the sand base perfectly level. The pavers go down according to your chosen pattern, and we finish with joint sand and a final compaction. The result is a surface that’s built to handle whatever Pennsylvania weather brings.

Installation, Repair, and Custom Design Work

We handle new paver installations for patios, driveways, walkways, and pool decks. Whether you want a simple rectangular patio or a custom design with borders and patterns, we work with you to create the layout that fits your space and budget.

Paver repair is another specialty. If you have sections that have settled or pavers that have cracked, we can often restore the area without replacing everything. Sometimes it’s a drainage issue. Sometimes the base wasn’t installed properly from the start. We diagnose the problem and fix it right.

Material options include concrete pavers, natural stone, and interlocking systems. Each has advantages depending on your specific application. We’ll walk you through the options and help you choose what makes sense for your project and maintenance preferences.

Most residential paver patios take 3-5 days from start to finish, depending on size and complexity. Driveways usually require 4-7 days because of the additional base preparation needed for vehicle loads. Weather can extend timelines – we won’t install pavers in wet conditions because proper compaction is impossible. The excavation and base work typically take the longest, but that’s also the most critical part of the job. We’d rather take extra time on the foundation than rush through it and create problems later.
Concrete pavers offer consistent sizing, color options, and typically cost less than natural stone. They’re manufactured to specific dimensions, which makes installation more predictable. Natural stone like bluestone or flagstone provides unique character – no two pieces are identical. It generally costs more and requires more skill to install properly because of size variations. Both can last decades when installed correctly. Your choice often comes down to aesthetic preference and budget. We can show you samples of both and explain how each would look in your specific application.
Properly installed pavers actually handle freeze-thaw cycles better than poured concrete because they’re designed to move slightly as a system. The key is proper base preparation and drainage. We excavate below the frost line and install a compacted stone base that allows water to drain through rather than pooling underneath. Individual pavers can be replaced if damaged, unlike concrete slabs that crack and require complete sections to be removed. The interlocking design distributes loads across multiple pavers rather than creating stress points that lead to cracking.
Paver installation typically costs more upfront than poured concrete, but the long-term value equation often favors pavers. Installation costs vary based on excavation requirements, base preparation needs, and paver selection. Simple concrete pavers over a standard base run less than premium natural stone with complex patterns. However, pavers rarely need complete replacement like concrete slabs do when they crack. Individual pavers can be replaced, and the surface can be releveled if minor settling occurs. We provide detailed estimates that break down material and labor costs so you understand exactly what you’re paying for.
Most paver problems can be repaired without full replacement, depending on the underlying cause. Settled sections can often be releveled by removing pavers, adding base material, and reinstalling. Individual cracked pavers are easily replaced since they’re not permanently bonded together. Weed growth between joints is solved by removing old joint sand and installing polymeric sand that hardens when activated. The key is identifying why the problem occurred – poor drainage, inadequate base, or normal settling – and addressing the root cause along with the visible symptoms.
Pavers require minimal maintenance when installed properly. Occasional sweeping and rinsing with a hose handle most cleaning needs. Joint sand may need replenishing every few years, especially in high-traffic areas. Sealing is optional – it enhances color and provides some stain protection, but quality pavers don’t require sealing for durability. Snow removal is easier than with concrete because you can use ice melt products that would damage other surfaces. The main thing is addressing any drainage issues quickly if water starts pooling, since standing water can eventually undermine even the best base preparation.
