Our Paver Installation Process

How We Handle Your Project

First, we meet at your property to discuss what you want and assess the space. We’ll talk about how you plan to use the area, drainage considerations, and design options that work with your home and budget.

Next comes excavation and base preparation – the part that determines whether your pavers will still look great in ten years. We excavate to proper depth, install the right base materials, and ensure proper grading for drainage.

Then we install your pavers according to manufacturer specifications and industry best practices. This includes proper edge restraints, joint sand, and final compaction. You can use your new patio immediately – no waiting for concrete to cure.

How long do patio pavers last compared to concrete?

Quality pavers typically last 25-50 years with proper installation and minimal maintenance, while concrete patios often show cracking and settling issues within 5-10 years, especially in Long Island’s climate. Pavers handle freeze-thaw cycles better because individual units can move slightly without cracking, and if one paver gets damaged, you can replace just that piece rather than breaking up an entire concrete slab. The key is proper base preparation – when installed correctly, pavers actually get more stable over time as the base settles and compacts.

What's the difference between cheap and quality paver installation?

The base preparation makes or breaks any paver project. Quality installation means excavating to proper depth (usually 8-12 inches depending on soil conditions), installing the right base materials in correct layers, and ensuring proper drainage and compaction at each stage. Cheap installations often skip steps – inadequate excavation, wrong base materials, or poor compaction leads to settling, shifting, and premature failure. You’ll also see differences in edge restraints, joint sand quality, and whether the installer follows manufacturer specifications. The installation matters more than the pavers themselves.

How much does a typical paver patio cost?

Paver patio costs in the Long Island area typically range from $15-30 per square foot installed, depending on the paver type, site conditions, and project complexity. A basic 12×16 patio might run $3,000-5,000, while larger or more complex projects with premium materials can reach $8,000-15,000 or more. Factors that affect cost include excavation requirements, drainage needs, access to your backyard, and design complexity. We provide detailed written estimates that break down materials and labor so you know exactly what you’re paying for.

Do I need permits for a paver patio installation?

Most basic paver patios don’t require permits in Long Island municipalities, but larger projects or those involving significant grading, drainage changes, or proximity to property lines might need approval. Projects over certain square footage thresholds sometimes require permits, and any work that affects drainage patterns or involves retaining walls typically needs review. We’re familiar with local requirements and will let you know if permits are needed for your specific project. When permits are required, we can handle the application process and ensure all work meets code requirements.

Can pavers be installed over existing concrete?

Pavers can sometimes be installed over existing concrete if the concrete is in good condition – level, stable, and properly draining. However, this approach has limitations and isn’t always the best long-term solution. If the existing concrete has cracks, settling, or drainage issues, those problems will likely affect the pavers over time. The concrete also needs to be at the right height to accommodate the pavers without creating drainage problems or awkward transitions to other surfaces. In many cases, removing the old concrete and doing proper base preparation gives you a better result that lasts longer.

What maintenance do paver patios require?

Paver maintenance is straightforward – occasional sweeping, rinsing with a hose, and reapplying joint sand every few years as needed. You might need to add polymeric sand to joints if it washes out over time, and sealing every 3-5 years helps maintain color and makes cleaning easier, though it’s not required for structural integrity. Individual pavers can be lifted and reset if they settle slightly, and stains usually come out with appropriate cleaners. The main thing is keeping joints filled with sand to prevent weed growth and maintain stability. Overall, pavers require less maintenance than concrete, which can crack and stain permanently.
