What makes Paver Solutions different from other paver installers?

First, Paver Solutions is a division of Erickson Construction, a commercial general contracting company established in 1982.  The benefit of having your paver project installed by a general contractor is that all aspects of your project can and will be handled by our company.

Second, Paver Solutions is an ICPI (interlocking concrete paver institute) certified installer.  ICPI is the only specific standard of paver installation in the country.  This certification means the installer has been trained on the proper installation procedures, ensuring a quality installation.  Paver Solutions will follow all ICPI guidelines on your installation.

Lastly, Paver Solutions is financially stable and will be there to warrant our work.  Paver Solutions will be here today and tomorrow.  The peace of mind of dealing with a legitimate company is apparent when you visit our beautiful showroom.

How are they installed?

For a driveway application, the existing driveway is removed and graded to the proper depth. Crushed concrete base is installed at a depth of 4-6”.  The base is compacted to proper density.  A layer of bedding sand is installed at a nominal thickness of  5″ – 1″ and screeded level.

The pavers are installed in the selected pattern and bordered.  A poured concrete edge restraint is installed to retain the pavers from shifting.  Joint sand is spread over the top of the pavers and vibratory compacted into the paver joints.  It is then swept clean and all concrete debris is removed from the site.

How long will my installation take?

Once your order is paced, the job will typically be ready for installation within a couple of weeks.  However, the time frame can vary depending on the selected products.  Once the materials are on site most installations are completed within 7-10 days.

Should I use thick or thin pavers?

The thickness of pavers is determined by the use of the paver and the underlayment.  30mm pavers “thins” are used for pedestrian traffic only and are only installed on a concrete foundation.  60mm pavers “thicks” are used for vehicular traffic or when a concrete foundation is not present. Thin pavers should NEVER be used on driveways.

Will weeds grow up through the pavers?

When pavers are properly installed over 4-6” of compacted base, it is impossible for anything to grow up through the pavers.  When weeds are present in a paver driveway, it is usually caused by a broken or improperly installed edge restraint.  The edge restraint holds the pavers in place and doesn’t allow for spreading.

Should the pavers be sealed?

Sealing pavers offers several benefits.  The pavers will have a better overall appearance, they will be stain resistant, and sealer will stabilize the joint sand to prevent weed growth.  Though it is not a requirement, we suggest sealing pavers on all jobs.

What is the warranty?

Paver Solutions is the only company with a lifetime warranty maintenance program.  We will annually inspect your project and make repairs in agreement with a maintenance contract.  Our standard warranty is (2) years on workmanship.  Most manufacturers warrant their material from ten to twenty years on the structural integrity of the pavers.

What are the payment options?

You may pay by check or credit card.  We accept Visa and MasterCard.
