Paver Installation in Gilbert
engineered to last, not just installed
Most paver problems in Arizona are base problems. We install pavers on a properly compacted ABC base — 2–3" for patios and walkways, 4–6" for driveways, more for build-up and high-traffic — set in a 1" sand bed and locked with polymeric joint sand. Quarter minus is never used under pavers.
What's different about pavers in Gilbert
Whether a Gilbert property is subject to private design review, and what a submittal must contain, depends on that community's current governing documents. The owner confirms the current requirements directly with the association before design is finalized.
HOA:Private HOA/CC&R and ARC requirements vary by property and current governing documents, and private review is separate from municipal permitting. The owner confirms them directly with the association. AE prepares submittal materials only where that work is currently offered, accepted and explicitly assigned in the signed scope; the association decides approval and controls its own timing.
Permits:Town of Gilbert Development Services handles permits and pool-barrier inspections, applying ARS §36-1681 within its scope alongside adopted local rules. AE performs only the work currently offered, accepted and explicitly assigned in the signed scope; the customer confirms the current requirements for the property with the authority having jurisdiction and any HOA/ARC or insurer, and no permit, inspection, HOA, or code acceptance is guaranteed.

Pavers in Gilbert — FAQ
Why do so many pavers in Arizona fail?+
Almost always inadequate base depth or no polymeric joint sand. The pavers themselves rarely fail; the assembly under them does. We engineer the assembly to the load — patio depth for a patio, driveway depth for a driveway.
What warranty applies to paver work?+
Workmanship warranty applies only per the written warranty terms in your signed scope. Any manufacturer warranty on the pavers themselves is the manufacturer's, on its own published terms.
How long does a paver patio take?+
Duration is project-specific. Size, demolition, access, materials, weather, and any review or inspection controlled by the authority having jurisdiction all affect it. Any stated schedule belongs in the signed scope; no timing is promised before that.
