Professional Paver Installation Services

Outdoor Spaces You'll Actually Use

You’re not just getting pavers installed. You’re getting a driveway that doesn’t crack every winter, a patio where you actually want to spend time, and walkways that guide guests to your door instead of tripping them up.

The difference shows up in the details. Proper base preparation means your pavers stay level year after year. Quality materials handle everything from summer heat to winter freeze-thaw cycles. And professional installation means you’re not calling someone back in six months to fix what should have been done right the first time.

Your neighbors will notice. More importantly, you’ll enjoy coming home to a property that looks as good as it functions.

Plaza Hills Paver Specialists

We Know North Carolina Soil

Union Landscaping and Hardscape S Corp has been installing pavers throughout Plaza Hills and the surrounding North Carolina area for years. We understand how our clay soil shifts, how our weather patterns affect outdoor installations, and what it takes to build something that lasts.

You won’t find us cutting corners on base preparation or using materials that can’t handle our climate. We’ve seen too many paver jobs fail because someone skipped steps or didn’t understand local conditions.

Our team shows up when scheduled, completes projects on time, and stands behind the work. That’s not revolutionary—it’s just how business should be done.

Paver Installation Process

No Surprises, No Shortcuts

First, we assess your space and discuss what you want to accomplish. We’ll talk materials, design options, and timeline. You’ll know exactly what to expect before we start.

Next comes proper site preparation. This is where many contractors cut corners, but it’s the foundation of everything that follows. We excavate to the right depth, install proper base materials, and ensure correct drainage. Your pavers are only as good as what’s underneath them.

Then we install your pavers according to manufacturer specifications and industry best practices. We use the right edge restraints, proper joint sand, and take time to ensure everything is level and properly aligned. The final step is cleanup and a walkthrough so you can see exactly what you’re getting.

Residential and Commercial Pavers

Driveways, Patios, and Walkways

We handle both residential and commercial paver projects throughout Plaza Hills. Whether you need a new driveway that can handle daily traffic, a patio for entertaining, or walkways that connect your outdoor spaces, we work with the materials and designs that make sense for your property.

Our residential paver services include driveway installation, patio construction, walkway creation, and pool deck work. For commercial clients, we install parking areas, walkways, and outdoor gathering spaces that handle heavy use while maintaining their appearance.

We work with brick pavers, natural stone, and interlocking concrete pavers. Each material has its advantages, and we’ll help you choose what works best for your specific application, budget, and maintenance preferences. The goal is always the same: an installation that looks great and performs well for years to come.

How long do professionally installed pavers typically last in North Carolina?

Properly installed pavers can last 25-30 years or more in North Carolina’s climate. The key is correct base preparation and using materials rated for our freeze-thaw cycles. Concrete pavers and natural stone both perform well here when installed correctly. The base preparation is critical—we excavate to proper depth, install the right base materials, and ensure proper drainage. This prevents the shifting and settling that cause most paver failures. Quality installation costs more upfront but saves money over time by avoiding repairs and replacements.

What's the difference between interlocking pavers and regular concrete pavers?

Interlocking pavers have specific shapes and joint patterns that create a mechanical connection between units. This makes the entire surface stronger and more resistant to shifting. Regular concrete pavers rely more on edge restraints and base preparation for stability. Both can work well, but interlocking pavers are often better for driveways and high-traffic areas. They’re also easier to repair if individual units get damaged—you can replace single pavers without affecting the surrounding area. The choice often comes down to your specific application, design preferences, and budget.

How do you prevent pavers from shifting or sinking over time?

Proper base preparation prevents 90% of paver problems. We excavate to the correct depth based on your soil conditions and intended use. Then we install a compacted gravel base, followed by a leveling layer of sand. Edge restraints keep everything in place. We also ensure proper drainage so water doesn’t undermine the base. Many contractors skip these steps to save time or money, but they’re essential for long-term performance. We also use polymeric sand in the joints, which hardens when activated and helps lock pavers in place while still allowing for minor movement.

Can you install pavers over existing concrete driveways or patios?

Sometimes, but it depends on the condition of the existing concrete and your specific situation. The concrete needs to be structurally sound, properly sloped for drainage, and not have significant cracks or settling issues. Installing pavers over concrete can save money and time, but it’s not always the best long-term solution. We evaluate each situation individually and recommend the approach that makes the most sense for your property and budget. In many cases, removing the old concrete and starting fresh provides better results and longer-lasting performance.

What maintenance do pavers require after installation?

Pavers require minimal maintenance when properly installed. You’ll need to occasionally sweep sand into the joints and remove weeds that might grow between pavers. Power washing once or twice a year keeps them looking good. Every few years, you might need to add fresh polymeric sand to the joints. If individual pavers get stained or damaged, they can be removed and replaced without affecting surrounding areas. This is actually one of the big advantages of pavers over concrete—repairs are localized and relatively simple. Overall, pavers require less maintenance than most other outdoor surface materials.

How long does a typical paver installation project take to complete?

Most residential paver projects take 3-7 days depending on size and complexity. A standard driveway might take 3-4 days, while a large patio with intricate patterns could take a week or more. Weather can affect timing, especially during base preparation and final compaction. We provide realistic timelines upfront and keep you updated on progress. Commercial projects vary widely based on scope and access requirements. The key is proper planning and having the right crew size for your project. We don’t rush installations because quality work takes time, but we also don’t drag projects out unnecessarily.
