"Ryan and his crew were amazing. The entire crew were polite, respectful and truly cared about us and the job. They payed attention to every detail no matter the size of the job. Before calling quality paving my husband and I called some of the larger companies that had been in business for twenty plus years and some never returned our call, one company even drove right by us as he turned the corner. We called him and never received a return call. Quality Paving is the company to call for your job. Ryan has the experience and equipment to complete any size job. Ryan is affordable, honest, caring respectful and truly cares about his customers and his employees. I wouldnâ t hesitate to refer Ryan @ Quality Paving LLC to any family or friends!!!! Thanks again Ryan & Crew."
"I recently had the pleasure of meeting & working with Eric Jeffrey, owner of EPK Construction to have my driveway paved. Upon consultation, he explained the process, and his use of high quality, superior products. Mr. Jeffrey and his crew completed the job in his estimated time. He remained at the job site throughout the completion of the job, his crew members were respectful of my property and courteous. Mr. Jeffrey answered my many questions with knowledge and professionalism. I am very pleased with my choice of hiring EPK Construction Services. I interviewed 5 companies in total and EPK Construction Service, clearly was my first choice with Mr. Jeffrey's professionalism, knowledge, and a VERY FAIR PRICE ! I am a very pleased, satisfied customer."
"Beausoleil Paving made what I thought would be a hard job, look very easy. Quality work, very reasonable pricing, and a finished driveway which gives me a feeling of pride every time I see it. Highly recommended!"
"Andrew and his team did an exceptional job enhancing the concrete deck around our pool. They also repaired damage to our driveway that had been left by another concrete contractor. From start to finish, Andrew’s communication was outstanding—he kept us informed before, during, and after the project. Most importantly, Andrew is honest, stands behind his work, and delivers on what he promises. If you’re looking for a reliable, high-quality contractor, I highly recommend hiring Andrew and his team. You won’t regret it."
"I used Bill’s Paving to replace my 42 year old asphalt driveway on June 19th. I called asking for an estimate and he came the next day. Personally I like to meet the people I’m hiring in person to get a feeling for them. Of the three contractors I called the others wanted to do estimate over the phone. They also took 3 days to respond. Bill’s price was competitive but the service was outstanding. Bill and his sons were prompt, courteous, and knowledgeable. And they have all sorts of machinery. And did all the dig safe requirements. They have greatly improved the curb appeal of my home. I would certainly call them if you’re looking for a paving company. My wife and I are thrilled we did."
"Valter was very professional and prompt. Company response time is excellent. I had a concrete walkway repair that was done in a reasonable time and exactly as quoted. I would hire Valter again for other masonry work."
It is possible to DIY complete hardscaping projects, but in most cases, hiring a professional is best to get the job done correctly. Hardscaping—including installing patios, decks, retaining walls, walkways, and water features—is challenging and time-consuming, so the money you spend on a professional is typically worth it. Not only will the quality be better, but you could avoid problems that come along with a lack of hardscaping experience, like drainage issues that can lead to costly foundation damage and leaks in your home.
The layer of polymeric sand under the pavers plus the polymeric sand that gets swept into the joints between your pavers holds them in place in a few ways. For one, the gritty texture of the sand helps lock the pavers together. Polymeric sand also contains bonding agents that get activated by water. Polymeric sand will take between 24 and 48 hours to fully cure, so do not walk on your paver walkway before this time.
Interlocking pavers offer a number of advantages over regular pavers. For instance, they’re more durable, more resistant to shifting, and easier to repair. There are also permeable options that allow for drainage. However, interlocking pavers are more often more expensive than regular pavers and are prone to growing weeds over time.
Generally speaking, tiles are for indoor use, while pavers are for outdoor use. The main difference between travertine tiles and pavers is their thickness. Tiles are around 1/2 inch thick, and pavers are 1 1/4 inches to 2 inches thick.
Pavers are more rugged and can handle different weather. The extra thickness on pavers also makes them ideal for high-traffic areas.
The recommended minimum amount for a paver base is 4 inches. From there, it depends on the kind of traffic the pavers will see and the current soil conditions. Two inches of paver base won’t create the amount of stability and support that pavers need to remain securely in place over time.
