A poured slab in the East Valley tends to crack as the clay soil swells and shrinks between monsoon season and the dry months. Pavers are separate units on a flexible base, so the surface can take small movement without a crack running across it.
If one paver does get stained or chipped, it lifts out and a new one goes in its place. That repairability is a big reason Chandler homeowners pick pavers for patios, pool decks and driveways over a single slab of concrete.

Pavers show up all over a Chandler property, from the back patio to the front drive. These are the places homeowners ask us to put them most often.
The paver itself can stay the same across all six. What changes is the depth of the base, the pattern and how the edges get locked, which is why a driveway and a patio are built differently underneath.
Pavers around the pool with the deck drainage worked into the layout.
Front courtyards and entry walks that set the look before the front door.
Thin pavers set over a sound slab, so the old concrete does not have to come out.
We talk through colors and patterns on site, next to your house and in your light, before anything is ordered.
We measure the area on site, note where the grade falls and how far it is from the street to the work area, and figure the cuts your layout will need. Then you get the paver price in writing.
A herringbone pattern with a curved border takes more cuts and more waste than a straight running bond. Measuring the real shape of your yard is how we order the right amount of pavers the first time.
Most paver problems start below the surface. Sunken spots and wandering joints come from a thin or loose base, so that is where most of our time goes.
Our crew runs a plate compactor over the base in layers, screeds the bedding sand flat and pulls a string line before the first paver goes down. It is the same routine on a small Chandler courtyard or a full backyard in Gilbert.
Area measured, pattern and color picked.
Dirt or old surface dug out to depth.
Base compacted, sand screeded to grade.
Pavers set to line, edges cut clean.
Edges restrained, joints sanded, walkthrough.
A paver patio is the natural place to add a fire pit, a kitchen island or a shade structure. Plan them in from the start and the pavers get cut around them once, not twice.
Decorative rock along the edges gives the pavers a clean border and keeps dirt from washing onto the surface during monsoon storms. It also cuts down on water use compared to a strip of grass.
Pavers are priced per job, not from a sheet of per foot rates. These four things make the biggest difference to yours.
A small patio on open dirt and a driveway over an old cracked slab are very different jobs, even if the paver on top is the same. Your written quote spells out where the cost is coming from.
Straight runs lay faster than a herringbone with a curved border and a lot of cuts.
Bare dirt is quick. Breaking out an old slab or pool deck adds demo work.
Concrete, brick and natural stone pavers each carry a different material cost.
A driveway needs a deeper base than a patio, which means more digging and more rock.

These cover what most Chandler homeowners want to know before paver work starts. Sinking, weeds, sealing and pavers over old concrete come up on almost every visit.
Not if the base is dug to the right depth and compacted properly. Low spots almost always trace back to a base that was too thin or never compacted.
Often, yes. If the slab is sound and the height works at the doors, thin pavers can be set over it instead of breaking it out. If it is badly cracked or heaving, it has to come out first.
Seeds blow into the joint sand and sprout. Keeping the joints full and pulling the odd weed early keeps it under control, and polymeric joint sand that firms up once wet can help.
Darker pavers get hot in full sun. For pool decks we steer toward lighter colors, and travertine is worth a look if bare feet are the main concern.
Sealing is optional. It can deepen the color and make stains easier to clean, but it has to be redone over time, and we will tell you whether it makes sense for your paver.
Chandler first, plus Gilbert, Mesa, Tempe, Ahwatukee, Queen Creek and San Tan Valley. If your address is near the edge of that, call and ask.
We work out of Chandler and lay pavers across the southeast Valley. That includes Gilbert, Mesa, Tempe, Queen Creek, Ahwatukee and San Tan Valley.
Many of these neighborhoods have HOA rules on paver colors and front yard hardscape. We can work from your HOA guidelines so the plan is ready to submit for approval.
The paver you pick changes the look, the feel underfoot and the price. These are the ones we lay most across Chandler.
Concrete pavers come in the most colors and shapes. Clay brick gives a classic look, and natural stone like travertine, flagstone and cantera suits a Sonoran Desert yard with a looser, earthier style.
The workhorse. A wide range of colors and shapes, and the easiest to match later.
Clay brick for a classic look on patios, walks and borders.
Photos from our own crews, taken on the job. We can tell you more about any of them on the site visit.
They show pavers going down on a new backyard and a travertine and turf layout. The last two are finished paver walkways in East Valley front yards.
We are a Chandler family business, and the crew that sets your pavers works for us. You deal with one company from the first measurement to the final sweep of joint sand.
When you need a paver replaced down the road or want to add on to the patio, you call the same local company that built it. That is the upside of hiring a Chandler paver contractor instead of a crew passing through.
