Paver Walkways & Driveways

Curb appeal that stands up to cars, snow plows and salt.

OverviewHow we do itCare tipsQuestionsFAQ
Overview

What it is, and why it matters

A paver walkway or driveway is the first thing people see. Built right, it handles NJ winters, plows and salt far better than poured concrete or asphalt, and damaged sections can be repaired invisibly.

Driveways carry cars, so they need a deeper base than patios or walks.

The process

Exactly how we do it

Every step, so you know what you’re getting and why it’s done that way.

  1. 01

    Remove the old surface

    Existing concrete, asphalt or pavers broken up and hauled away.

  2. 02

    Excavate to depth

    About 6 to 8 inches for walkways and 10 to 14 inches for driveways.

  3. 03

    Compact a stone base

    Dense-graded stone compacted in layers: about 4 to 6 inches for walks, 8 to 12 inches for driveways.

  4. 04

    Set pavers and edging

    Bedding sand screeded, pavers laid in a strong interlocking pattern (herringbone for driveways), and edge restraints installed.

  5. 05

    Compact and sand

    Plate-compacted and filled with polymeric sand to lock the joints.

The labor & equipment

A 3 to 5-person crew with an excavator, compactor and saws. A walkway takes 1 to 3 days; a driveway 4 to 8 days.

Care tips

How to get the most out of it

Simple things you can do between visits, including how and when to water.

Snow plows and pavers

Pavers handle plowing well; a plow shoe or rubber edge prevents scraping.

Ice melt

Most standard ice melts are fine on pavers; avoid ammonium-based products.

Oil drips

Clean oil and fluid drips from driveways promptly with a degreaser.

Common questions about walkways & driveways

Pavers vs asphalt vs concrete for a driveway?

Asphalt is cheapest but needs sealing and cracks in a few years. Concrete cracks with freeze-thaw and road salt. Pavers cost more up front but flex, resist salt, and can be repaired one piece at a time.

Why herringbone for driveways?

The interlocking zigzag spreads the weight of turning tires and keeps pavers from shifting.

FAQ

Working with us

Can pavers be plowed?

Yes. Properly installed pavers handle snow plows; we recommend a plow shoe or polyurethane edge.
