Paver Walkways & Driveways

When it comes to walkways and driveways, pavers offer major advantages over poured concrete. Concrete cracks, stains, and looks dated within a few years. Pavers stay beautiful for decades and rarely crack because they flex with ground movement instead of fighting it. If you ever need to access underground utilities, we can lift pavers, do the work, and put them back without leaving an ugly patch.

Homeowners throughout Rancho Cucamonga choose pavers for their durability and visual appeal. A well-designed paver walkway creates an inviting entrance to your home. A paver driveway adds serious curb appeal and can increase your property value by thousands of dollars. Unlike asphalt that needs frequent sealing and repaving, pavers require minimal maintenance and last 30 to 50 years or more.

You have endless design possibilities with pavers. Mix colors to create borders or patterns. Use different sizes to add visual interest. Create curves and flowing lines that concrete cannot match. The versatility of pavers lets us design walkways and driveways that truly complement your home architecture and landscape. We handle everything from simple straight walkways to elaborate driveway designs with multiple colors and patterns.

The secret to pavers that last decades is proper base preparation. We excavate to the right depth, typically six to eight inches for walkways and eight to twelve inches for driveways. Then we install layers of compacted gravel and sand. Each layer gets thoroughly compacted with professional equipment. This creates a stable base that prevents settling and keeps your pavers level.

Next comes edge restraints that hold everything in place. Without proper edging, pavers can shift and separate over time. We use commercial-grade plastic or aluminum edging that is strong but invisible once installation is complete. Then we carefully lay each paver according to your chosen pattern. We cut pavers as needed to fit curves, borders, and transitions.

The final step involves sweeping polymeric sand into all the joints. This special sand hardens when wet, locking pavers together and preventing weeds from growing between them. We clean excess sand from the surface and apply sealant if requested. Sealant enhances color and provides extra stain protection, though it is optional for most projects.

Installation time depends on project size and complexity. A simple front walkway might take two days. A large driveway with borders and patterns can take a week or more. We work efficiently while maintaining the quality that has made us one of the top masonry contractors in Rancho Cucamonga. Just like our custom patio work and retaining wall installations, we do it right the first time.
