What You Get With Quality Work

Your driveway stops cracking every winter. Your patio becomes the place where family actually wants to spend time. Your home stands out in the neighborhood for the right reasons.

When pavers are installed correctly, they handle freeze-thaw cycles without the drama of concrete slabs. They drain properly so water goes where it should instead of pooling against your foundation. And when one paver does need replacement years down the road, you replace one piece instead of jackhammering an entire section.

You’re not just getting a surface upgrade. You’re getting a solution that works with Thornbury’s soil conditions and weather patterns instead of fighting them.

We Know This Area's Ground

We’ve been handling paver projects in Thornbury and throughout Delaware County for years. We understand how our clay soil moves, what happens during wet springs, and why proper base preparation matters more here than in other areas.

You’ll work with contractors who live in this community and have seen what works long-term versus what looks good for six months. Our reputation depends on projects that still look right years later, not just at completion.

Paver Installation Process

How We Handle Your Project

First, we assess your space and discuss what you want to accomplish. We look at drainage, existing conditions, and how the new pavers will connect with your home’s style.

Next comes proper excavation and base preparation. This step determines whether your pavers will stay level for decades or start shifting within a few years. We excavate to the right depth, install proper drainage where needed, and create a stable base using the correct materials for our local soil conditions.

Then we install your pavers with precise attention to patterns, spacing, and edge restraints. Final steps include joint sand installation and sealing if appropriate for your specific paver type. You get a finished surface that’s ready to handle whatever you throw at it.

Properly installed pavers can last 25-50 years or more with minimal maintenance. The key is correct base preparation and using quality materials appropriate for our climate. Unlike poured concrete that can crack and require complete replacement, individual pavers can be replaced if damaged. Most of our Thornbury installations from 10+ years ago still look excellent with just occasional cleaning and re-sanding of joints. The initial investment pays off through decades of reliable performance.
The base preparation makes all the difference. DIY installations often skip proper excavation depth, use incorrect base materials, or don’t account for drainage needs. This leads to settling, shifting, and premature failure. Professional installation includes proper excavation (usually 8-12 inches deep), correct base materials, proper compaction, and edge restraints that keep everything in place. We also understand local soil conditions and drainage requirements that aren’t obvious to homeowners tackling their first paver project.
Pavers actually perform better than concrete in freeze-thaw cycles. Individual pavers can move slightly with ground movement without cracking, while concrete slabs crack when the ground shifts. Properly installed pavers also drain better, so water doesn’t pool and freeze on the surface. The joints between pavers allow for thermal expansion and contraction. We’ve seen concrete driveways crack within 2-3 winters while our paver installations from the same time period remain intact and level.
Maintenance is minimal but important for longevity. Annual cleaning with a pressure washer or hose removes debris and prevents staining. Joint sand may need refreshing every 2-3 years depending on weather and usage. Some homeowners choose to seal their pavers every 3-5 years for enhanced color and stain resistance, though this isn’t required for structural integrity. Occasional weed removal from joints and prompt attention to any stains keeps pavers looking their best. Total maintenance time is usually just a few hours per year.
Paver installation costs vary based on size, materials, site conditions, and design complexity. Simple paver patios typically start around $15-20 per square foot, while complex driveway projects with premium materials can reach $25-35 per square foot. Factors affecting price include excavation requirements, drainage needs, material choices, and pattern complexity. We provide detailed estimates that break down all costs so you understand exactly what you’re paying for. Most homeowners find the long-term value justifies the initial investment compared to cheaper alternatives that need replacement sooner.
Sometimes, but it depends on the condition of the existing concrete and proper height considerations. The concrete must be structurally sound, properly sloped for drainage, and not cracked or settling. Adding pavers over concrete raises the surface height, which can create issues with door thresholds, drainage, and transitions to other surfaces. In many cases, removing the old concrete and starting fresh provides better long-term results and more design flexibility. We evaluate each situation individually and recommend the approach that gives you the best outcome for your specific conditions and budget.
