How long does a typical paver installation take?
Project timelines vary based on size and complexity. A standard residential patio (200-400 sq ft) typically takes 3-5 days, while a driveway may take 5-7 days. Larger commercial projects are quoted individually. Weather conditions can affect scheduling, but we'll provide a detailed timeline during your consultation.
Do I need permits for paver installation?
Permit requirements vary by municipality. In most cases, patios and walkways don't require permits, but driveways and structures near property lines often do. We handle all permit applications and ensure your project meets local codes. During your consultation, we'll advise on specific requirements for your location.
What factors affect the cost of a paver project?
Several factors influence pricing: project size (square footage), material selection (concrete pavers vs. natural stone), site preparation needs (excavation, grading, drainage), pattern complexity, and accessibility. We provide detailed, itemized quotes after your free consultation so there are no surprises.
Will pavers crack in Illinois freez-thaw cycles?
Quality pavers are engineered to withstand freeze-thaw cycles common in Illinois. Proper installation with adequate base preparation and drainage is key to preventing shifting and cracking. Our installation methods exceed industry standards for our climate, and we back our work with a workmanship warranty.
How far in advance should I book my project?
During peak season (spring and summer), we recommend booking 4-6 weeks in advance. Fall projects should be scheduled by late summer. For best availability and to complete work before winter, we suggest starting the consultation process early. Contact us anytime to get on our schedule.
Do you work with commercial properties?
Absolutely. We serve businesses throughout the region with walkways, patios, parking areas, and comprehensive landscape services. Commercial projects are scheduled to minimize business disruption—often nights or weekends. Contact us to discuss your commercial project requirements and timeline.
What kind of materials do you use?
We use premium pavers and natural stone selected for durability in Chicagoland weather. Depending on the project, that includes concrete pavers, brick pavers, bluestone, and other high quality stone, along with proper base materials, edging, and polymeric sand for long lasting results.

The Foundation of a Lifetime: Our 7-Layer Installation Process
We don’t just lay stones; we build foundations. Every project starts with a deep excavation of the Illinois clay, followed by a geotextile fabric barrier, a high-density compacted aggregate base, and a precise bedding layer. This rigorous process is what prevents the shifting, sinking, and heaving common in our Midwest climate.
What Sets Us Apart
The Unilock Difference
As a Unilock Authorized Contractor, we provide access to exclusive technologies like EnduraColor for fade-resistant finishes and EasyClean for stain resistance. These aren't just pavers; they are engineered stones designed to withstand rock salt, heavy vehicles, and high-traffic entertaining.
Beyond the materials, the Unilock difference is in how the system performs when it is installed correctly. We build every project on a properly prepared base with the right grading and edge restraint, then finish with tight joints and polymeric sand to reduce shifting and weed growth. The result is a patio, driveway, or walkway that stays level, looks sharp, and holds up through Chicagoland’s freeze-thaw cycles season after season.
