Paver Installation in Paradise Valley
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 Paradise Valley
PV lot sizes, view easements, and dark-sky lighting requirements drive the design language. We default to honest materials — natural travertine, real stone veneer, finished steel, dimmable warm LED — and avoid the suburban shortcuts that read cheap on a $5M property.
HOA:The Town of Paradise Valley itself enforces design and lighting review. Documentation is prepared as part of design, not bolted on at submittal.
Permits:PV requires its own building permit process — separate from Scottsdale or Phoenix. Permits, dark-sky lighting compliance, and pool barrier code are handled in-house.

Pavers in Paradise Valley — 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's your paver warranty?+
2-year workmanship warranty on paver installation. Manufacturer warranty on the pavers themselves (varies by brand).
How long does a paver patio take?+
Most patios run 1–2 weeks once on schedule, depending on size and scope. Driveways and full backyard hardscape can run 3–4 weeks.
