Drexel Hill Paver Specialists

We Know What Works Here

Spennato Landscaping has been handling paver projects in Drexel Hill and surrounding areas for years. We understand how Pennsylvania’s freeze-thaw cycles affect different materials and installation methods.

You’re not getting a crew that learned paver installation from YouTube videos. You’re getting contractors who’ve seen what happens when shortcuts are taken and know exactly how to avoid those problems.

We use proper base preparation, correct drainage techniques, and quality materials that hold up to local weather conditions. Our work stays level, stays secure, and keeps looking good because we do the foundational work that many contractors skip.

Paver Installation Process

Here's Exactly What Happens

First, we excavate to the proper depth and grade everything for drainage. This isn’t negotiable – poor base preparation is why most paver jobs fail within a few years.

Next comes the base material. We use the right aggregate, compact it properly, and check levels multiple times. Then we add the sand layer and begin setting pavers according to your chosen pattern.

Edge restraints go in to prevent spreading over time. We sweep polymeric sand into joints and compact everything one final time. The surface is cleaned and sealed if you’ve chosen that option.

You can walk or drive on your new pavers immediately after completion. No waiting for concrete to cure or worrying about premature use causing damage.

Custom Paver Design Options

Built for Your Space and Style

Every paver project starts with your specific needs and preferences. We handle driveway installations, patio construction, walkway creation, and repair work on existing paver surfaces.

Material options include concrete pavers, natural stone, and interlocking systems in various colors and patterns. We’ll show you what works best for your property’s architecture and your maintenance preferences.

Drainage solutions are built into every installation. Proper grading and permeable options prevent the water issues that plague solid concrete surfaces. In Drexel Hill’s climate, this attention to water management makes the difference between pavers that last decades and surfaces that need constant attention.

Custom borders, accent patterns, and integrated lighting options let you create exactly the look you want while maintaining the structural integrity that keeps everything functioning properly.

Properly installed pavers typically last 25-30 years or more, significantly longer than poured concrete in Pennsylvania’s climate. The key difference is how they handle freeze-thaw cycles. Concrete cracks when water freezes and expands in small fissures. Pavers have joints that accommodate this movement, and individual units can be replaced if damaged without affecting the entire surface. The flexible base system we use also prevents the settling and cracking issues common with rigid concrete installations.
The difference is almost entirely in base preparation and drainage, which you can’t see once the job is finished. Cheap installations skip proper excavation depth, use inadequate base materials, or don’t compact properly. This leads to settling, shifting, and premature failure within 2-3 years. Professional installation includes 6-8 inches of properly compacted aggregate base, correct sand leveling, appropriate edge restraints, and drainage considerations. These steps take more time and cost more upfront, but they’re what make pavers last decades instead of requiring repairs every few years.
Yes, when installed correctly, pavers are more durable in Pennsylvania winters than concrete or asphalt. The individual units and flexible joints handle freeze-thaw movement without cracking. For snow removal, pavers actually provide better traction than smooth concrete surfaces. Standard snow plows and salt applications won’t damage quality pavers. We recommend using plastic blade edges for snow removal to avoid scratching, but pavers can handle typical residential snow removal equipment without problems. The key is proper installation with adequate base depth and correct joint sand.
Paver installation typically costs 20-40% more than basic concrete initially, but the long-term value is significantly better. Concrete often needs major repairs or replacement within 10-15 years in our climate, while properly installed pavers can last 25-30 years with minimal maintenance. Factor in the increased property value, better appearance, and lower long-term maintenance costs, and pavers usually provide better overall value. We provide detailed estimates that break down material and labor costs so you can make an informed decision based on your specific project and budget.
Paver maintenance is minimal compared to other surface options. Annual tasks include sweeping debris from joints and occasional power washing to remove stains or buildup. Joint sand may need refreshing every 3-5 years, which involves sweeping new polymeric sand into joints and compacting. Sealing is optional but recommended every 5-7 years to maintain color and provide stain protection. Individual damaged pavers can be replaced without affecting surrounding areas. Overall, you’re looking at a few hours of maintenance per year versus potential major repairs with concrete surfaces.
Most residential paver projects take 3-7 days depending on size and complexity. A standard driveway usually takes 3-4 days, while larger patios or complex designs may require a full week. Weather can affect timeline since we won’t install pavers in wet conditions. The process includes excavation, base preparation, paver installation, and cleanup. We’ll give you a realistic timeline during the estimate and keep you updated on progress. Unlike concrete projects, there’s no curing time – you can use your new paver surface immediately after completion.
