Professional Paver Installation Colwyn

Your Outdoor Space, Built Right

You’re tired of looking at that cracked concrete driveway. You know the one – where water pools after every storm, where weeds push through the gaps, where you cringe every time guests pull up to your house.

Here’s what changes when pavers are installed correctly. Your driveway becomes something you’re proud to show off. Water drains properly instead of creating puddles and ice patches. When Pennsylvania’s freeze-thaw cycles hit, your pavers flex instead of cracking like concrete.

Your patio becomes the space you actually want to use. No more avoiding certain sections because they’re uneven. No more apologizing for how it looks when you have people over. Just a clean, level surface that makes your backyard feel like an extension of your home.

Here's How We Handle Your Project

First, we assess your space and discuss what you want to achieve. We look at drainage patterns, existing conditions, and how you plan to use the area. No generic solutions – we design based on your specific situation.

Next comes excavation and base preparation. This is where most problems start, so we don’t cut corners. We excavate to proper depth, install appropriate base materials, and ensure proper grading for drainage. The base determines how long your pavers will last.

Then we install your pavers according to manufacturer specifications. Proper spacing, correct sand, appropriate edge restraints. We finish with joint sand and compaction to lock everything in place.

You get a final walkthrough where we explain maintenance requirements and answer any questions. Simple maintenance keeps your pavers looking great for years.

Properly installed pavers typically last 25-30 years in Pennsylvania, significantly longer than concrete. The key difference is how they handle our freeze-thaw cycles. Concrete cracks when water freezes and expands in small cracks. Pavers have joints that allow for movement, so they flex instead of cracking. When individual pavers do get damaged, you can replace just those pieces instead of replacing entire sections like you would with concrete.
Concrete pavers are manufactured to specific standards and come in consistent sizes, colors, and strengths. They’re typically more affordable and offer more design options. Brick pavers are made from clay and offer a traditional look but can be more expensive and have fewer color options. For driveways in our area, concrete pavers usually provide better value and durability. We help you choose based on your specific project, budget, and aesthetic preferences.
Paver installation typically costs more upfront than concrete – usually 20-40% more depending on the materials you choose. However, pavers often cost less over time because they require less maintenance and last longer. When concrete cracks or settles, you usually need to replace large sections. With pavers, you can repair small areas or even individual pieces. Most homeowners find the long-term value and appearance benefits justify the initial investment.
Sometimes, but it depends on the condition of your existing concrete. If the concrete is level, structurally sound, and has proper drainage, we can sometimes install pavers over it. However, if there are cracks, settling issues, or drainage problems, we typically recommend removing the concrete first. Installing over damaged concrete usually leads to problems later. We assess each situation individually and recommend the approach that gives you the best long-term results.
Proper installation is the best weed prevention. We use polymeric sand in the joints, which hardens when activated with water and creates a barrier against weed growth. We also ensure proper base preparation and use landscape fabric where appropriate. Even with these measures, some maintenance is required. Annual reapplication of polymeric sand and occasional spot treatment keep weeds minimal. The key is starting with proper installation – shortcuts during installation lead to more maintenance later.
Paver maintenance is straightforward but important for longevity. Regular sweeping prevents debris buildup. Occasional power washing removes stains and buildup. Every few years, you may need to add joint sand where it’s washed out. For heavily used areas, sealing every 3-5 years helps maintain color and makes cleaning easier. If individual pavers get damaged or stained beyond cleaning, they can be replaced individually. Overall, maintenance is minimal compared to other hardscaping options, but consistency helps preserve appearance and function.
