How to Install Brick Pavers

Paver Installation Process Summary


Whether you are planning to install pavers on your walkway, driveway, patio, or anywhere else around your property, our team can help! Let our experts create a work of art out of your ideas, regardless of the size or complexity of your project.


Here’s our 12-step paver installation process:


1) Planning

 

We start by reviewing your ideas, goals, and project details. This helps us plan the right equipment, materials, and timeline.
          Reminder: Call Sunshine 811 at least 48 hours before digging—Florida law requires marking underground utilities for safety.


2) Layout & Excavation


We clear the area of furniture, landscaping, or old materials. Then we level, mark the layout, and excavate as needed, ensuring proper drainage and a compacted sub-base.   Depth based on use (typically 6–12")


3) Base Installation


 We add and compact layers of crushed concrete for a strong foundation, followed by a 1” layer of leveling sand. Evenly spread and screed sand layer


4) Material Prep


All pavers and supplies are delivered and organized so everything’s ready for installation.


5) Paver Installation


We lay the pavers using your chosen pattern, aligning them with chalk lines and blending colors for a consistent look. Start from a straight edge and be careful to maintain consistent spacing


6) Cutting & Borders


Custom cuts are made for corners and curves. We also install edge borders for a clean, finished design.


7) Special Features


 If your project includes steps, planter boxes, or other custom elements, we install them during this stage.


8) Edge Restraints


We secure the borders using edge restraints to keep everything in place. Options include plastic, troweled concrete, or footer-style depending on budget and durability needs.


9) Joint Sand & Compaction


Dry sand is swept into joints, then use a plate compactor or another tool  to set pavers in place compacted. For better durability and weed resistance, we recommend polymeric sand to lock-in the pavers.


10) Final Walkthrough 


We inspect the project with you to ensure everything meets expectations and matches the original plan.


11) Cleanup & Seal (Optional) 


We remove all debris and clean the surface. For better color protection and stain resistance, we can apply a protective sealant to shield your pavers from weather and wear.


12) Final Approval


We wrap up the project once you’re 100% satisfied with the final result.


To better maintain your new driveway, patio, walkway or pool surround, we recommend regular maintenance, which includes sweeping, weed control and re-sanding joints as needed.

Avoid Common Mistakes for Your Patio Project

To avoid common mistakes when installing concrete brick pavers, careful planning and attention to detail are essential.

Poor Drainage:

  • One of the most critical issues is poor drainage planning, which can lead to water pooling and long-term damage to the paver surface.
  • Always ensure the installation area is graded properly to direct water away from structures.


Inadequate Base Preparation

  • Inadequate base compaction is another frequent pitfall; a poorly compacted base can cause pavers to shift, sink, or become uneven over time.
  • Use a mechanical plate compactor to firmly compact each layer of the base material.


Insufficient or Poor Sand Distribution

  • An uneven sand bed can also lead to a wavy or unstable surface.
  • Be sure to screed the sand evenly before laying pavers.
  • Additional issues to watch for include failing to install edge restraints, which can cause the pavers to spread or lose alignment, and skipping joint sand compaction, which weakens the structural integrity.

With care and precision, and by avoiding these common mistakes, you can ensure a smooth, long-lasting paver installation. Enhance your home's curb appeal with a durable, stylish paver driveway.
