Here's How We Handle Your Project

First, we assess your site and discuss what you want to accomplish. We measure everything, check drainage patterns, and identify any soil issues that need addressing before installation begins.

Next comes excavation and base preparation. This is the most critical phase – we remove existing materials, grade for proper drainage, and install a compacted base that won’t shift or settle over time.

Then we install your pavers according to manufacturer specifications, ensuring proper spacing and alignment. We finish with edge restraints and joint sand, plus a final compaction that locks everything in place. You get a surface that’s ready to handle whatever you throw at it.

How long do professionally installed pavers last in North Carolina?

Properly installed pavers typically last 25-30 years or more in North Carolina’s climate. The key is correct base preparation and using quality materials rated for freeze-thaw cycles. Concrete pavers handle temperature swings better than poured concrete, which tends to crack within 5-10 years. Individual pavers can be replaced if damaged, unlike concrete slabs that require complete replacement when they fail. Regular maintenance like re-sanding joints every few years helps maximize lifespan.
Pavers offer flexibility that concrete can’t match. When soil shifts or settles, pavers move slightly and stay intact while concrete cracks. Pavers also provide better drainage through joints, reducing water pooling and ice formation. Repair costs are lower since you replace individual pavers rather than entire sections. Installation takes longer initially, but you avoid the frequent repairs that concrete requires. For North Carolina’s clay soil and weather patterns, pavers are typically the more cost-effective long-term choice.
Proper drainage starts with site grading during excavation. We slope surfaces away from buildings and toward appropriate drainage areas. The base layer includes drainage considerations, and we can install drainage systems underneath when needed. Paver joints allow water infiltration, reducing runoff compared to solid concrete. For areas with drainage challenges, we use permeable pavers that allow water to pass through the surface into the ground below. Every installation is designed to handle North Carolina’s heavy rainfall periods.
Maintenance is minimal but important for longevity. Re-sand joints every 2-3 years to prevent weed growth and maintain stability. Clean surfaces periodically with standard cleaning methods – power washing is fine for most paver types. Address any settling or shifting quickly by re-leveling affected areas. Seal pavers every 3-5 years if you want enhanced color and stain resistance, though sealing isn’t required for structural integrity. Most homeowners find paver maintenance much easier than concrete repair and replacement cycles.
Initial paver installation costs more than basic concrete, typically 20-40% higher depending on materials chosen. However, total cost over 20+ years often favors pavers due to lower maintenance and replacement needs. Concrete requires significant repairs or replacement every 10-15 years in North Carolina’s climate, while properly installed pavers last decades with minimal maintenance. Factor in increased property value from quality hardscaping, and pavers often provide better return on investment despite higher upfront costs.
Installation over existing surfaces is possible but depends on the condition and stability of what’s underneath. The existing surface must be structurally sound, properly sloped for drainage, and thick enough to support additional weight. Cracked or settling concrete usually needs removal for proper installation. When overlay is appropriate, we add base materials and adjust for the increased height. However, complete removal and proper base preparation typically provide better long-term results, especially in areas with known drainage or soil issues.
