20 years of experience doing flat concrete work but is not limited to just that. I do pavers patios and retaining walls as well. Today contractors need to be versatile. In the past with a larger crews we tackled gas station and restaurant combos, massive pole buildings, large landscape jobs, huge driveways and yes, even stamped colored concrete! Recently I have started doing egress window wells where cutting the hole in the foundation and installing the window is all included. I have worked with my father for 20 years off and on and he is nearing retirement and I amlooking to stay closer to home doing the same work. Give me a call and I would be happy to meet with you to see if I could be a part of your project!

Pavers and Hardscaping questions, answered by experts

Yes, you should lightly wet the sand with a hose before laying the pavers on top. This activates the bonding agents in the sand, ensuring that your pavers don’t shift around during the installation process. However, you should make sure that the sand is not soaked; overwatering can cause the sand and pavers to not set properly.

You can put pavers over concrete following a similar procedure as above, but there are a few additional risks you need to be aware of—like stability, drainage, and the patio’s thickness. Once you lay a paver patio over concrete, it will be nearly impossible to treat any issues that your concrete may face, like cracks or water pooling. So while you may save some time and money on concrete removal and site prep, it may cost you more in the long run.

You should place a layer of thick landscaping fabric directly over the concrete slab and then a thin layer of leveling sand over that to protect the pavers from moisture. For border pavers, you should plan on locking them in place with polyurethane adhesive. This will prevent them from shifting under foot traffic.

Driveways should be sloped with a minimum 2% slope—anything lower will cause precipitation and runoff to collect. A 2% slope is the equivalent of a 2-foot rise over 100 feet. One quick way to check the integrity of your driveway’s slope: no more than four inches of water should collect on the surface longer than 15 minutes after rain.

Pavers come in diverse shapes, colors, and patterns, allowing for varied creative designs, including contemporary or traditional layouts personalized to taste.
