The figures on this page are real and we don't hide them — that's how AE operates. But we want to be honest about how to read them. Your Phoenix paver installation isn't a line-item expense; it's an investment in your home's value, your family's daily experience, and a space you'll use for the next twenty to thirty years.
When you compare bids, compare what you're investing in — the spec, the crews, the warranty, the company that will still be standing in year ten — not just the price tag. The lowest bid is almost always the most expensive build over time.

“Chad provided great options for my back courtyard over the phone. He followed up by coming on-site to confirm our phone discussion, master plan, etc. In just a little over one month, the project was completed. All along the way Chad was responsive to my inquiries and followed up timely. Overall a very good experience.”
“The owner, Dave, is one of the most responsive contractors I've ever dealt with. His crews show up as he promised. Advant-Edge workmanship is spot on. He responds to texts/emails expeditiously. Their crews came on time everyday until the job was completed. They leave a clean worksite before they leave for the day and after the job is completed. They have done 3 major landscape/paver projects for us since 2017. I would highly recommend Advant-Edge for all of your landscape needs.”
“A year after moving into my new Glendale home I had yet to address my 1,200 sq. ft. dirt backyard. Much research led me to Advant-Edge, a local family-owned business. The owner, David Bell, came over to scope out the yard, listen to my vision, and watch videos of rainwater drainage issues. David proposed burying a 6" pipe across my yard to better direct the drainage, a buried drip irrigation system tied into my existing Hunter controller, and a low-maintenance mix of pavers, artificial turf, and rock. I was impressed that Belgard had awarded a "Master Craftsman" certification to Advant-Edge. His contract is lengthy and all-inclusive, and every question I sent was answered thoroughly. The crew was on time, respectful, and cleaned up daily. The finished yard drains beautifully and looks great.”
Why 30mm (not 60mm) pavers change the math on overlaying a tired concrete patio — cost, install time, and where they hold up vs. where they don't.
The single install shortcut that shows up in almost every failed AZ patio — and the spec that prevents it (real ABC depth, real polymeric joint sand).
