Professional Paver Installation Services

Your Property, Transformed and Protected

You get a driveway that doesn’t crack every winter. A patio where water flows away from your foundation instead of pooling against it. Surfaces that stay level because the base was done right the first time.

Pennsylvania’s freeze-thaw cycles destroy concrete. But properly installed interlocking pavers move with the ground instead of fighting it. When one paver does need replacement years down the road, you replace just that piece – not the entire surface.

Your home looks the way you want it to look. Clean lines, colors that complement your house, patterns that make sense for your space. And it stays that way because the materials and installation can handle what our climate throws at them.

Prospect Park Paver Specialists

We Know What Works Here

We’ve been installing pavers in Prospect Park and surrounding areas long enough to see what lasts and what fails. We’ve repaired plenty of jobs that looked good for a year or two before the problems started showing.

The difference is in the details most contractors skip. Proper excavation depth. The right base materials. Compaction that actually creates stability. Edge restraints that keep everything in place when the ground shifts.

We’re not the cheapest option in town. But we’re the one that saves you from having to redo the work in five years when shortcuts catch up with you.

Paver Installation Process

How We Build Pavers Right

First, we excavate to the proper depth – usually 8-10 inches for driveways, 6-8 for patios. Most problems start here when contractors don’t dig deep enough or skip the base preparation entirely.

Next comes the base layer. We use crushed stone that compacts properly and drains well. Multiple lifts, each compacted separately. This is what keeps your pavers from settling unevenly or shifting over time.

Then we install edge restraints to lock everything in place. Sand leveling comes next – the bed your pavers actually sit on. Finally, the pavers themselves, cut and fitted precisely. Joint sand gets swept in and compacted to lock the surface together.

The whole system works as one unit. Each step supports the others. Skip any part of the process and problems show up later.

Properly installed pavers typically last 25-30 years or more, while poured concrete in Pennsylvania often starts showing significant cracking within 5-10 years due to our freeze-thaw cycles. The key difference is that pavers are designed to move slightly with ground movement, while concrete cracks when it can’t flex. Individual pavers can also be replaced if damaged, while concrete requires patching or complete replacement of larger sections.
Concrete pavers offer more consistent sizing and color options, making installation more predictable and often more affordable. They’re manufactured to specific standards for strength and durability. Natural stone provides unique character and tends to appreciate in value over time, but requires more skilled installation due to size variations. Both work well in Pennsylvania’s climate when properly installed, so the choice often comes down to budget, desired appearance, and maintenance preferences.
Proper base preparation is everything. We excavate to the correct depth, install a crushed stone base in compacted lifts, and use edge restraints to lock the system in place. The base typically needs to be 6-8 inches deep for patios and 8-10 inches for driveways. Many failed paver installations result from inadequate base preparation or skipping the edge restraint system. Joint sand between pavers also helps lock everything together once compacted.
Sometimes, but it depends on the condition of the existing concrete and drainage considerations. The concrete needs to be structurally sound, properly sloped for drainage, and thick enough to support the additional weight. We also need to account for the height increase and how it affects transitions to other surfaces. In many cases, removing the old concrete and starting fresh provides better long-term results, especially if the existing surface has drainage or settling issues.
Regular maintenance is minimal – occasional sweeping and rinsing with a hose. Joint sand may need refreshing every few years, especially in high-traffic areas. Sealing is optional but can enhance color and make cleaning easier. Individual pavers can be lifted and releveled if settling occurs, though this is rare with proper installation. Weeds between joints can be controlled with standard treatments or by maintaining proper joint sand levels.
Paver installation typically costs more upfront than poured concrete, but often provides better long-term value due to durability and repairability. Costs vary based on paver type, pattern complexity, site conditions, and project size. We provide detailed estimates that break down materials, labor, and any site preparation needed. While concrete might seem less expensive initially, factor in likely repairs and eventual replacement when comparing total lifetime costs.
