Paver Installation Process

Here's How We Install Pavers

First, we evaluate your space and discuss design options that work with your property. You get a detailed estimate that covers materials, labor, and timeline. No surprises later.

Next comes excavation and base preparation. This is where most problems start if done wrong. We excavate to proper depth, install geotextile fabric when needed, and create a compacted stone base that won’t settle.

Then we install edge restraints, lay pavers according to your chosen pattern, and complete joint sand application. Final compaction locks everything in place. We clean up completely and walk through the finished project with you.

Custom Paver Design Options

What's Included in Your Project

You get custom paver designs that complement your home’s architecture and your outdoor living goals. Whether you need a patio for entertaining, a driveway that handles Pennsylvania winters, or walkways that connect your outdoor spaces.

We handle paver patios, driveways, walkways, and outdoor living areas. Materials include concrete pavers, natural stone, and interlocking paver systems. You choose colors and patterns that work with your landscape.

Every project includes proper drainage solutions. Swarthmore’s clay soils require attention to water management. We grade for positive drainage and install drainage systems when needed. This prevents water pooling and protects your foundation.

Most paver patios take 3-5 days depending on size and complexity. Driveways usually require 5-7 days. Weather can affect timing, especially during excavation and base work. We schedule projects when we can work consistently and avoid starting jobs we can’t finish promptly. You’ll get a realistic timeline upfront based on your specific project scope and current weather conditions.
Concrete pavers offer consistent sizing, color options, and typically cost less than natural stone. They’re manufactured to specific standards and work well for most residential projects. Natural stone provides unique character and colors but requires more careful installation due to size variations. Both options perform well in Pennsylvania weather when installed properly. Your choice depends on budget, desired appearance, and specific application.
Yes, pavers handle freeze-thaw cycles better than poured concrete. Individual pavers can move slightly without cracking, while concrete slabs crack when the ground shifts. If a paver does get damaged, you replace individual pieces rather than sections. Proper installation with adequate base preparation is crucial for either option, but pavers give you more flexibility for repairs and adjustments over time.
Drainage starts with proper grading during excavation. We slope pavers away from structures and toward appropriate drainage areas. Swarthmore’s clay soils hold water, so we often install drainage systems beneath the paver base. Joint sand between pavers allows some water infiltration, but the stone base and any drainage systems handle the bulk of water management. Poor drainage causes most paver problems, so we address it upfront.
Pavers need occasional joint sand replenishment and regular cleaning. You’ll sweep or blow off debris and may need to add sand to joints every few years as it settles or washes out. Sealing is optional but helps with stain resistance and color retention. Weeds can grow in joints if sand levels get low, but proper maintenance prevents most issues. Overall maintenance is minimal compared to other outdoor surfaces.
Paver installation typically costs more upfront than basic concrete but less than premium materials like natural stone or stamped concrete. However, pavers often provide better long-term value due to durability and repairability. Costs vary based on paver type, project size, site conditions, and design complexity. We provide detailed estimates that break down material and labor costs so you understand exactly what you’re paying for.
