You’re looking at your driveway, patio, or walkway and seeing wasted potential. Maybe it’s cracked concrete that screams “1990s” or basic hardscaping that does nothing for your million-dollar view.
Here’s what changes when you get this right: Your neighbors notice. Your property value reflects the quality you’ve invested in. You actually want to spend time in your outdoor spaces instead of avoiding them.
The difference isn’t just visual—it’s functional. Proper paver installation means no more standing water, no more uneven surfaces that catch your heel, and no more weekend repairs that eat into your actual free time.
We’ve been transforming Bay Area properties since 1975—back when Pasatiempo was still finding its rhythm as the premium community it is today. Three generations of family ownership means we understand something most contractors miss: this isn’t just about laying pavers.
It’s about respecting the architectural heritage that makes Pasatiempo special. Those 1930s and 40s homes with their mature landscaping and generous lots require a different approach than cookie-cutter subdivisions.
We know your HOA’s Design Review Committee requirements before you do. We understand why your neighbor chose travertine over concrete, and we can tell you which materials will still look stunning in Pasatiempo’s coastal climate twenty years from now.
It starts with us actually listening—not measuring and quoting in fifteen minutes like most contractors. We want to understand how you use your outdoor space, what drives you crazy about your current setup, and what you’re hoping to achieve.
Then comes the part that sets us apart: 3D and CAD modeling that shows you exactly what you’re getting before we break ground. No more hoping the finished project matches what you imagined. You’ll see it, approve it, and know it’s right.
We handle your HOA submission because we know what the Design Review Committee expects. We provide guaranteed start and completion dates—something almost unheard of in this industry. And throughout the project, you get daily updates so you’re never wondering what’s happening or when you’ll have your space back.

This isn’t just about installing pavers—it’s about creating outdoor spaces that work with Pasatiempo’s unique character. Your large lot size means opportunities for multiple zones: entertaining areas, quiet garden paths, dramatic driveway approaches that complement your home’s architecture.
We source materials that make sense for the Bay Area climate. Permeable pavers that handle our rainy seasons without creating drainage nightmares. Textured surfaces that provide slip resistance around pools and high-traffic areas. Natural stone and concrete options that age beautifully in coastal conditions.
Every installation includes proper base preparation—six inches for driveways, four inches for pedestrian areas—because shortcuts show up as problems later. We use polymeric sand that acts like flexible grout, keeping your surface stable while allowing for natural movement. The result is a hardscape that looks better five years from now than most look on installation day.
Most paver installations in Pasatiempo take 3-7 days depending on the project scope and size. A typical driveway runs 4-5 days, while a patio usually takes 2-3 days.
The timeline includes proper base preparation, which can’t be rushed—this is what separates installations that last decades from ones that start settling within a few years. Weather can add a day or two during rainy periods, but we provide guaranteed start and completion dates so you can plan accordingly.
Unlike many contractors who give vague “sometime next week” estimates, we commit to specific dates because we understand you’re coordinating around our work schedule.
Yes, all exterior modifications in Pasatiempo require Design Review Committee approval before work begins, including paver installations. This applies even if you’re replacing existing hardscaping with similar materials.
The good news is we handle this process for you. After 50 years in the Bay Area, we know exactly what the committee expects: detailed plans showing materials, colors, drainage solutions, and how the new installation harmonizes with existing architecture.
We submit complete applications well ahead of the monthly board meetings, so approval doesn’t delay your project. Most straightforward paver installations get approved at the first review, especially when the application demonstrates understanding of Pasatiempo’s architectural standards.
Natural stone pavers like travertine and bluestone perform exceptionally well in Pasatiempo’s coastal climate, offering durability and timeless appeal that complements the area’s architectural heritage. Concrete pavers are also excellent choices, providing more design flexibility and color options while maintaining long-term performance.
For areas with drainage concerns, permeable pavers are increasingly popular—they handle our rainy seasons beautifully while preventing water runoff issues. Textured surfaces work well around pools and high-traffic areas, providing slip resistance without sacrificing aesthetics.
The key is matching material choice to your specific application and long-term maintenance preferences. We’ll walk you through options that make sense for your particular site conditions and design goals.
Quality paver installations typically add 8-15% to property value in Pasatiempo, with premium materials and expert installation providing the highest returns. Given the area’s $1.5-3.5 million home values, this represents substantial equity enhancement.
The key is choosing installations that complement Pasatiempo’s architectural character rather than fighting against it. Driveways that enhance curb appeal, patios that create functional outdoor living spaces, and walkways that connect beautifully with existing landscaping all contribute to overall property desirability.
Poor installations can actually hurt property values, which is why choosing experienced contractors who understand Pasatiempo’s standards is crucial. Quality work becomes a selling point; substandard work becomes something future buyers want to replace.
We provide comprehensive warranties covering both materials and installation workmanship. Material warranties vary by manufacturer but typically range from 15-25 years for premium pavers. Installation warranties cover settling, shifting, and structural issues for a minimum of 5 years.
The warranty includes proper base preparation, drainage solutions, and polymeric sand installation—the foundation elements that determine long-term performance. If pavers settle or shift due to installation issues, we’ll return to correct the problem at no charge.
What sets our warranty apart is the company stability to honor it. Fifty years in business means we’ll be here when you need service, unlike fly-by-night contractors who disappear after a few seasons.
Absolutely—matching existing materials is one of our specialties, especially important in Pasatiempo where many homes have established hardscaping that works beautifully with the architecture. We maintain relationships with suppliers who can source discontinued materials or provide extremely close matches.
For projects where exact matching isn’t possible, we’ll design transitions that look intentional rather than mismatched. Sometimes this means creating borders or accent patterns that tie old and new materials together seamlessly.
Our 3D modeling technology lets you see how new installations will integrate with existing features before making final decisions. This is particularly valuable in Pasatiempo where maintaining architectural harmony is essential for both aesthetics and property values.
