Paver Installation

Professional Paver Installation Services in San Jose & Silicon Valley

Pavers offer something that poured concrete simply can’t match—timeless beauty, incredible durability, and the flexibility to create truly custom outdoor spaces. Whether you’re designing a front entrance, backyard patio, driveway, or walkways, professionally installed pavers transform ordinary surfaces into architectural features that enhance your home’s value and curb appeal. The difference between pavers that look beautiful for decades versus those that settle and shift within a few years comes down to proper installation from day one.

J & P Landscapes has been installing high-quality paver systems and hardscaping throughout San Jose and Silicon Valley for over two decades. Our approach emphasizes foundation work that determines long-term performance—proper excavation depths, correctly graded base materials, compaction at every layer, and edge restraints that lock everything in place through Bay Area’s seasonal soil movement. We follow industry standards from ICPI to ensure your pavers maintain their beauty and structural integrity for 30+ years. We also offer permeable paver options that manage stormwater sustainably while providing the same durability and aesthetic appeal.

Why San Jose & Silicon Valley Should Choose J & P for Their Paver Installation

Installation Quality That Prevents Common Problems
We’ve repaired countless paver installations where contractors cut corners on base preparation, leading to settling, shifting, and weed growth within 2-3 years. Professional installation requires excavating 7-12 inches deep, installing compacted base rock in layers, and using proper edge restraints. We follow ICPI installation standards on every project, which is why our pavers maintain their beauty and performance for decades.

Today’s pavers offer incredible variety—from classic brick patterns to sleek, large-format concrete pavers in contemporary colors. We help you select styles, colors, and patterns that complement your home’s architecture and personal taste.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does paver installation cost in San Jose?

Paver installation typically ranges from $18-35 per square foot depending on paver type and project complexity. Concrete pavers generally cost $18-25 per square foot installed, while natural stone runs $28-40+ per square foot. Driveways require thicker base preparation and cost slightly more than patios. Most projects range from $8,000-$30,000 total.

How long do pavers last?

Properly installed pavers last 30-50+ years with minimal maintenance. Unlike concrete that cracks and requires complete replacement, individual pavers can be lifted and replaced if damaged. The color in quality pavers goes throughout the entire thickness, so they won't fade or show wear patterns like surface-colored materials.

Are pavers better than concrete?

Pavers offer several advantages: they don't crack like concrete, individual units can be replaced if damaged, they provide better traction when wet, offer endless design options, and can be more cost-effective for repairs. Concrete is initially cheaper but lacks flexibility in design and repair. For driveways, patios, and walkways, pavers typically provide better long-term value.

Can pavers be installed over existing concrete?

Sometimes, if the existing concrete is in good condition (no major cracks or settling) and proper drainage exists. However, most situations benefit from removing old concrete and installing pavers with proper base preparation. This ensures long-term performance and allows for correct grading and drainage. We assess each situation individually.

What's the best paver for Bay Area driveways?

Concrete pavers rated for vehicular traffic (typically 2-3/8" thick or more) perform excellently in Bay Area driveways. They handle our clay soils and temperature fluctuations better than poured concrete. Choose darker colors cautiously as they show tire marks more easily. Textured surfaces provide better traction. We recommend specific products based on your driveway's use and aesthetic goals.
