How much does a paver patio cost in Vancouver?
The cost depends on the patio size, excavation, base preparation, pavers, access, grading, drainage and disposal requirements. A site-specific estimate is more accurate than a generic square-foot price.
How long does a paver patio last?
A properly designed and installed paver surface can provide many years of service. Longevity depends on preparation, materials, drainage, installation quality and ongoing maintenance.
Do pavers require a concrete base?
Many residential interlocking paver applications use a properly prepared aggregate base rather than a concrete slab. The appropriate base depends on the application and site conditions.
Do you excavate before installing pavers?
Excavation is commonly required to create room for the appropriate base, bedding layer and pavers, particularly when replacing an existing lawn or surface.
Can you install pavers over an existing patio?
The existing surface must be assessed first. Depending on its condition, elevation and construction, removal and reconstruction may be more appropriate than installing directly over it.
Can pavers be installed in a backyard?
Yes. Pavers are commonly used for patios, walkways, garden paths, outdoor living areas and other residential hardscaping applications.
Can you combine a paver patio with artificial turf?
Yes. Pavers and artificial turf can be incorporated into the same backyard design to create separate hardscape and lawn areas.
Do paver patios need drainage?
Surface grading and drainage should be considered during the design and installation of the patio so rainfall can be managed appropriately.
