Radnor Paver Specialists

We Know Delaware County Soil

Spennato Landscaping has been handling paver projects in Radnor and surrounding Delaware County areas for years. We understand how the local clay soil shifts and what it takes to build surfaces that stay put.

You’re not getting a crew that learned their trade on YouTube. Our team knows the difference between a job that looks good for six months and one that’s still solid in ten years.

We’ve seen what happens when corners get cut on excavation and base preparation. That’s why we do the work right the first time.

Paver Installation Process

How We Build Surfaces That Last

First, we excavate to the proper depth – usually 8-10 inches depending on your soil and intended use. This isn’t negotiable. Shallow excavation is why most paver jobs fail within a few years.

Next comes the base layer. We use crushed stone, compact it in lifts, and grade it for proper drainage. Water is the enemy of any hardscape project. Get the drainage wrong and nothing else matters.

Then we install edge restraints, lay the pavers according to your design, and finish with polymeric sand that locks everything together. The final result is a surface that moves as one unit instead of individual pieces that can shift.

You get a clear timeline upfront and regular updates throughout the process. No surprises, no extended disruptions to your daily routine.

Custom Paver Design Options

Materials and Designs That Fit

We work with concrete pavers, natural stone, and interlocking systems depending on your needs and budget. Each has its place, and we’ll tell you honestly which makes sense for your specific project.

Driveway installations get extra attention to load-bearing requirements. Patios focus on drainage and integration with your existing landscape. Walkways need to handle foot traffic and weather without becoming slip hazards.

Custom designs are available, but we’re not going to oversell you on complexity you don’t need. Sometimes the cleanest, most straightforward approach gives you exactly what you want without the premium price tag.

We also handle paver repair and restoration. If your existing pavers are structurally sound but need releveling or fresh sand, we can often restore them for much less than full replacement.

With proper installation and occasional maintenance, quality pavers can last 25-30 years or more. The key factors are adequate excavation depth, proper base preparation, and correct drainage. Pavers themselves are durable – it’s usually the foundation that determines longevity. Concrete pavers are particularly resilient in Pennsylvania’s freeze-thaw cycles because individual units can move slightly without cracking, unlike poured concrete which tends to crack as a single slab.
Concrete pavers offer consistent sizing, color options, and typically cost less than natural stone. They’re manufactured to precise specifications, making installation more predictable. Natural stone like bluestone or flagstone provides unique character and tends to age beautifully, but costs more and requires more skilled installation due to thickness variations. For driveways, concrete pavers often make more sense due to their uniform strength. For patios and walkways, either can work well depending on your aesthetic preferences and budget.
Proper drainage starts with the excavation and base preparation. We grade the base to direct water away from foundations and create positive drainage flow. The gaps between pavers allow some water infiltration, but the base layer needs to handle the bulk of drainage. In areas with heavy clay soil like parts of Radnor, we sometimes install drainage systems beneath the base layer. We also pay attention to how the finished surface integrates with existing drainage patterns around your property.
Sometimes, but it depends on the condition of the existing concrete and the specific application. If the concrete is level, structurally sound, and has proper drainage, thin pavers can sometimes be installed over it. However, this approach has limitations and isn’t suitable for driveways or areas with heavy loads. In most cases, removing the old concrete and doing a proper excavation gives better long-term results. We’ll assess your existing surface and recommend the approach that makes the most sense for your situation and budget.
Pavers need occasional cleaning and re-sanding of joints every few years. Polymeric sand helps lock pavers together and resist weed growth, but it eventually needs refreshing. Sealing is optional but can enhance color and provide some stain protection. Most maintenance is straightforward – sweep regularly, rinse off stains promptly, and address any settling issues quickly. Individual pavers can be replaced if damaged, which is a major advantage over concrete slabs. Overall, pavers require less maintenance than most people expect.
Most residential paver projects take 3-7 days depending on size, complexity, and weather conditions. A standard driveway usually takes 4-5 days, while a patio might be completed in 2-3 days. The excavation and base preparation typically take the most time – rushing this phase leads to problems later. Weather can extend timelines since we won’t install pavers on wet base material or in freezing conditions. We’ll give you a realistic timeline upfront and keep you updated if conditions require adjustments.
