Pavers,
set to stay flat for decades.

Travertine, porcelain, and concrete pavers laid on a properly engineered base with polymeric sand joints — so 110° summers, monsoon downpours, and Arizona's caliche soil don't push them out of plane.

What you get

Built to last.
Built right.

Most residential paver projects fall between $14 and $28 per square foot installed depending on paver tier, pattern, demo, and base depth. Travertine pool decks and large driveways sit at the higher end. We don't lay pavers over sand without a compacted aggregate base — that's the only thing separating a 30-year install from a 5-year one.

  • Belgard, Pavestone, and Techo-Bloc concrete pavers — full warranty.
  • Travertine pool decks — French pattern, cool to walk on, slip-rated.
  • Porcelain pavers — modern format, fade-proof, perfect for contemporary builds.
  • 4–6 inch compacted aggregate base · geotextile fabric · polymeric joint sand.
  • Driveways engineered for vehicle loads with reinforced edge restraint.
  • Lifetime manufacturer warranty on pavers · 5-year workmanship warranty.
How it works

What to expect.

After the consultation we measure, lay out the pattern, and quote a fixed price. Demo, base prep, paver install, cutting, and polymeric sand finishing typically takes 4–10 days depending on square footage. We compact in lifts, install proper edge restraint, and finish with polymeric sand that locks the joints against ants, weeds, and washouts.

Common questions

Pavers & Hardscape FAQ.

How much do pavers cost in Arizona?+

Most residential paver projects run $14–$28 per square foot installed. Travertine pool decks, larger driveways, and intricate patterns sit at the higher end of that range.

Pavers or stamped concrete — which is better in Phoenix?+

Pavers win in Arizona. They flex with caliche soil movement instead of cracking, individual pavers can be lifted and reset if needed, and travertine stays meaningfully cooler underfoot than concrete in summer.

Why does the base matter so much?+

Pavers laid on thin sand fail in 5–7 years — they shift, sink, and let weeds through joints. A properly compacted 4–6 inch aggregate base with geotextile fabric and polymeric joint sand is what makes them last 25–30+ years.

Can you tie pavers into an existing pool deck or patio?+

Yes — we match elevation, joint pattern, and color tone so the new work reads as one continuous space rather than an obvious addition.
