The installation time for a paver patio depends on the size and complexity of the project. A small, simple patio might take a few days, while a larger, more intricate design could take a week or more.

Base Preparation: Lay down and compact a layer of crushed stone, followed by a layer of open-graded aggregate, ensuring proper drainage.

Cutting Pavers: Cut pavers as needed to fit the edges or around obstacles.
Compaction: Compact the pavers into the base using a plate compactor to ensure stability.
Filling Joints: Fill the joints between pavers with polymeric sand to lock them in place and prevent weed growth.
Final Compaction: Compact the pavers again to ensure the sand settles into the joints.

How do pavers handle Colorado's extreme weather conditions?

Pavers are well-suited to handle Colorado’s extreme weather conditions, including heavy snowfall, freeze-thaw cycles, and intense sunlight. They are designed to be flexible, allowing for slight movement without cracking. The joints between pavers help prevent water from pooling and freezing, reducing the risk of damage from ice expansion.
