No more worrying about drainage issues, uneven surfaces, or pavers that shift over time. Professional installation means your investment stays protected, your maintenance stays minimal, and your outdoor space stays stunning for decades.
The result? An outdoor environment that seamlessly extends your indoor living space, built to withstand everything from morning fog to intense summer sun.
Since 1975, we’ve been the Bay Area’s go-to partner for landscape design and construction, serving homeowners from Silicon Valley to Interlaken with unmatched expertise. We’re family-operated, which means every project gets personal attention and accountability you won’t find with larger companies.
What sets us apart in Interlaken? We understand the unique challenges of Bay Area properties—from clay soil conditions to drainage requirements to design aesthetics that complement your home’s architecture. Our team has installed thousands of paver projects throughout the region, so we know what works and what doesn’t.
We’re one of the few contractors who guarantee both start and completion dates. That’s not just confidence—it’s accountability.
First, we conduct an in-person site consultation where we listen to your vision, assess your property’s specific conditions, and discuss your lifestyle needs. This isn’t a quick sales pitch—we take time to understand what you actually want.
Next, we create 3D and CAD designs that show you exactly what your finished project will look like. You’ll see colors, patterns, and layouts before we break ground, so there are no surprises or regrets later.
During construction, you receive daily updates from our experienced project manager. We handle permits, coordinate materials, and manage every detail while keeping you informed. Our crews work efficiently and clean up thoroughly each day.
The final step is our comprehensive walk-through where we ensure every detail meets our standards and your expectations. We don’t consider the job finished until you’re completely satisfied.
Ready to get started?
Your paver installation includes proper excavation, base preparation, and drainage solutions designed for Bay Area conditions. We handle everything from permits to material delivery, so you don’t need to coordinate multiple vendors or worry about logistics.
Interlaken properties often require special attention to drainage due to the area’s topography and seasonal weather patterns. Our installations include proper grading and, when needed, permeable paver options that manage stormwater runoff effectively—increasingly important given California’s environmental regulations.
We use only premium materials suited for the Bay Area climate. Whether you choose concrete pavers, natural stone, or specialty options, every material is selected for durability and aesthetic appeal. Our installation includes proper edging, joint sand application, and sealing when appropriate.
Each project comes with our workmanship guarantee and detailed maintenance instructions to keep your investment looking its best for years to come.
Most residential paver projects in Interlaken take 5-10 days from start to finish, depending on the size and complexity of your design. Weather rarely delays our work since we’re experienced with Bay Area conditions.
The timeline includes excavation, base preparation, paver installation, and finishing work. We provide guaranteed start and completion dates—something most contractors won’t commit to. Larger projects like driveways or extensive patios may take 10-14 days, but we’ll give you exact timelines during your consultation.
We work efficiently without rushing because proper installation requires attention to detail, especially for the base preparation that determines your project’s long-term success.
Paver installation costs vary based on materials, design complexity, and site conditions, but most Bay Area projects range from $15-30 per square foot installed. Premium materials like natural stone or intricate patterns increase costs, while standard concrete pavers in simple layouts are more economical.
Interlaken properties sometimes require additional drainage work or challenging access, which affects pricing. We provide detailed, written estimates that break down all costs—no surprises or hidden fees later.
The investment pays off through increased property value, reduced maintenance compared to other surfaces, and decades of durability when installed correctly. We offer free consultations to provide accurate pricing for your specific project.
Most paver patios and walkways in Interlaken don’t require permits, but driveways and larger projects sometimes do, depending on size and drainage considerations. We handle all permit requirements as part of our service.
Local regulations can be complex, especially regarding drainage and setbacks from property lines. Our 50+ years in the Bay Area means we know exactly what’s required and maintain relationships with local building departments.
We take care of the paperwork, inspections, and compliance issues so you don’t have to navigate bureaucracy. This is included in our service—no additional fees for permit handling.
Concrete pavers and natural stone perform excellently in Bay Area conditions, handling everything from coastal moisture to inland heat. We avoid materials that don’t handle freeze-thaw cycles or excessive moisture well.
For Interlaken’s specific microclimate, we often recommend permeable pavers that manage seasonal rainfall effectively while maintaining durability. Porcelain pavers are increasingly popular for their stain resistance and low maintenance, though proper installation is critical.
Color selection matters too—lighter colors reflect heat during hot summers, while darker tones provide warmth during cooler months. We’ll recommend specific materials based on your property’s exposure, usage patterns, and maintenance preferences during your consultation.
Properly installed pavers require minimal maintenance—occasional sweeping, periodic joint sand replenishment, and annual cleaning. Bay Area conditions are generally favorable for paver longevity.
For Interlaken properties, we recommend spring cleaning to remove winter debris and fall preparation to ensure proper drainage during rainy season. Sealing isn’t always necessary but can enhance color and provide stain protection, especially for high-traffic areas.
We provide detailed maintenance instructions specific to your materials and installation. Most homeowners find pavers much easier to maintain than concrete or asphalt, with the added benefit that individual pavers can be replaced if damaged rather than resurfacing entire areas.
DIY paver installation typically requires 40-50 hours of labor and specialized knowledge of grading, drainage, and base preparation. Mistakes in these areas lead to uneven surfaces, drainage problems, and premature failure.
Professional installation ensures proper excavation depth, compaction, and drainage solutions critical for Bay Area soil conditions. We have the equipment and expertise to handle challenges like clay soil, slopes, and existing irrigation systems that DIY projects often encounter.
The cost difference between professional and DIY installation narrows when you factor in tool rental, material waste, and potential do-overs. Our installations come with warranties and guaranteed results—peace of mind that DIY projects can’t provide.
