Our Paver Services

Paver Patio Installation

We design and build custom patios using interlocking concrete pavers or natural stone, creating outdoor living spaces ideal for relaxation or entertaining. Our team carefully considers sun exposure, drainage, and your property’s architecture to ensure comfort and durability. Whether you want a cozy retreat or a large entertaining area, we create patios that blend seamlessly with your outdoor living vision.

Walkways and Garden Paths

From curved garden trails to straight entry paths, we install paver walkways that provide structure and style. Our designs enhance accessibility and flow throughout your property while complementing its natural features. These walkways improve navigation across your lawn or garden while increasing safety, especially in areas prone to mud or uneven ground.

Driveway Pavers

Upgrade your curb appeal and functionality with a paver driveway that resists oil stains, weather damage, and heavy traffic. Paver driveways also allow for quick repairs, as individual pavers can be replaced if damaged. With various color and design options, we can create a driveway that becomes an elegant extension of your home’s exterior while withstanding the wear of vehicles and fluctuating weather conditions.

Pool Deck Paver Installation

We offer slip-resistant and heat-resistant paver options that are ideal for pool surrounds. The porous nature of many paver materials helps reduce standing water, minimizing the risk of slips. Additionally, their ability to reflect heat makes poolside areas more comfortable underfoot during hot Illinois summers. Our designs add both luxury and safety to your outdoor swimming areas.

Retaining Walls with Pavers

Integrate structural support and beauty with our paver-based retaining walls. These walls prevent soil erosion on sloped properties while adding a decorative element to gardens, backyards, and front entrances. Various textures and colors allow for complete customization, turning functional walls into attractive landscape features that complement patios, flower beds, and property lines.

Outdoor Kitchens and Fire Pit Surrounds

Our team creates outdoor cooking and entertainment spaces bordered with elegant paver designs. These outdoor living areas are designed to withstand heat, spills, and frequent use while offering an inviting gathering space. We customize layouts to fit your property size, ensuring optimal use of space and seamless integration with surrounding patios, retaining walls, and gardens.


Benefits of Professional Paver Installation

Professional paver installers bring design expertise to the table, ensuring your paver layout complements your property’s aesthetics and functional needs. They consider factors like color coordination, pattern layout, drainage, and traffic flow. This attention to detail ensures your outdoor space is both beautiful and highly functional.

Expert Design and Customization

Professionals conduct thorough site evaluations, ensuring the ground is properly excavated, graded, and compacted. Without proper preparation, pavers can quickly develop dips, cracks, or weed growth. Experts use the correct base materials and compaction techniques to create a solid foundation that resists movement over time.

Proper Site Preparation

With expert installation techniques and high-quality materials, professionally installed pavers can withstand heavy loads, harsh weather, and daily wear and tear. Professionals know how to interlock pavers properly and use the right joint sand, which helps resist erosion, prevents weed growth, and reduces the risk of displacement from freeze-thaw cycles.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • How long does it take to install a paver patio?

    Most standard patio installations in the Champaign area take between 3 to 7 days, depending on the project size and site conditions. Weather, site access, and material availability can also influence the timeline. Our team ensures efficient scheduling while maintaining top-tier craftsmanship.

  • Are pavers suitable for Illinois winters?

    Yes, pavers are ideal for Illinois climates because they resist cracking from freeze-thaw cycles, making them more durable than poured concrete. Their interlocking system allows for natural movement during seasonal changes. Proper installation ensures long-term stability even through harsh winters.

  • What kind of base do you use for paver installation?

     We use a compacted gravel base followed by a layer of sand to ensure stability, proper drainage, and long-term durability. This foundation prevents shifting and settling over time. Proper base preparation is critical for withstanding Illinois' variable moisture and temperature levels.

  • Can pavers be used for driveways?

     Absolutely. Paver driveways offer superior load-bearing strength and a custom look, making them a great fit for both homes and businesses. They resist oil stains and wear from heavy vehicles. Additionally, individual pavers can be replaced easily if damaged.

  • Do you seal pavers after installation?

    Sealing is optional but recommended. It protects against stains, enhances color, and prolongs the surface’s lifespan, especially in high-traffic areas. Sealing also helps prevent weed growth and makes routine cleaning easier. We offer professional sealing services if desired.

  • Will weeds grow between my pavers?

    With proper base preparation and polymeric sand joints, weed growth is minimal. Regular maintenance helps further reduce the chance of weeds. Polymeric sand hardens to lock joints in place, discouraging both weeds and insect activity from taking hold.

  • How do I maintain my paver surface?

    Routine sweeping, occasional power washing, and resealing every few years (if sealed) keep pavers looking fresh and functional. Promptly removing debris, stains, or moss ensures long-term appearance and performance. We can also provide maintenance tips specific to Central Illinois conditions.

  • Can I match pavers to my existing hardscape?

    Yes, we offer a wide selection of styles and materials to match or complement your current landscape features in Urbana, Rantoul, and beyond. Our design team can help you select textures, colors, and patterns that blend seamlessly with your existing outdoor elements.
