New Paver Installs That Actually Last
You know that feeling when you pull into your driveway and cringe? Maybe it’s the cracks spreading across your concrete, or just the boring gray that makes your home look dated. We’ve helped countless homeowners and businesses alike in Reno and Sparks who called us after years of dealing with surfaces that didn’t cut it.
Paver installation isn’t just laying down pretty stones. The best paver contractors know that what’s underneath makes or breaks the project. When homeowners research paver companies in the Reno area, they’re either building new and want it done right, or they’re tired of surfaces that crack and settle.
From Driveways to Pool Decks – We Do It All
We’ve installed pavers just about everywhere you can imagine, from front driveways that make neighbors stop and stare to backyard patios where families actually want to hang out. Every project is different, and honestly, that’s what keeps this work interesting for us.
Driveway Pavers That Handle Reno Weather
Driveway pavers transform your home’s appearance instantly. We’ve installed driveways from older UNR neighborhoods to new Sparks developments, and the difference is always dramatic.
Driveway paver installation in our area requires materials that handle weather extremes. Scorching summers crack concrete, while winter freezes make surfaces heave and settle. Interlocking pavers move with temperature changes instead of fighting them, which is why they last decades longer.
A recent paver driveway project we did in the Sparks hills replaced years of cracked concrete. The homeowner said it was like having a completely different house.
Patios and Walkways for Every Home
Patio installation is probably our favorite type of project because the transformation is so immediate and dramatic. We’ll show up to a house with a basic concrete slab or just dirt where the backyard should be inviting, and by the time we’re done, families have this amazing outdoor space they actually want to use.
The beauty of custom paver design is that we can work with any space and on any budget. We’ve done intimate little seating areas for townhomes in downtown Reno, and we’ve created elaborate entertainment spaces for larger homes out in Galena. We always ask the same question first: How do you actually live out here? Some folks want to entertain constantly, others just want somewhere peaceful to sit. Tell us which one you are and we’ll take it from there.
Most people don’t give walkways much thought, but honestly they’re huge. You’ve probably walked through yards that just feel easy to move around in. That’s usually because someone thought about how you’d naturally move through the space.

How We Install Pavers the Right Way
We’ve been doing this long enough to know exactly what happens when someone cuts corners. Your pavers might look fine for a year or two, then reality hits. Settling, weeds, or drainage problems. There’s a reason we do things a certain way.
Site Assessment and Planning
Every installation starts with thorough site evaluation. We examine drainage patterns, soil conditions, slopes, and how the new surface integrates with existing features.
Reno and Sparks present unique soil challenges. Some areas have hard caliche requiring special excavation, while others have sandy soil needing careful base preparation. As a licensed paver installer, we handle these local conditions based on years of experience.
Base Preparation That Matters
Proper paver base preparation is critical, especially with Northern Nevada’s freeze-thaw cycles. This is where most DIY projects and cheap contractors fail.
We excavate to the correct depth based on traffic load and soil conditions. Proper grading makes sure water drains where it’s supposed to instead of creating issues down the road. The packed sub-base uses the right materials at correct depths, pressed down in layers for the right density. This foundation work keeps pavers looking good for many years.
Pattern Installation and Finishing
Installing interlocking pavers takes precision and skill. We’ve mastered every interlocking pattern from simple running bond to elaborate herringbone and circular designs. Pattern choice affects both appearance and structural performance.
Each paver gets set individually with constant attention to spacing and alignment. Finishing uses joint sand or polymeric sand that locks everything in place and stops weeds from growing. Good edge restraints hold everything together for years.
Why Most DIY Paver Projects Fail
Comparing DIY to professional installation almost always shows professionals win for good reasons. While the materials seem cheap and it looks simple enough, doing it right requires special know-how, tools, and experience that most homeowners just don’t have.
Remember that excavation and base work we mentioned? It requires specific materials, compaction equipment, and understanding of local soil conditions. A Damonte Ranch family spent two summers attempting their own patio, but it kept settling and developing water-collecting low spots. They needed paver repair before we could complete their project properly.
When you factor in tool rental, material waste, time investment, and fixing problems later, affordable installation from experienced contractors usually costs less than DIY attempts.
Professional Service for Pavers
Paver Options for Every Style and Budget
The variety these days is crazy. There’s everything from smooth modern stuff to rough old-world textures, little pavers, and big ones. It’s amazing how switching just the color can make it feel like a completely different space.
Interlocking pavers beat stamped concrete and traditional options through flexibility and repairability. If you ever need to dig up a section for plumbing or electrical work, we can just pop out the pavers and put them back when it’s done.
Lots of folks want the green options now. These permeable pavers actually let rainwater go right through instead of washing into the street. Plus some areas around Washoe County will actually give you rebates for using them.
What to Expect: Timeline and Investment
How long does a patio take? Depends what you want. A basic rectangle might take us three days, but if you’re thinking curves and multiple levels, we’re talking more like a week.
Winter’s always tricky because the ground gets tough to dig. We’ll be straight with you about timing and let you know if weather’s going to mess with the schedule.
As for cost, we break everything down in our free estimates: materials, labor, and how long it’ll take. Nobody likes surprises when it comes to money.
Installing Pavers in Northern Nevada
Working around here comes with its own headaches. The soil’s all over the place, heavy clay in one spot, then sandy stuff twenty feet away.
Then you’ve got hills, big old trees people don’t want us touching, and HOAs with their rules about everything. We’ve been dealing with all this stuff long enough that it doesn’t slow us down much anymore.
Protecting Your Investment
Proper maintenance keeps new surfaces looking great for decades. Paver sealing is optional but recommended in our area for stain prevention and easier cleaning. We typically recommend sealing every few years.
Minor paver repair issues like settling or individual damaged pavers can be addressed quickly and affordably when caught early. This advantage over concrete means problems get fixed without replacing entire sections.

FAQs
First we clear the area of any existing surfacing, vegetation, or debris. Next comes excavation to the proper depth, followed by a compacted crushed‑stone base that creates a stable, well‑draining platform. In Reno’s climate we also add a thin layer of polymer‑enhanced sand to lock the pavers in place and improve resistance to freeze‑thaw cycles. Once the base is inspected and approved, we begin laying the pavers according to your chosen pattern.
Our design team walks you through the full range of options from classic rectangular blocks to bold herringbone, basket‑weave, or custom mosaic patterns. We consider factors such as your home’s architectural style, the amount of sunlight the area receives, and how you intend to use the space (entertaining, lounging, vehicle traffic, etc.). By reviewing sample swatches and virtual mock‑ups, you’ll be able to select a color, texture, and layout that complements your property while staying within your budget.
