commonly used for patios, driveways, walkways, and pool decks. ABC pavers has

come in a variety of styles, colors, texture and shapes, allowing for creative and customizable designs.

What is the typical cost of paver installation?
The Paver installation cost is influenced by factors such as the type of pavers chosen (concrete or natural
stone), the size and complexity of the project, site preparation requirements, labor costs, permitting etc.

Do I need professional help for paver installation, or is it a DIY project?
While some DIYers may successfully install pavers, it’s recommended to hire professional installers.
Improper installation can lead to issues like sinking surfaces and drainage problems. ABC PAVERS owns
commercial compactors, excavators and machinery necessary for each project. (Plus, we have the best
professional installers). If not installed correctly, a paver pad will shift /crack and sink few months or weeks after installation. We are also familiar with the city/county code so you will not have to worry
about being fined for the code compliance department of your jurisdiction. Let the professionals at ABC
PAVERS to do it right from the beginning.
Can pavers be installed over an existing concrete surface?
We install over existing concrete on pool decks. Por paver patios, walkways, porch, we can install thin
pavers over a concrete slab, as long as it is in good condition. For driveways, the concrete must be removed to ensure the right compacted foundation and thick pavers that will handle the weight of a vehicle. Proper preparation of the base is crucial to ensure stability and longevity of your project. ABC PAVERS estimator will provide more guidance on the paver thickness for each type of project after
visiting the site.
How long does it take to install pavers?
The duration depends on the size and complexity of the project. A small patio may take a few days, while a large driveway could take a week or more. If a permit is needed, we have to add between 1-4 stage inspections depending on city/county requirements). A multilevel patio with customized columns, LED lights and steps would take as much or more days than a small driveway. Our ABC Pavers estimator will be able to give you an approx. days of production timeline for your outdoor project.
What is the paver installation typical process?
We start preparing the surface, installing a 4 inch pipe for future utilities and irrigation routing, installation of base, sand and pavers and sealing (if included in your estimate). City/county Inspections and final walk thru of your project and final payment and hopefully a new 5 star review ⭐️
How do I maintain and clean my pavers?
We Floridians, receive a lot of rain through the year. Pavers are low-maintenance, but periodic cleaning and sealing can enhance their longevity and appearance. Regular sweeping, washing, and sealing every 2-3 years are common maintenance practices as the rain washes out the sand joints and weeds may start growing. ABC Pavers will gladly provide pressure washing/sealing/sanding maintenance services
after we complete your project.
