Local site conditions

Conditions specific to Rutherford that shape how we approach prep, drainage, and material choice on every job.

Owners often want material that matches the original — careful stone yard selection becomes part of the job
Historic-feel neighborhoods mean Type S mortar is the wrong call almost everywhere
Many original walkways have settled — full re-bed is more common than spot repair

What we build

Pavers — what's included

Patios, driveways, walkways, and pool decks. The job is in the base: 6–8 in. of compacted process, geotextile fabric on soft soils, and polymeric joint sand that locks the surface without weeds.

Herringbone, basketweave, and running-bond patterns
Permeable paver driveways for stormwater compliance
Soldier-course borders and cut radius edges
Polymeric jointing and edge restraint

How we build it

Pavers — start to finish

The four stages we run on every pavers job. Same workflow whether it's a small fix or a full install.

Layout and excavation

String lines on the design. Excavation to 8–12 inches below finish grade — deeper for driveways. Geotextile fabric on the subgrade if soils are soft or wet.

Stage 1 of 4

Compacted base

3/4-inch clean stone placed in 2-inch lifts, each lift compacted with a plate compactor before the next goes in. This is where 80% of the long-term performance lives.

Stage 2 of 4

Bedding and laying

1 inch of bedding sand screeded to grade. Pavers laid in the chosen pattern (herringbone for driveways — it locks under load). Soldier-course border tied to the field.

Stage 3 of 4

Edge, joints, and compact

Snap-edge restraint spiked into the base. Polymeric joint sand swept in, blown clean, then misted to activate. Final pass with the compactor over a roller mat sets the field flush.

Stage 4 of 4

Rutherford questions

About pavers work in Rutherford

The four things people actually want to know before they sign an estimate.

How long does a paver installation take?

A typical 400 sq ft patio is 5–7 working days. A driveway runs 1–2 weeks depending on size and how much we have to dig out. Weather and base condition are the big variables — soft subgrades take longer to compact correctly.

Polymeric sand vs. regular sand for joints?

Polymeric. It locks the joints, stays put through rain and snowblowing, and stops weeds from rooting. Regular sand washes out within a season. Polymeric needs to be installed dry on a dry surface, then misted — installer error here is the most common reason a paver job fails early.

Will pavers heave in the winter?

Not if the base is right. The base has to drain freely so water doesn't sit and freeze under the field. Bedding sand depth needs to be uniform (1 inch — not more). Joints need polymeric sand keeping moisture out of the base.

Can pavers go over an existing concrete slab?

Sometimes — it depends on the slab's condition, drainage, and finish elevation. We have to add 1.5–2 inches of stack height, so steps and door thresholds become a problem. We'll tell you honestly whether it's worth it for your slab or whether you're better off tearing out and starting on a proper base.
