General Installation Process

Concrete brick pavers are specifically manufactured for use on the ground. They are available in a wide range of colors and shapes from manufacturers in Texas. Installation begins with a compacted sand base. After the sand is leveled, the brick pavers are placed in your selected pattern. Then, our craftsmen cut and trim the patio, giving careful attention to detail. A hidden concrete edge restraint holds the patio together. Finally, sand is vibrated between the bricks with a plate compactor, locking the pavers together.

Advantages of Brick Pavers 

  • Any outdoor area can be enhanced with the color, pattern, and texture of brick pavers.
  • A brick patio makes an excellent pool deck because of its non-slip surface.
  • Properly installed pavers will not shift or sink under heavy traffic making them ideal for driveways.
  • Individual pavers are easily removed and replaced to access underground utilities and plumbing.
  • Brick pavers are installed on a flexible base, therefore they won’t crack as the ground shifts during a drought or flood.
  • Brick pavers are ecologically sound. They allow water and air to penetrate the ground. They are also reusable, therefore avoiding waste.
