Our paver installation services cover every aspect of your outdoor transformation. From elegant patios and stunning driveways to functional walkways and garden paths, we handle projects of all sizes with the same attention to detail and commitment to excellence.
Lexington Hills’ unique location in the Santa Cruz Mountains presents specific challenges that we’ve mastered over decades of local work. The area’s seismic activity requires specialized base preparation, while the Mediterranean climate demands materials and installation techniques that handle temperature variations and seasonal weather patterns.
We source premium materials from top manufacturers like Belgard, MSI, and Techno-Block, offering hundreds of styles, textures, and colors. Whether you prefer the timeless elegance of brick pavers, the modern appeal of large-format concrete, or the natural beauty of stone textures, we’ll match materials to your home’s architecture and your personal style. Every installation includes comprehensive warranties covering both materials and workmanship, plus the manufacturer’s lifetime guarantee against cracking and breaking.
Professionally installed pavers typically last 50-100 years or longer when properly installed with appropriate base preparation. In Lexington Hills, we use enhanced construction techniques including 8-inch deep stone bases and geotextile fabric to accommodate the area’s seismic activity and ensure maximum longevity.
The key to paver durability lies in the foundation work that most homeowners never see. We excavate to proper depths, install compacted aggregate base layers, and use bedding sand that creates the perfect foundation for your pavers. This meticulous preparation, combined with high-quality materials from leading manufacturers, means your investment will look beautiful and perform flawlessly for decades.
Unlike concrete that cracks and requires expensive replacement, individual pavers can be easily replaced if ever damaged. This modular design means your outdoor space maintains its appearance and functionality throughout its extended lifespan.
Pavers are inherently more earthquake-resistant than solid concrete surfaces due to their flexible, interlocking design. The joint sand between pavers allows for movement during seismic activity, preventing the catastrophic cracking that often occurs with rigid concrete slabs.
In the Bay Area, we enhance this natural earthquake resistance by increasing our stone base depth from the standard 4 inches to 8 inches deep. We also incorporate geotextile fabric throughout the base system to minimize shifting and settling during ground movement. This specialized construction technique has proven effective through decades of Bay Area installations.
The individual paver system distributes stress across the entire surface rather than concentrating it at weak points like concrete does. Even if ground movement does occur, any displaced pavers can be easily reset without reconstructing the entire surface, making maintenance both simple and cost-effective.
Paver installation costs vary significantly based on project size, material selection, site conditions, and design complexity. For a typical 400 square foot patio in Lexington Hills, costs generally range from $8,000 to $20,000, while driveway projects typically start around $15,000 and can exceed $40,000 for premium materials and complex designs.
The investment reflects the quality of materials, specialized Bay Area construction techniques, and professional installation that ensures decades of performance. Premium materials like natural stone or large-format porcelain pavers cost more upfront but provide superior aesthetics and longevity that justify the investment in high-value properties.
We provide detailed, transparent estimates that break down material costs, labor, base preparation, and any site-specific requirements. Every estimate includes our comprehensive warranty coverage and guaranteed timeline, so you know exactly what you’re investing in and when your project will be completed.
Professional paver installation delivers dramatically different results than DIY approaches, particularly in the Bay Area where seismic and drainage requirements are critical. The most significant difference lies in base preparation—we excavate to proper depths, install engineered aggregate bases, and use specialized compaction equipment that ensures long-term stability.
DIY installations often fail within a few years due to inadequate base preparation, improper drainage, and lack of understanding about local soil conditions. In Lexington Hills, where property values are substantial, installation mistakes can be extremely costly to correct and may actually decrease property value rather than enhance it.
Professional installation includes access to commercial-grade materials, specialized tools like plate compactors and wet saws, and expertise in pattern layout, edge restraints, and finishing techniques. We also handle permits, understand local building codes, and provide warranties that protect your investment. The peace of mind and guaranteed results make professional installation the smart choice for valuable properties.
Choosing the right paver material depends on your home’s architectural style, your aesthetic preferences, intended use, and budget parameters. For Lexington Hills’ mix of contemporary and traditional homes, we often recommend materials that complement the area’s natural setting while providing the durability needed for California’s climate variations.
Concrete pavers offer the widest range of colors, textures, and patterns, making them ideal for homeowners who want design flexibility and cost-effectiveness. Natural stone pavers like travertine or bluestone provide timeless elegance that works beautifully with the area’s Mediterranean climate and upscale properties. Brick pavers deliver classic appeal that complements both traditional and modern architecture.
During our consultation, we’ll assess your home’s style, discuss your lifestyle needs, and show you samples of different materials in various lighting conditions. We consider factors like slip resistance for pool areas, stain resistance for entertaining spaces, and color stability for areas with direct sun exposure. Our goal is matching materials that enhance your property’s unique character while providing the performance characteristics you need.
Properly installed pavers require minimal maintenance, especially when compared to other hardscaping materials. In the Bay Area’s Mediterranean climate, basic maintenance involves periodic cleaning, occasional joint sand replenishment, and optional sealing every 2-3 years to enhance color and provide stain protection.
Regular maintenance includes sweeping debris from the surface and rinsing with water to prevent buildup of organic matter that can promote weed growth or staining. The polymeric sand we use in joints helps prevent weed growth and ant infiltration while maintaining the structural integrity of your paver system.
For areas with heavy use or exposure to oil stains, periodic professional cleaning and sealing maintains the pavers’ appearance and extends their lifespan. If individual pavers ever become damaged or stained beyond cleaning, they can be easily replaced without disturbing the surrounding area—a major advantage over concrete surfaces that require extensive repairs for even minor damage.
