Pavers and Paver

Driveways,

Walkways,

Sidewalks

Rising Sun Landscaping & Maintenance installs pavers and paver driveways, walkways, borders as a part of any landscaping project. These foundational elements to your landscaping are great, and often better, alternatives to concrete that provide functionality for movement, areas for activities, foundations for items like sheds and hot tubs, and separation of spaces on your property. Pavers are often better alternatives to concrete for the following reasons: • Pavers are more aesthetically pleasing than concrete. • Pavers come in many shapes and colors that allow simple and complex designs that can be repeated throughout your landscape. • Pavers are often more durable than concrete. • Pavers offer simpler repair than concrete because one broken or stained paver can be removed and replaced rather than a large section of concrete. Rising Sun Landscaping and Maintenance installs pavers on a compated layer of soil covered by crusher-fine, not sand, at no additional cost. Crusher-fine can be compacted much better than sand and provides a better quality installation of pavers. You can also see our short blog on pavers.

Paver patios and gathering spaces

Basic patios often look much better with pavers. If you choose to use concrete, you can have borders and internal designs. Consider small changes to this approach to add additional style and design to your patio. Other gathering areas such as around fire pits, kivas, and outdoor kitchens can be produced with pavers to provide a more warm and pleasing environment.

Paver driveways

A properly formed and installed paver driveway adds function and beauty to your landscaping. Pavers are also very durable and resistant to damage. When damaged, individual pavers can replaced those chipped or stained, unlike concrete. Consider how it will be used, and how it will look. Rising Sun Landscaping & Maintenance has installed very large paver driveways to smaller driveways and can also add paver additions that widen or add more function to what you already have.

Paver walkways

Paver walkways add a touch of class to your landscaping and provide a comforting path for wandering through your yard. Many patterns, shapes, and colors exist to match any need. Just as in patios, options in finishing, coloring, and adding boarders can carry the theme of your landscape design throughout the pathways on your property.

Other landscaping uses for pavers

How can pavers provide options for functionality and beauty in your landscaping? Rising Sun has utilized concrete for other landscape features including these: • Welcoming and warm gathering spaces • Accents and borders for concrete areas • Boarders for grass and other areas • Dog runs • Foundations for sheds and hot tubs • Pads for storing trash bins • Expansion areas for existing paver and concrete driveways

Paver repair

Paver repair is very easy, the most difficult issue is finding matching pavers. Simply remove the damaged area and reset with crusher- fine. We suggest you keep a small quantity of unused pavers in storage in case you need to repair your driveway or walkway in the future.

Cost for pavers

Call Rising Sun Landscaping & Maintenance for specific costs for your job. A general rule of thumb is that pavers cost about two and a half times that of concrete. This extra cost is often worth it in durability, aesthetics, and value added to your property.
