You get pavers that handle Montara’s unique coastal challenges without the headaches of cracking, shifting, or water damage. Our installations use materials specifically chosen for salt air resistance and proper drainage, so your investment stays beautiful and functional for decades.
No more worrying about contractors who disappear mid-project or surfaces that fail after the first winter storm. Every installation comes with guaranteed start and completion dates, daily progress updates, and materials that are 3-4 times stronger than standard concrete.
Your outdoor space becomes the entertaining hub you’ve always wanted—patios that don’t puddle, walkways that don’t crack, and driveways that actually enhance your curb appeal instead of detracting from it.
We’ve been solving coastal hardscaping challenges in the Bay Area since 1975. We understand exactly what works in Montara’s salt air, shifting clay soils, and microclimates—because we’ve completed over 5,000 projects dealing with these exact conditions.
From Silicon Valley executives to Montara families, our clients choose us because we deliver on our promises. Guaranteed start dates, guaranteed completion dates, and daily project updates aren’t just nice ideas—they’re how we’ve built our reputation over five decades.
We’re the team that shows up when we say we will, uses materials that actually last in coastal conditions, and stands behind every installation with the kind of service that turns first-time clients into lifelong advocates.
We start with an in-person consultation where we listen to your vision and assess your specific site challenges—drainage, soil conditions, and coastal exposure. Using our 3D design technology, you’ll see exactly how your finished project will look before we break ground.
Site preparation is where most contractors cut corners, but it’s where we shine. We properly address Montara’s clay soil conditions, install adequate drainage for coastal weather, and create the foundation that ensures your pavers won’t shift or settle over time.
Installation happens on schedule with daily updates and direct oversight from our experienced project manager. We don’t disappear for days at a time or leave you wondering what’s happening. The final walkthrough ensures every detail meets our standards and your expectations before we consider the job complete.

Our paver installation services cover everything from intimate garden pathways to expansive driveways, all designed to handle Montara’s coastal conditions. We use materials specifically rated for salt air exposure and install proper drainage systems that prevent the water damage common in coastal properties.
Every project includes comprehensive site preparation addressing the expansive clay soils typical in Bay Area properties, plus compliance with local permitting requirements that many contractors overlook. You get professional-grade materials, proper installation techniques, and the peace of mind that comes from working with a contractor who’s been serving coastal communities for 50 years.
Montara homeowners face unique challenges with ocean winds, salt air, and seasonal moisture changes that can wreak havoc on standard installations. Our approach accounts for these factors from material selection through final installation, ensuring your investment performs beautifully year after year.
Paver installation in Montara typically ranges from $17-30 per square foot, depending on materials, site conditions, and project complexity. Coastal properties often require additional drainage work and specialized materials for salt air resistance, which can affect pricing.
The investment varies based on your specific needs—a simple walkway costs less than a complex patio with drainage solutions. We provide detailed, transparent estimates that account for Montara’s unique coastal challenges, so you know exactly what you’re getting and why each element is necessary for long-term performance.
Pavers are 3-4 times stronger than standard concrete and handle Montara’s coastal conditions far better. When clay soils shift with seasonal moisture changes, pavers flex without cracking, while concrete slabs typically crack and require expensive replacement.
Individual pavers can be easily replaced if damaged by salt air or ground movement, making repairs simple and cost-effective. Concrete slabs, once cracked, often need complete replacement. For coastal properties dealing with salt exposure and soil movement, pavers provide superior long-term value and performance.
Most residential paver projects in Montara take 3-7 days, depending on size and complexity. We provide guaranteed start and completion dates—something rare in our industry—so you can plan accordingly without worrying about indefinite delays.
Coastal projects sometimes require additional time for proper drainage installation and soil preparation, which we factor into our timeline from the start. We provide daily updates throughout the process, so you always know exactly where we stand and when you’ll be enjoying your new outdoor space.
Quality pavers actually thrive in coastal conditions when properly installed. We select materials specifically rated for salt air exposure and use installation techniques that account for Montara’s unique challenges—ocean winds, seasonal moisture changes, and clay soils.
The key is proper preparation and material selection. We install adequate drainage to handle coastal weather, use salt-resistant materials, and create stable foundations that won’t shift with soil movement. This approach ensures your pavers maintain their appearance and structural integrity for decades, even in harsh coastal conditions.
Permit requirements in Montara depend on project scope and location. Simple patio installations often don’t require permits, but larger projects, drainage work, or installations near property lines typically do. We handle all permitting requirements as part of our comprehensive service.
Our 50 years of Bay Area experience means we understand local regulations and work directly with Montara’s building department when permits are required. This prevents delays and ensures your project meets all local codes from the start, protecting your investment and avoiding potential issues down the road.
We’ve been solving coastal hardscaping challenges in the Bay Area for 50 years, completing over 5,000 projects with guaranteed start and completion dates. Our experience with Montara’s specific conditions—salt air, clay soils, and coastal weather—means we know what works and what doesn’t.
