Patio Paver Installation Process

Here's How We Handle Your Project

First, we come out to see what you’re working with. We measure the space, check drainage, and talk through what you want to accomplish. No pressure, just information.

Once you’re ready to move forward, we handle permits if needed and order materials. The actual installation starts with proper excavation – this is where most problems get prevented or created. We dig to the right depth, install the base material, and compact everything properly.

Then comes the paver installation itself. Each stone gets set level and tight. We finish with joint sand and sealing if you want that extra protection. The whole process typically takes a few days to a week, depending on size and complexity.

What's Included In Your Installation

Every patio paver project includes proper site preparation, which means excavation to the right depth and base material that won’t shift over time. You get professional-grade pavers installed with the correct gaps and levels.

We handle drainage planning so water goes where it should instead of where it shouldn’t. If your project needs permits, we take care of that paperwork. Clean-up is included – you don’t get stuck with a pile of debris when we’re done.

Most Kings Park projects also benefit from our understanding of local soil conditions. Sandy areas need different base preparation than clay. Properties near the water face different drainage challenges than inland locations. We adjust our approach based on what your specific site needs.

How long do patio pavers last in Long Island weather?

Quality pavers installed with proper base preparation typically last 20-30 years or more in Long Island’s climate. The key is the installation process, not just the pavers themselves. Proper excavation depth, the right base materials, and correct compaction prevent the settling and shifting that cause problems. Pavers actually handle freeze-thaw cycles better than poured concrete because individual stones can move slightly without cracking. The joints between pavers also allow for better drainage, which reduces ice damage in winter.
The biggest difference is in the base preparation and long-term results. Cheaper installations often skip steps like proper excavation depth, adequate base material, or thorough compaction. This saves money upfront but leads to settling, uneven surfaces, and costly repairs within a few years. Quality installation costs more initially but includes proper site preparation, better materials, and techniques that prevent future problems. You’re essentially choosing between paying once for a job done right or paying multiple times to fix shortcuts.
Most basic patio paver installations don’t require permits in Kings Park, but there are exceptions. Projects that affect drainage patterns, involve significant grading changes, or connect to existing structures might need permits. If your patio is part of a larger renovation or includes features like retaining walls, permits become more likely. We handle permit research and applications when needed, so you don’t have to navigate the town building department yourself. It’s always better to check beforehand than deal with problems later.
Proper drainage starts with the initial site evaluation and continues through every step of installation. We grade the base to direct water away from your house and toward appropriate drainage areas. The gaps between pavers allow water to filter through rather than running off in sheets. If your property has specific drainage challenges, we can incorporate solutions like French drains or catch basins into the design. Long Island’s sandy soil generally drains well, but areas with clay or near-surface hardpan need different approaches.
Concrete pavers and natural stone both work well here, but each has advantages depending on your priorities. Concrete pavers offer consistent sizing, more color options, and typically cost less than natural stone. Natural stone like bluestone or fieldstone provides unique character and tends to age well in coastal conditions. Both materials handle salt air and temperature changes effectively when properly installed. The choice often comes down to your budget, desired appearance, and how much variation in color and texture you want.
Patio paver installation costs vary based on size, material choice, site conditions, and complexity of the design. Basic concrete paver patios typically start around $15-20 per square foot installed, while premium materials or complex designs can run $25-35 per square foot or more. Factors that affect pricing include excavation requirements, drainage needs, access to the work area, and any additional features like steps or borders. We provide detailed estimates after seeing your specific site and understanding what you want to accomplish.
