Expert Paver Installation for Lasting Outdoor Spaces
Serving McKinney & Surrounding Areas
Our Paver Installation Process
Built on solid foundations and precise craftsmanship
Every project begins with a detailed site evaluation, precise measurements, and layout planning to ensure proper grading and water management. We carefully mark utilities, protect adjacent surfaces, and excavate to the correct depth based on use, soil conditions, and load requirements. A geotextile stabilization fabric is used where needed to separate subgrade from base. We install a layered base of angular, crushed stone compacted in lifts to industry standards, and we set consistent slopes (1–2%) away from structures for dependable drainage.
A laser-screeded bedding layer is installed at a true 1-inch depth using concrete sand or an open-graded setting bed for permeable systems. Pavers are laid in the selected pattern with tight joints and precision cuts made on a wet saw for clean edges. Edge restraints are anchored with spikes every 10–12 inches to lock the field in place. We vibrate in polymeric joint sand, activate it to harden, and perform a final clean. Sealing is available, and every project concludes with a quality walk-through.
Certified installers, premium materials, and clear communication
Our team follows proven ICPI/NCMA best practices and uses manufacturer-backed systems for strength, durability, and aesthetics. We specify ASTM-rated pavers appropriate for the application—60mm for patios and walkways, 80mm for driveways—ensuring performance under foot and vehicular loads. You’ll receive workmanship warranties, and we’re fully licensed and insured for peace of mind.
We provide transparent proposals, clear timelines, and attentive project management from start to finish. Job sites are kept safe and orderly with dust control, protected landscaping, and daily cleanup. We prioritize drainage details to protect foundations and hardscapes, and we offer post-install support with maintenance guidance so your investment continues to look its best.
From timeless styles to modern performance features
Choose from concrete, tumbled, textured, permeable, porcelain, or natural stone pavers in a wide range of colors and finishes. Elevate designs with borders, banding, inlays, and contrasting accents. We also provide steps and wall caps, bullnose coping for edges, and integrated lighting for safety and ambiance.
Common applications include patios, walkways, pool decks, courtyards, and driveways. We can integrate outdoor kitchens, seating walls, and planters for a cohesive living space. Transitions to turf, planters, and door thresholds are engineered for smooth movement and proper water flow using subtle grading, channel drains, or permeable base assemblies.
For long-term performance, we recommend a maintenance plan that includes periodic cleaning, joint sand inspection, and resealing on the appropriate schedule. Modular pavers allow efficient repairs—individual units can be lifted and reset without visible patches. We’ll provide care tips tailored to your materials and site conditions.
