Pavers
Versatile. Enduring. Beautiful.
Why Pavers?
Elegant, durable and classically lovely, pavers will maintain their appeal for years—if not decades—to come.
Pavers do more than give you a stunning look. They last for decades, making this application both practical and beautiful. While pavers may be a larger up-front investment, the results will repay your investment with beauty, a higher resale value and a process that stands the test of time.
No matter if it’s your driveway, walkway, patio, or retaining wall, pavers can bring a unique and elegant option to your outdoor space. The many styles and colors will enable your project to perfectly complement the rest of your home.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why Allied Outdoor Solutions?
Our biggest strength is a commitment to two related issues: installation quality and customer satisfaction. Both really begin with a commitment to process – every stage of it.
We’ll have a thorough pre-job walk-through. All the necessary permits will be secured, drainage and irrigation considered, inspections arranged, HOA approval received, layout confirmed and then, finally, work can begin. After completion, your project manager will perform a post-job walk-through.
How does Allied install a paver system?
Depending on your environment, we can utilize an overlay system, remove and replace, or start from scratch. For a standard remove and replace, paver installation begins with the demolition of the existing surface. The existing hardscape—be it concrete, stone, or pavers—is removed. We then excavate down another 4″-6″ to create an 8″-10″ paver system. Your area will be built back up using a stabilized and compacted base material. We then apply a small amount of bedding sand to your pavers for the perfect base. An edge restraint is poured around the outside to help keep everything intact. Once the pavers are laid, we carefully fill the joints with polymeric sand—it looks like grout and will help inhibit weed growth and prevent sand loss and joint erosion.
What does it mean to be ICPI certified?
We’re a member of the Interlocking Concrete Pavement Institute. You can relax knowing that we have done our homework so that you don’t have to. We have gone to great lengths to keep ourselves up to date on installation training and methods so that we make sure that every project is installed the way we’d want it in our own backyard.
What does it mean to be a Belgard Authorized contractor?
Because we are one of the few contractors across the state to be recognized by Belgard, the homeowner is rewarded with a lifetime warranty on the paver itself. While a paver is a durable product to begin with, it must be installed by an authorized contractor in order to have the backing of the warranty given. The correct installation of the paver is what gives it its longevity.
Is cracking an issue in pavers?
Not typically. Because pavers consist of small, high-density units, they resist the long, unsightly cracks that can mar ordinary concrete.
Do pavers stain easily on a driveway?
While any cement product will change color over time or be impacted by outside forces, pavers are less likely to stain than other applications. Pavers are rated for less than 5% absorption, which is considerably lower than asphalt and poured concrete. This aids in resistance to oil and salt, both common destructive agents in the life and appearance of other paved surfaces.
Are pavers stronger than concrete?
Yes. Inch for inch, pavers are stronger and more durable than conventional surfacing materials. Pavers can easily handle the daily weight stressors of cars and trucks. In fact, they are currently being installed on airport runways!
How much maintenance is required?
Pavers require far less maintenance than other hardscape materials. Their strength and durability eliminate costly patching or re-surfacing. Pavers provide a long-lasting, dependable surface that is both aesthetically pleasing and lasts for many years. Their modular nature assures that they can easily be replaced or repaired as needed. Additionally, a sealant layer is not required, which can help offset the initial project cost.
What is the warranty on pavers?
We offer a 2 year workmanship warranty and a lifetime product warranty on any Belgard paver installation.
