If you want a patio, walkway, or driveway that resists cracking and allows for easy repairs, pavers are installed with precise excavation, compaction, and edge restraint to prevent shifting. Paver projects address sandy and heavy clay-like soil conditions, high water tables, and freeze-thaw movement that causes concrete to crack and asphalt to buckle. The work is common for homes, HOA developments, retail walkways, and commercial entry areas.
Capstone Landscape Design installs pavers with attention to clean lines, symmetry, and long-term performance. The company is owner-operated, and every project is constructed from excavation through final joint sand application. Estimates and financing options are available for larger installations, and the team is BBB accredited fully licensed, insured and bonded for residential and commercial work.
If you are ready to replace cracked concrete or add low-maintenance outdoor surfaces in Brick, Point Pleasant, Wall Township or the surrounding areas, reach out to Capstone Landscape Design.
The site is excavated to a depth that accounts for the paver thickness, base layer, and compaction requirements. A crushed stone base is installed in lifts and compacted with a plate tamper or roller. Edge restraints are placed along borders to prevent outward movement, and bedding sand is screeded level before pavers are set. Joint sand is swept into gaps and compacted to lock the surface together.
After installation, you will notice a smooth, level surface that drains quickly during rain and stays stable through winter. Individual pavers can be lifted and reset if underground repairs are needed, unlike concrete slabs that require full replacement.
This service does not include sealing unless requested separately. Pavers are installed to remain functional without sealing, though sealing can reduce staining and weed growth in joints. Most residential paver projects are completed within one to two weeks depending on size and weather.
What people want to know before installation
Homeowners and property managers in Toms River, Brick, Manasquan or the surrounding areas often ask about paver durability, maintenance requirements, and how installation compares to pouring concrete. Below are answers to the most common questions about paver projects.
Pavers flex independently rather than cracking as a single slab. Proper base preparation and joint sand allow water to drain below the surface, preventing heaving and movement during winter.
Spring and fall offer the best weather for base compaction and joint sand placement. Winter work is possible if the ground is not frozen, while summer heat can speed up drying but requires water management.
Capstone Landscape Design has been installing pavers throughout Ocean & Monmouth county since 2006, with direct owner involvement on every project. If you need a durable, repairable surface for your home or commercial property, contact the team for an estimate.
