Premium Paver Patios, Walkways & Driveways in DFW
Durable and elegant paver solutions for your outdoor living space. Learn why pavers are the superior choice for North Texas soils.
Redefining Outdoor Living with Custom Pavers
In the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex, our outdoor spaces are an essential part of our homes. Whether it's a backyard patio for family gatherings or a welcoming front walkway, the materials you choose make a lasting impact. While poured concrete is common, savvy DFW homeowners are increasingly turning to pavers. Pavers offer a level of beauty, durability, and flexibility that concrete simply cannot match, especially in our challenging Texas environment.
The Paver Advantage in North Texas: Why They Win
Why are pavers the best choice for DFW properties? It all comes down to our expansive clay soil.
Flexibility and Soil Movement
DFW is known for its expansive clay soil, which shifts and moves as it gets wet and dries out. Poured concrete is rigid; when the soil moves, the concrete cracks. Pavers, on the other hand, are a 'flexible' pavement system. Because they are individual units set on a deep, compacted base, they can move slightly with the ground without cracking. If a single paver ever becomes damaged or if an area settles, it can be easily repaired without the need for an unsightly patch or a full replacement. You'll never have to worry about a large, jagged crack running through the middle of your patio.
Immediate Use and Safety
Pavers can be walked on or driven on immediately after installation—no waiting for 7 days for concrete to cure and harden. Additionally, pavers offer superior slip resistance due to their textured surface, making them a safer choice for pool decks, driveways, and walkways, even during our sudden North Texas rainstorms.
Endless Design Options and Curb Appeal
From the classic look of old-world cobblestone to the sleek lines of modern large-format slabs, pavers come in a nearly infinite variety of colors, shapes, and textures. We can create custom patterns like herringbone, basketweave, or circular designs to complement your home's unique style. The color of pavers is consistent throughout the material, meaning it won't fade or wear away like stained concrete.
Our Professional Installation Process: Built to Last
The beauty of a paver project is only as good as the foundation beneath it. We follow a rigorous multi-step process to ensure your patio or walkway remains perfectly level for decades.
Excavation and Base Preparation: We dig down to a specific depth (usually 6-8 inches) and install a thick layer of crushed stone. This base is mechanically compacted in layers to create a solid, non-shifting foundation that allows for proper drainage.
Bedding Sand and Screeding: A thin layer of specialized sand is laid over the base and 'screeded' to provide a perfectly smooth, level surface for setting the pavers.
Precision Hand-Setting: Our master craftsmen lay each paver by hand, following your chosen pattern with meticulous attention to detail. We use string lines to ensure every joint is perfectly straight.
Edge Restraints and Finishing: We install professional-grade edge restraints to prevent the pavers from shifting outward over time. Finally, we sweep specialized polymeric sand into the joints. When misted with water, this sand hardens, locking the pavers together and preventing weed growth or insect infestation.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are pavers more expensive than concrete?
The initial investment is higher than basic concrete, but because pavers don't crack and are easily repaired, they often have a lower total cost of ownership over 10-20 years. They also add significantly more value to your home.
Can you install pavers over my existing concrete patio?
In many cases, yes. This is called a 'paver overlay.' We will inspect your existing concrete to ensure it is stable enough to serve as a base. This is a great way to upgrade your look without the cost of a full demolition.
How do I clean my pavers?
Most pavers only require occasional sweeping and rinsing with a hose. For deeper cleaning, a mild detergent and a stiff brush will do the trick. We also offer professional sealing services to keep them looking brand new.
