You’re tired of outdoor areas that look dated or require constant maintenance. Your Monte Sereno property deserves better than cracking concrete and water-logged patios that become unusable after every storm.
Professional paver installation solves these problems permanently. Instead of dealing with seasonal repairs and ongoing headaches, you get surfaces that handle Bay Area weather, resist cracking, and actually improve with age. Your new paver patios, driveways, and walkways become the foundation for the outdoor living you’ve been wanting.
No more avoiding entertaining because your outdoor space embarrasses you. No more watching water pool where it shouldn’t. Just clean, functional surfaces that make your property look as valuable as it actually is.
We’ve been transforming Monte Sereno properties since 1975. That’s 50 years of understanding exactly what works in our unique climate and what doesn’t.
We’ve completed over 5,000 projects for Bay Area homeowners, including executives from Apple, Yahoo, and the San Francisco 49ers. When you’re investing this much in your property, you want contractors who’ve proven themselves with the most demanding clients in Silicon Valley.
Our approach is different. We use 3D design technology so you see exactly what you’re getting before we break ground. Then we manage every detail through our vetted contractor network, guaranteeing start and completion dates that actually mean something. Most Monte Sereno projects are completed within 8-14 days.
First, we conduct an on-site consultation to understand your vision and assess your property’s specific conditions. Monte Sereno’s hillside locations often require special drainage considerations that inexperienced contractors miss.
Next, we create detailed 3D renderings and CAD installation plans. You’ll see exactly how your finished project looks during both day and night before we start. No surprises, no “trust us” moments.
Then we handle the entire installation through our network of vetted contractors. We manage scheduling, coordinate deliveries, and provide daily progress updates. You don’t deal with multiple vendors or worry about project management. We guarantee completion dates and stand behind our timeline commitments.

Our paver installation services cover everything from intimate garden pathways to expansive entertainment areas. We specialize in driveways that handle Monte Sereno’s steep grades, patios designed for year-round use, and walkways that complement your property’s natural setting.
Monte Sereno homeowners choose pavers because they offer the durability of concrete with the flexibility to handle ground movement. Our climate means occasional settling, and pavers adjust without cracking like solid concrete slabs do. Plus, if individual pavers ever need replacement, we can swap them out without redoing entire sections.
We work with premium materials including natural stone, concrete pavers, and specialty options like travertine that can last 100+ years with minimal maintenance. Each installation includes proper base preparation, drainage solutions, and edge restraints that prevent shifting over time. Your investment stays beautiful and functional for decades, not just years.
Paver installation in Monte Sereno typically ranges from $17-$30 per square foot, depending on materials and site conditions. A standard 400-square-foot patio runs $6,800-$12,000 including professional installation.
The wide range reflects material choices and site complexity. Basic concrete pavers with standard installation start around $17 per square foot. Premium natural stone or specialty pavers with complex patterns can reach $30+ per square foot. Monte Sereno’s hillside properties sometimes require additional drainage work or retaining walls, which affects total cost.
We provide detailed estimates that break down material costs, labor, and site preparation so you understand exactly what you’re paying for. Most homeowners find the investment worthwhile when they consider that quality paver installation lasts 25-50 years with minimal maintenance.
Concrete pavers and natural stone work exceptionally well in Monte Sereno’s Mediterranean climate. Both handle our wet winters and dry summers without significant expansion or contraction issues.
Concrete pavers offer the best value and come in dozens of colors and textures that mimic natural stone. They’re manufactured to precise specifications, so installation is faster and more predictable. For high-end applications, natural stone like travertine or flagstone provides unique character and can last over 100 years.
We don’t recommend basic brick pavers for driveways in Monte Sereno because they can become slippery on steep grades. For walkways and patios, brick works fine and offers classic appeal. The key is matching material choice to your specific application and maintenance preferences.
Most Monte Sereno paver projects take 8-14 days from start to finish, depending on size and complexity. A typical 400-square-foot patio is usually completed in 5-7 working days.
The timeline includes site preparation, base installation, paver laying, and final cleanup. Monte Sereno’s hillside locations sometimes require additional time for proper drainage installation or retaining wall work. Weather can also impact schedules during winter months.
We provide guaranteed start and completion dates with your contract. Unlike many contractors who give vague timeframes, we commit to specific dates and provide daily progress updates. If we encounter unexpected site conditions that might affect timing, we communicate immediately rather than leaving you guessing about project status.
Yes, pavers are actually ideal for Monte Sereno’s sloped driveways when properly installed. Unlike concrete, pavers flex with ground movement and provide better traction on steep grades.
The key is using pavers specifically rated for vehicular traffic (minimum 8,000 PSI) and installing a proper base system. We typically use a 6-8 inch compacted aggregate base for driveways, compared to 4 inches for walkways. Proper edge restraints prevent shifting under vehicle loads.
Interlocking concrete pavers work particularly well because they distribute weight across multiple units rather than concentrating stress like solid concrete does. We also install them with slight texture to improve traction during wet weather. Many Monte Sereno homeowners prefer pavers over asphalt because they look more upscale and don’t soften in summer heat.
Pavers require minimal maintenance in Monte Sereno’s climate. Annual cleaning with a pressure washer and occasional joint sand replenishment keeps them looking new for decades.
The main maintenance involves removing weeds from joints (easily prevented with polymeric sand) and occasional re-sanding of joints that wash out during heavy rains. Sealing is optional but recommended every 3-5 years for high-traffic areas or if you want to enhance color.
Individual paver replacement is simple if damage occurs. Unlike concrete slabs that require full section replacement, we can swap out damaged pavers without affecting surrounding areas. This is particularly valuable in Monte Sereno where tree roots or ground settling can cause isolated issues. Most homeowners find paver maintenance much easier than dealing with concrete crack repairs.
Absolutely. We specialize in integrating paver installations with existing mature landscaping, which is common in Monte Sereno’s established neighborhoods.
Our process includes careful assessment of root systems, irrigation lines, and drainage patterns before installation. We can work around valuable trees and established plantings while still achieving proper base preparation. Sometimes this requires hand excavation near sensitive root zones rather than heavy machinery.
We also coordinate with existing irrigation systems, often upgrading them during the paver installation process. Many Monte Sereno properties have older irrigation that benefits from modernization anyway. Our 3D design process helps visualize how new pavers will integrate with your current landscape before we start work.
