You’re not just getting pavers installed. You’re getting 40 years of worry-free outdoor living that increases your property value from day one.
Most La Selva Beach homeowners discover their new paver installation becomes the heart of their outdoor entertaining. No more avoiding that cracked concrete or dealing with muddy patches during coastal weather.
Your investment pays dividends immediately—both in daily enjoyment and measurable property value. While your neighbors deal with maintenance headaches, you’ll have a stunning outdoor space that handles everything the Central Coast throws at it.
Since 1975, we’ve completed over 5,000 landscape projects throughout the Bay Area. We’ve worked with Silicon Valley executives and Santa Cruz County homeowners who demand excellence.
La Selva Beach’s coastal conditions require specific expertise. The salt air, seasonal weather patterns, and unique soil conditions aren’t something you learn overnight.
Our two licensed contractors understand exactly how to handle drainage in coastal areas, which materials withstand the marine environment, and how to create installations that look stunning year-round in your specific microclimate.
First, we visit your property for a comprehensive site assessment. Not a quick look-around, but a detailed evaluation of drainage, access, soil conditions, and your specific goals.
Next comes our 3D design process. You’ll see exactly what your finished project looks like before any work begins, including animated day and night views.
Installation starts with proper base preparation—the foundation that determines whether your pavers last 5 years or 40 years. Our crews handle excavation, grading, and drainage with the precision that comes from decades of coastal installations. Finally, we install your pavers with guaranteed start and completion dates, daily progress updates, and a final walkthrough to ensure everything meets our standards.

Your paver installation includes everything needed for long-term success in coastal conditions. Proper base preparation with drainage systems designed for Central Coast weather patterns.
La Selva Beach’s proximity to the ocean means your installation needs specific considerations. Salt air affects certain materials differently, and seasonal rain patterns require drainage solutions that work with your property’s natural grade.
We use materials specifically chosen for coastal durability and install them with techniques proven over 50 years of Bay Area projects. Your installation comes with comprehensive CAD plans, so future maintenance or additions integrate seamlessly. Every project includes our project management service, meaning you get daily updates and direct oversight from experienced professionals who’ve handled everything from simple patios to complex multi-level installations.
Paver installation in La Selva Beach typically ranges from $17-$30 per square foot, depending on materials, site conditions, and project complexity. A standard 400-square-foot patio averages $8,000-$12,000 installed.
The wide range reflects real factors that affect your project cost. Difficult access, extensive drainage work, or premium materials like natural stone increase costs. Conversely, straightforward installations with good access and standard concrete pavers fall toward the lower end.
La Selva Beach’s coastal location can add complexity—proper drainage is critical, and some materials perform better than others in marine environments. Getting an accurate estimate requires an on-site evaluation, which reputable contractors provide free.
Concrete pavers and natural stone perform exceptionally well in La Selva Beach’s coastal environment. Concrete pavers offer durability and design flexibility, while natural stone provides timeless appeal and superior weather resistance.
Salt air and seasonal moisture require materials that won’t deteriorate or stain over time. Quality concrete pavers are engineered to handle freeze-thaw cycles and resist salt damage. Natural stone like sandstone or granite naturally withstands coastal conditions but requires proper sealing.
Avoid cheaper materials that may look good initially but fail prematurely in marine environments. The upfront savings disappear when you’re replacing failed pavers in five years instead of enjoying a 40-year installation.
Most residential paver installations in La Selva Beach take 3-7 days, depending on project size and complexity. A typical 400-square-foot patio takes 3-4 days, while larger or more complex projects may require a full week.
Weather can affect timelines, especially during winter months when coastal storms make excavation and base work challenging. Experienced contractors plan for seasonal conditions and communicate realistic timelines upfront.
The key is proper base preparation, which can’t be rushed regardless of timeline pressure. Contractors who promise unrealistic timelines often cut corners on the foundation work that determines your installation’s longevity. Quality installations require adequate time for each phase.
Most residential paver patios and walkways in La Selva Beach don’t require permits, but retaining walls over 3 feet, drainage modifications, or work affecting public right-of-way typically do require permits.
Santa Cruz County has specific requirements for coastal properties, especially regarding drainage and runoff management. Any work that changes how water flows off your property may trigger permit requirements.
Experienced local contractors know current permit requirements and handle the application process when needed. We also understand which design modifications can avoid permit requirements while still achieving your goals. Always verify permit needs before starting work—unpermitted work can create problems during future property sales.
Look for contractors with extensive local experience, proper licensing, and a portfolio of coastal installations. Verify they understand La Selva Beach’s specific drainage requirements and have worked with similar soil conditions.
Ask for references from recent La Selva Beach projects and actually contact those homeowners. Quality contractors welcome reference checks and can provide multiple local examples. Review their installation process—proper base preparation is critical and non-negotiable.
Avoid contractors who provide quotes without site visits, promise unrealistic timelines, or can’t explain their drainage approach. The cheapest bid often becomes the most expensive when you factor in repairs, replacements, and the hassle of dealing with failed installations.
Properly installed pavers in La Selva Beach require minimal maintenance—occasional cleaning, periodic sand replenishment, and sealing every 3-5 years depending on traffic and exposure.
Coastal conditions mean more frequent cleaning due to salt air and organic debris, but quality pavers handle this easily. Power washing once or twice yearly keeps them looking new. Joint sand may need replenishment more frequently due to winter rains.
Sealing isn’t always necessary but extends color life and makes cleaning easier. The key is starting with quality materials and proper installation—well-built paver installations require less maintenance than most other hardscaping options while looking better longer.
