What You Get With Proper Paver Work

Your driveway stops being a problem. No more cracking concrete that lets water seep underneath and freeze. No more uneven surfaces that collect puddles and turn into ice rinks every winter.

Properly installed pavers flex with Pennsylvania’s ground movement instead of fighting it. They drain water instead of trapping it. When one does get damaged, you replace that piece instead of tearing up your entire driveway.

You get a surface that looks better in five years than most driveways look on day one. Plus the kind of curb appeal that makes your neighbors ask who did the work.

Haverford Paver Installation Experts

We Know Haverford Soil and Weather

We’ve been installing pavers in Haverford and the Main Line for years. We know how your soil moves, how water drains, and what happens when winter hits.

We’ve seen what works and what fails. The shortcuts other contractors take that cause problems two years later. The drainage issues that turn beautiful patios into water-damaged headaches.

That’s why we do the base work right the first time. It’s why we use materials that actually handle Pennsylvania weather instead of whatever’s cheapest.

Paver Installation Process Haverford

How We Install Pavers That Stay Put

First, we excavate to the right depth for your soil conditions. Not some generic measurement from a manual, but based on what we find when we dig. We check drainage and grade everything properly.

Then we build the base that actually matters. Proper stone selection, correct compaction, and the right depth for your specific application. This is where most problems start, so this is where we spend the time.

Finally, we install your pavers with the right edge restraints and joint sand. We make sure everything is level, properly spaced, and locked in place. When we’re done, you have a surface that’s built to handle whatever Pennsylvania weather brings.

What's Included in Your Paver Project

You get a complete installation from excavation to final cleanup. We handle permits, material delivery, and proper disposal of old materials. No surprise charges for things that should have been included from the start.

We work with interlocking pavers, concrete pavers, and natural stone depending on your needs and budget. Every project includes proper base preparation, drainage consideration, and professional-grade installation techniques.

Whether you’re replacing a cracked driveway, adding a patio, or creating walkways, you get the same attention to detail. Because a paver job is only as good as the foundation underneath it, and that’s where we never cut corners.

Properly installed pavers typically last 25-30 years or more in Pennsylvania’s climate. The key is correct base preparation and drainage. Unlike concrete that cracks from freeze-thaw cycles, individual pavers can flex with ground movement. When installed with the right base depth and proper compaction, they handle our winters without the cracking and heaving problems you see with other materials. The pavers themselves are rated for much longer, but factors like base settlement and edge restraint maintenance affect overall longevity.
Interlocking pavers have shapes designed to lock together, distributing weight across multiple units. This makes them stronger for driveways and areas with vehicle traffic. Concrete pavers are typically rectangular and rely more on sand joints for stability. Both work for driveways when properly installed, but interlocking pavers handle heavy loads better and are less likely to shift over time. The choice often comes down to your design preferences and budget, since interlocking pavers typically cost slightly more but offer better long-term performance for high-traffic areas.
Proper base preparation is everything. We excavate to the right depth for your soil type and intended use, then install a compacted stone base that won’t shift. Edge restraints around the perimeter lock everything in place. The base typically needs to be 6-8 inches deep for patios and 8-12 inches for driveways, depending on soil conditions. We also ensure proper drainage so water doesn’t undermine the base. Many paver problems come from contractors skipping these steps to save time or money, but there’s no shortcut to a stable installation.
It depends on the condition of your existing concrete. If it’s level, stable, and has good drainage, we can sometimes install pavers over it with proper preparation. However, if the concrete is cracked, settling, or has drainage issues, those problems will transfer to your new pavers. In most cases, removal gives you better results because we can control the base preparation and drainage. We’ll assess your existing surface and recommend the approach that gives you the best long-term results, not just the cheapest upfront option.
Pavers are relatively low maintenance compared to other surfaces. You’ll need to occasionally add joint sand as it settles or washes out, typically every 2-3 years. Sealing is optional but recommended every 3-5 years to maintain color and make cleaning easier. Regular sweeping and occasional power washing keep them looking good. If individual pavers get stained or damaged, you can replace just those pieces without affecting the rest of the surface. The biggest maintenance item is keeping the edges intact, since that’s what holds everything in place.
Paver installation typically costs more upfront than concrete or asphalt, but the long-term value is usually better. Concrete driveways in Pennsylvania often need replacement in 10-15 years due to cracking from freeze-thaw cycles. Asphalt needs regular sealing and eventual replacement. Quality pavers can last 25-30 years with minimal maintenance. When you factor in replacement costs and ongoing maintenance, pavers often cost less over time. The exact cost depends on material choice, site conditions, and project size. We provide detailed estimates that break down all costs so you can make an informed decision.
