Pavers

All About Pavers

Pavers are a commonly used hardscaping material because of their versatility in design and material and are extremely durable. We work with a variety of styles of pavers to ensure different options when designing your outdoor space. Pavers are used to create driveways, porches, walking paths, patios, and pool decks and can be configured into a wide variety of designs. Our team of masonry contractors are highly skilled in installing all types of pavers to ensure a visually stunning final result that we are both proud of. 

Pavers are highly versatile.  They are available in a variety of colors, shapes, and sizes. They can be installed linearly or in an interlocking design, depending on your space and material choice. We can help guide what type of paver material will be best based on your specific aesthetic and functional requirements for the project. Some common designs we have experience with include herringbone, basket weave, and circular patterns. The design of the pavers helps create a flow and overall functional purpose to your space as well. Pavers are also known for their durability and unique ability to handle heavy loads and harsh weather conditions, making them excellent materials to be used in outdoor living spaces. Pavers are highly resistant to cracking and can usually be easily replaced if an individual piece becomes damaged. 

Concrete Pavers

Concrete pavers are the most common type of paver and are widely used for various outdoor projects. Concrete is a mixture of cement and aggregates such as sand or gravel, mixed with color pigments and water. This material is poured into molds and cured to create finished pavers, which is what allows them to come in a variety of shapes and sizes. Most common shapes include squares, rectangles, and interlocking designs that allow for creative and customized installation. We can create different finishes on the surface including smooth or textured, depending if you prefer a sleek and polished or more rustic appearance. A plus of concrete pavers is that they tend to be more resistant to cracks than traditionally poured concrete surfaces. Concrete pavers tend to be a one of the more affordable pavers options and are relatively low maintenance. We install concrete pavers to driveways, walkways, patios, and commercial properties such as outdoor seating areas and pathways to help give a stable base for your landscaping design. We ensure long-lasting, durable and visually appealing results. 

Brick Pavers

Brick pavers are made from clay and provide a rustic and timeless look. They are durable and can handle heavy loads, making them a great option for driveways, walkways and patios. Brick is made from clay fired at high temperatures, which results in a durable and dense material with natural variations in color and texture. Different colors are available from white, gray, tan, black, and brown to the classic red brick. Brick pavers come in different shapes and sizes including rectangles, squares and octagons that can be arranged in different patterns to create a unique look. Brick is highly durable and doesn’t crack when frozen, making it a suitable choice for harsh Pittsburgh winters. Brick pavers allow for water to pass through promoting better drainage, which can be advantageous where sitting water or runoff may be a concern. Brick pavers are low maintenance though may benefit from being sealed intermittently to maximize longevity. Brick pavers are an excellent option for your patio, driveway, or landscaping project. Trust our team of contractors to install your brick pavers efficiently, affordably and expertly. 

Stone Pavers

Natural stone pavers are made of materials like granite, limestone, and slate. Their organic looks provide a unique and elegant appearance as each material type has its own characteristics and feel. Natural stone is known for being durable and able to withstand harsh weather conditions, making it great for a variety of outdoor applications. Stone pavers have different finish options available which alter the final look. For example, a honed finish provides a smooth surface whereas a tumbled finish creates a more rustic look. The different stones come in varying colors and patterns, and all have slight natural variations, which contribute to the overall visual look that cannot be recreated by manmade materials. One benefit of natural stone pavers compared to concrete and brick is that it has a level of thermal resistance, making it comfortable to walk on in hot temperatures. This makes natural stone pavers a good option for spaces outdoor that are in direct sunlight. Stone pavers make beautiful components of walkways, pathways, seating areas and patios due to their natural appearance and feel.
