Philadelphia Paver Installation & Design
Pavers are a good choice for hardscaping projects because they are versatile and have long term durability. The upkeep isn't too difficult either. General maintenance includes cleaning with a coarse-bristle broom each Spring and resealing every 3–5 years. Pavers come in a wide variety of colors, textures, and materials making them ideal for building your outdoor space.
Paver installation is a property upgrade with a great return on investment. Our expert team will go over the material options with you and discuss the pros and cons of each. You can choose from manufactured (which include concrete pavers and brick pavers) or natural stone. Your landscape, personal style, needs and budget will help inform our design strategy.
Manufactured pavers are usually less expensive and will have a more consistent look throughout the flooring. Natural stone has a little more character because each paver is unique, a feature many find desirable. Also, natural stone is super resistant and holds up against heavy foot traffic and weather better than concrete.

Looking for ideas for your patio installation project? Check out some of our more popular patio material choices below.
Natural Flagstone Patios
These thin, flat paving stones are durable, non-slip, and come in various shapes, sizes, and colors. You can also go with irregular shapes that fit together like a puzzle for a totally unique look.
Thermal Flagstone Patios
When these stones go through production, they go through extreme temperature variation. This specialized process gives them a distinct dimpled texture that's smoother than natural flagstone.
Stamped Concrete Patios
Both versatile and adaptable, concrete lends itself to nearly any shape you could imagine. With a stamped and sealed finish you will be able to mimic the look of more expensive materials at a fraction of the cost. Choose this option for an affordable patio area that is easy to maintain.
Paver Walkway Design & Installation in Philadelphia
Custom paver walkways are an aesthetically pleasing way to connect the areas of your outdoor space. This unifying element ties everything together and helps with the shape and definition of your landscape. Pavers come in a wide variety of price ranges, making them fit almost any budget. And because pavers are built to last, they may turn out to be cheaper in the long run.
Maintenance is fairly low, with only a few things to worry about. Generally, they only require periodic sweeping and power washing as needed. If you choose to seal them to protect color vibrancy, you must reseal them every 3–5 years. Finally, if the grout becomes loose or starts to degrade, you may need to replace it every 10 years or so.
Terrace and Pergola Installation & Design
If you are looking for an outdoor living room that looks bougie without breaking the bank, a pergola-topped terrace is for you. Pergolas are a classy way to give shade and definition to your outdoor space. The best part is you can decorate them any way you'd like to make the space truly unique. Add fabrics, hanging lights, or climbing ivy to create a look that will be the envy of the neighborhood.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
Yes, you can lay pavers over dirt, but it's important to properly prepare the ground first.
Typically, we excavate the area to create a suitable depth. Then we compact the soil with a plate compactor or hand tamper. With the ground level, we add a paver base like crushed stone for stability. Depending on the project, we may add paver edging after laying the pavers.
-
Paver costs can vary depending on factors like material, design, and installation complexity. While initial costs may be higher than concrete, pavers often offer long-term savings due to their durability, ease of repair, and aesthetic appeal.
-
Flagstone comes in a variety of colors, including gray, brown, red, blue, and green. The color of flagstone can also vary within the same stone type, offering a range of hues and tones to choose from.
-
Stamped concrete is a decorative technique we use to create patterns and textures by stamping freshly poured concrete. It replicates the look of materials such as brick, stone, or tile.
-
Using the wrong sealer can make stamped concrete slippery, especially when wet. That is why we advise applying a non-slip sealer or adding texture to the surface during installation. Regular cleaning and maintenance also help to reduce slipperiness over time.
-
The lifespan of stamped concrete varies depending on factors such as installation quality, climate, and maintenance. Stamped concrete can last for decades if taken care of properly and sealed on a regular basis.

Pergolas enhance outdoor living spaces by providing shade, architectural interest, and a framework for climbing plants. They create a defined space for relaxation, dining, and entertainment while allowing airflow and natural light. They can also add visual appeal and value to a property.
