Prior to the paver installation process, we conduct pre-demolition evaluation to locate utilities like water, gas and electric lines to prevent any problems during installation. This is typically needed along areas where your home’s foundation protrudes into the space where pavers are being installed.
After the pre-demolition process takes place, demolition then starts, removing any existing hard-surface with a Bobcat machine, saw cutting and other demolition tools.
The process of laying the foundation includes excavation, grading (used to create necessary water flow away from a home) and compacting the sub-base using a plate compactor. This will help remove the air gaps
A Class II Road Base is then prepared at six inches for vehicular areas and four inches for pedestrian areas. After the base is set, it’s hosed down and compacted until a 95% compaction level is reached. Once compacted, a one inch layer of bedding sand laid down over the compacted road base.
After the area has been prepared and the foundation placed, a string grid is then laid out from your house and pavers laid according to the design plans.
After the area of pavers has been laid down, a border stone of the homeowner’s choice is then laid down around the perimeter of the pavers — each border piece is perfectly cut with a wet saw and placed back in their appropriate location.
After cutting the border pieces, we trench the area under the border stones and a concrete footing is poured into the trenches and the stones then tamped down into place. Once the concrete finishes drying, any excess concrete is removed.
After all the pavers have been laid, we use a plate compactor to compact all the pavers into the bedding sand beneath.
Joint sand is then used to interlock the stones at 1/4 inch on the stone. We then place further sand on top to fill the paver joints.
After filling the joints with sand, all excess debris and sand is hose off and a sealant (optional) is applied to prevent weeds from growing between the pavers.

Fair and Transparent Pricing
Like almost all paver installations, the price of driveway pavers is based on materials, square footage, materials, labor, company costs, and overhead. Higher-end materials cost more and are determined by which paver manufacturer you choose:
- Belgard pavers (least expensive)
- Basalite pavers
- Calstone pavers
- Techo – Bloc pavers (most expensive)

Driveway Paver Installation FAQs
Bay Area driveways need durable and stylish pavers. Natural stone adds timeless elegance, concrete pavers handle high traffic, and permeable options improve drainage. Each material is selected to match your home and practical needs.
A full driveway paver installation usually spans 2-3 weeks from start to finish. Our team handles everything from proper grading and drainage to precise installation around landscape features. Once complete, your driveway is immediately ready for entertaining and daily enjoyment.
Quality pavers installed properly can serve your driveway for generations. Our materials come with manufacturer guarantees against cracking and breaking. From family gatherings to everyday use, these pavers maintain their beauty and function.
It’s not recommended to lay pavers down on top of dirt. Instead a Class II Road Base (sub base) should be laid down under pavers. For vehicular areas we recommend six inches of compacted sub base and four inches for the pedestrian areas. One inch of bedding sand should then be laid down over the sub base.
Keeping your driveway pavers beautiful is surprisingly simple. Basic upkeep includes clearing debris and occasional cleaning to keep surfaces fresh. Our expert maintenance team helps protect your investment for years to come.
Start by visualizing how your driveway will be used. Consider parking needs, vehicle paths, and connections to walkways or landscaping. Our designers focus on creating practical layouts that fit your home’s style and enhance usability.
