Pavers outperform poured concrete in Los Angeles: they flex with our soil instead of cracking, drain better, and can be lifted and reset if a utility ever needs service. We install paver driveways, pool decks, patios and walkways over an engineered compacted base, and build stacked stone accent walls that give a plain stucco home real presence.
Pavers that stay flat
The difference between pavers that look great for decades and pavers that heave is the base. We excavate to depth, install geotextile fabric where soils call for it, compact class II base in lifts, screed a bedding layer, and lock everything with edge restraints and polymeric sand. Driveways get a thicker base to handle vehicle loads.
Stacked stone and veneer
Ledger-stone and stacked stone veneer on wainscots, columns, raised planters, pool walls and entry facades is one of the highest-impact exterior upgrades for the money. We install over properly lathed and scratch-coated substrates with weep screeds and flashing so moisture never gets trapped.
Styles and materials
Concrete pavers in modern large-format, cobble and plank styles. Porcelain pavers for a seamless indoor-outdoor look. Travertine and natural stone for pool decks that stay cool underfoot. Permeable pavers where drainage or city requirements call for them.

Pavers & Hardscaping questions, answered
How much do pavers cost installed in Los Angeles?
Installed concrete pavers typically run $18 to $30 per square foot depending on pattern and site prep. Porcelain and natural stone range from $30 to $50 per square foot. Driveways include a heavier base.
Are pavers better than concrete for a driveway?
In most Los Angeles soils, yes. Pavers flex without cracking, drain better, offer more design options and can be repaired section by section.
Do you install stacked stone on existing stucco?
Yes. We prepare the substrate with lath and scratch coat, add flashing and weep screeds, and install ledger or stacked stone veneer so it is both beautiful and watertight.
