Paver Installation Process

How We Install Pavers Right

First, we excavate to the proper depth and grade the area for drainage. This isn’t negotiable – shortcuts here cause problems later. We remove enough soil to accommodate the base material, sand, and pavers while maintaining proper slope away from structures.

Next comes the base preparation. We install and compact aggregate base material in lifts, creating a stable foundation that won’t shift or settle. Proper compaction at this stage determines whether your pavers stay level for decades or start moving within a few years.

Finally, we install the pavers with precise joint spacing, cut edges cleanly, and sweep polymeric sand into the joints. Edge restraints keep everything locked in place. The result is a surface that looks professional and performs like it should.

How long does paver installation typically take to complete?

Most residential paver projects take 3-5 days depending on size and complexity. A typical patio paver installation might take 2-3 days, while a full driveway usually requires 4-5 days. Weather can affect the timeline, especially during excavation and base preparation phases. We’ll give you a realistic timeline during the estimate and keep you updated if conditions change. Commercial projects vary more widely based on scope, but we provide detailed schedules for all commercial paver installations.
Concrete pavers are manufactured with specific dimensions and come in more color and texture options. They’re typically more affordable and offer consistent quality. Brick pavers are made from fired clay and offer a more traditional look with natural color variations. Both are durable when properly installed, but concrete pavers generally provide more design flexibility. The choice often comes down to your aesthetic preferences and budget. We can show you samples of both materials and explain how each performs in our local climate.
Pavers themselves require minimal maintenance – occasional cleaning and joint sand replacement as needed. Sealing is optional but recommended for certain applications. Sealed pavers resist stains better and maintain their color longer, but unsealed pavers are perfectly functional. We recommend sealing for pool areas, driveways that see oil exposure, and areas where stain resistance is important. Most residential patios and walkways don’t require sealing unless you prefer the enhanced appearance and easier cleaning that sealing provides.
Proper drainage starts with correct grading during excavation. We slope the base away from structures and toward appropriate drainage areas. For areas with drainage challenges, we install drainage systems beneath the pavers before base installation. This might include French drains, catch basins, or permeable base materials depending on the situation. North Carolina’s clay soil requires careful attention to drainage, and we factor this into every installation. Poor drainage is the leading cause of paver failure, so we don’t cut corners here.
Properly installed pavers with adequate base preparation shouldn’t settle or shift significantly. When problems occur, it’s usually due to inadequate excavation, poor base compaction, or drainage issues. Our installations include proper base depth, mechanical compaction, and edge restraints to prevent movement. We warranty our workmanship, so if settling occurs due to installation issues, we’ll address it. However, pavers can be affected by extreme soil movement, root growth, or changes in drainage patterns that occur years after installation.
In some cases, yes, but it depends on the condition of the existing surface and drainage considerations. The existing surface must be structurally sound, properly sloped, and well-drained. We typically add a leveling layer and adjust for the additional height. However, removing the existing surface often provides better long-term results and allows us to address drainage properly. We’ll evaluate your specific situation and recommend the best approach. Overlay installations can work well for certain applications but aren’t suitable for every project.
