Driveway Paving in Vancouver, WA

Versatile – As with patio or sidewalk pavers, homeowners prefer driveway pavers for their incredible versatility. The limit on what we can do with a near endless range of styles is up to your own creativity. With concrete, brick, clay, and stone options cut to any shape or mix of shapes, pavers are unmatched in their natural beauty compared to other alternatives.

Durable – Pavers also make for an extremely durable and resistant surface for vehicle traffic. Unlike pavement or concrete, which consist of a single poured surface whose vulnerability extends to wherever a crack can form, pavers are interlocked and interchangeable, making them flexible.

Investment – With an elegant and well installed paver walkway, you can expect the home’s property value to increase. Homeowners love the rustic, inviting charm of paved outdoor areas, and pavers are the most practical solution.

01. Hardscape design – Before committing to a paver driveway, consider hiring one of our experts to perform an assessment. By working with you, we will find a design that matches both your budget and vision. Afterwards, our team will follow up with an estimate for the requested hardscape services.

02. Base preparation – The installation process begins with digging out a base roughly a foot deep and then filling it with gravel. Once set, we will add compacted sand to create the layer on top of which the pavers will sit. This stage is critical, as it involves creating an even plane that extends throughout the property’s natural slope. This process is known as “screeding.”

03. Driveway installation – To install the pavers, our expert technicians will set the stones one by one, making sure each one fits snugly against the next. As they proceed, they will confirm the entire pattern is in alignment. When finished, they will fill the joints with polymeric sand and seal the surface.

Clean the surface – Paver driveways will reward you with a long lifespan, as long as you provide them with some simple upkeep. That means removing weeds when they form and periodically power-washing the surface. It is also a good idea to sweep or vacuum the joints to remove undesired debris.

Replace pavers – Broken or sunken pavers will appear over time, but they are an easy fix: Simply replace them with the same style of stone paver. You can hire a professional to do this, or you can do it yourself. Just make sure to seal and tamp down the joints properly. Doing so will make the driveway look as good as new.

Refill and seal – It is a good idea to reapply polymeric sand and reseal the paver joints every three years. This will help prevent pavers from sinking over time and keep the superficial beauty of the driveway. To do so, pour some sand between the pavers, then add water to cure and fasten the joints of the entire driveway.
