Paver installation · Tile & flooring · Orlando, Florida

A paver job is wonunder the pavers.

Driveways, patios, pool decks and walkways across Central Florida — set on a base dug to depth and compacted in lifts, so the surface still sits flat years after we leave. Inside: tile, backsplash, vinyl and laminate flooring, and full bathroom and kitchen remodels.

The premise

Pavers do not sink because of the pavers.

Almost every failed driveway we get called out to look at failed the same way: the base was too shallow, it went in wet, or it was never compacted in lifts. The pavers on top were usually fine. They just had nothing underneath them to sit on.

So that is where the work goes on our jobs. Dug to depth, base compacted in lifts, graded to drain away from the house, edges restrained on every open side, joints locked with polymeric sand. It is the part you will never see again — and it is the only reason the part you do see stays flat.

Selected work

Our work, on our jobs.

Every photograph below was taken on a job we did. Grouped by the kind of work rather than dressed up as case studies, because what you want to know is whether we have laid the thing you are asking for.

Scope

What we install.

Pavers are the core of it — driveways, patios, pool decks, walkways and sealing. Inside, the same crew lays tile, backsplash, vinyl and laminate flooring, and takes bathrooms and kitchens down to the studs. Demolition on either side of the door.

  1. Paver InstallationThe core of what we do. Excavation, compacted base, laying, edge restraint and joint sand — on driveways, patios and everything between.
  2. Driveway InstallationBuilt for the load a car actually puts on it, graded to drain away from the house, and set out so the cuts land where they look deliberate.
  3. Patio InstallationPatios and pool decks, with the seat walls, fire pits and outdoor kitchens that turn a back yard into a room you use after dark.
  4. WalkwaysPaths and entries with contrast borders that set the line, and stepping stones dropped level with the turf so a mower runs straight over them.
  5. Vinyl FlooringVinyl plank and laminate over a subfloor that has actually been levelled first — which is the difference between a floor that stays quiet and one that clicks underfoot.
  6. Tile InstallationLarge-format, mosaic, herringbone and patterned floors, set out from the room's centre line so the cuts fall at the edges and not in the middle.
  7. Backsplash InstallationKitchen backsplashes and feature walls, scribed to the counter and finished at the outlets so no cut plate is doing the hiding.
  8. Bathroom RemodelingFull bathroom remodels — demolition, waterproofing, tile, niches and benches — with the wet area flood-tested before a single tile goes on.
  9. Kitchen RemodelingKitchen floors, backsplashes and the demolition and prep behind them, sequenced so the room is out of service for days rather than weeks.
  10. DemolitionTaking out the old concrete, tile or decking — cleanly, with the debris hauled off and the site left ready for whatever goes back in.
  11. Paver SealingCleaning, re-sanding and sealing pavers you already have. It holds the joints, slows the weeds and brings the colour back without making the surface slick.

How a job runs

Four stages. No surprises between them.

  1. Walkthrough and estimate

    We measure the area, look at how the ground drains today and where the water ends up, and price the actual scope — not a range over the phone. You get it in writing, itemised.

  2. Demolition and base

    Old surface out and hauled off, dug to depth, base compacted in lifts and graded to drain away from the house. Interior work gets the same discipline: the subfloor is levelled and checked before anything is set.

  3. Laying

    Pattern set out from a line and walked with you before we commit. Cuts made on site, edge restraint on every open side, borders laid first so the field reads straight.

  4. Joints, sealing and cleanup

    Polymeric sand swept in, plate compacted, and sealed once the surface has cured. The site leaves swept and the debris goes with us the same day.

The standard

The things we will not cut.

None of this is remarkable. It is simply what the work requires, and almost every hardscape complaint you will read online comes from one of the six below being skipped to win a price.

  • Licensed and insured

    Certificates of insurance go to you before the first day, not after you think to ask for them.

  • Base dug to depth

    The single thing cheaper quotes are cheaper for. Ours goes in compacted in lifts, and we will show it to you before it disappears under the sand.

  • Fixed written price

    Itemised, with the square footage and the material stated, so you can compare it against anyone else line by line.

  • Changes priced first

    Nothing gets built off a verbal. If the scope moves, it is written and priced before a tool comes back out.

  • Clean site, every day

    Debris hauled the same day, the drive swept, and nothing left on the grass overnight.

  • Warranty in writing

    A written workmanship warranty on the install, plus the manufacturer's warranty on the material transferred to you.


Before you call

Questions we get asked first.

Most residential driveways run three to five working days once we break ground — longer if there is concrete to demolish and haul, or if the area is large enough to need staging. Sealing happens after the surface has cured, so that is usually a separate return visit.

Start here

Tell us the area and what is there now.

Square footage, what is on the ground today, and whether anything needs demolishing — that is enough for a real conversation. Photos help more than anything, so mention it below and we will ask you to send them.
