When choosing an installer for your pavers, take note of past installations.  How tight are the cuts, how straight are the lines, are there

pieces that are too small used, and are there any tripping hazards after the install are a few that should be noted.

 

All paver jobs pictures look good taken from 30 feet away.  Have you ever seen pictures of a paver job closeup? 

   

On a thin paver overlay over concrete, steps must be taken to have a smooth transition from the pavers that are now sitting approximately

1.5” higher than the old concrete/asphalt that is around the paver install.

 

You may pay hundreds and in most cases thousands for a paver surface install.  In most cases most companies are all charging approximately

the same price per square foot on pavers.  See below what differentiates an average or sub par install to what you deserve. 

Thin pavers need to be flush with existing concrete sidewalks, garages and roads.

There should be no sign of any

mortar or concrete to hide an

imperfect install.

No cut surfaces should be shown to expose the any

aggregate inside the paver.

The edges of the pavers should

be tight to lock  the pavers

together.
