Paver Patio Installation Process

How We Install Pavers Right

First, we excavate to the proper depth and grade for drainage. This matters more in Elmont than most places because of our clay soil and seasonal water issues.

Next, we install the base layer using Class II road base, properly compacted. This is where most contractors cut corners, but it’s what determines whether your pavers stay level or sink and shift over time.

Then we lay your pavers with precise spacing and alignment, followed by joint sand and sealing if requested. The whole process typically takes 3-5 days depending on size, and we clean up completely each day.

What Your Installation Includes

Every paver installation includes proper excavation, base preparation, and precise installation of your chosen pavers. We use Cambridge pavers and other premium materials that handle Nassau County’s weather extremes.

You’ll get pavers that drain properly – crucial for Elmont’s clay soil conditions. We ensure proper slope and base preparation so water moves away from your home and doesn’t pool on your new patio.

Most installations include basic edging and joint sand. Sealing is available as an add-on service that protects against stains and enhances color, though it’s not required for structural integrity.

How much does paver installation cost in Elmont, NY?

Paver installation in Nassau County typically runs $12-30 per square foot, depending on the paver type and site conditions. A standard 12×12 patio usually costs $1,400-$2,500 installed. The price depends on excavation needs, base requirements, and paver selection. Elmont’s clay soil sometimes requires extra base work, which affects cost. We provide detailed estimates that break down material and labor costs so you know exactly what you’re paying for. Complex patterns or premium materials like natural stone increase costs, while basic concrete pavers keep prices more affordable.

What's the best paver material for Long Island weather?

Cambridge pavers perform exceptionally well in Nassau County’s freeze-thaw cycles. They’re manufactured to withstand temperature changes without cracking or shifting. Concrete pavers offer the best balance of durability and cost for most homeowners. They handle our winters better than natural stone and cost less to replace if individual pavers get damaged. Brick pavers work well too, though they’re more expensive and offer fewer color options. Natural stone looks beautiful but requires more maintenance and costs significantly more upfront.

How long do paver patios last in Elmont?

Properly installed paver patios last 25-50 years in our climate. The key is proper base preparation and drainage, which prevent settling and frost heave. Most paver failures happen because of poor base work, not the pavers themselves. When we excavate to proper depth and use correct base materials, your installation stays level and stable through decades of Long Island weather. Individual pavers can be replaced if damaged, which is impossible with concrete slabs. This means your patio can essentially last indefinitely with minimal maintenance.

Do I need to seal my pavers after installation?

Sealing isn’t required for structural integrity, but it protects against stains and enhances color. Most Elmont homeowners choose sealing because it makes maintenance easier. Sealed pavers resist oil stains from grills and cars, and they’re easier to clean. The sealer also prevents weeds from growing in joints and reduces fading from UV exposure. We recommend sealing every 2-3 years for best results. It’s an optional service that adds cost but saves time on maintenance and keeps your investment looking new longer.

Can you install pavers over existing concrete?

We can install pavers over existing concrete if it’s level, stable, and properly draining. However, this approach has limitations and isn’t always the best solution. The existing concrete must be in good condition without major cracks or settling. We also need to ensure proper drainage, which can be challenging when building on top of existing surfaces. Most of the time, removing old concrete and starting fresh gives better long-term results. It allows proper base preparation and ensures your new pavers will last decades rather than failing prematurely.

How do I maintain my paver patio?

Paver maintenance is minimal compared to other outdoor surfaces. Regular sweeping and occasional power washing keep them looking good. Weeds between pavers can be controlled with polymeric sand or periodic weed killer application. If individual pavers get stained, they can be cleaned with appropriate cleaners or replaced entirely. Resealing every 2-3 years maintains stain resistance and color. Overall, pavers require less maintenance than wood decks or concrete patios while lasting much longer.
