Question 1

Can I install pavers over an old concrete slab?

Accepted Answer

It is usually better to remove the old slab and build the base right. A cracked or shifting slab passes its problems straight up into the new pavers. Starting from a fresh, compacted base costs a bit more on day one and avoids redoing the job later.

Question 2

How long do pavers last?

Accepted Answer

Decades. Pavers are made to outlast the people who install them, and individual pavers can be lifted and reset if anything ever settles. The only regular upkeep is an occasional joint sand refresh to keep the surface tight and weed-free.

Question 3

What is the best season to build in North Texas?

Accepted Answer

Fall through spring is the sweet spot in North Texas. Cooler weather is easier on the crew and the materials, and your patio is ready to enjoy before the summer heat arrives. Summer builds are still done all the time; they just start early in the day.
