A paver patio, walkway, or driveway is only as good as what’s underneath it — proper excavation, a compacted base, and correct drainage are what keep pavers from shifting, sinking, or heaving after a New Jersey winter. JMD Property Innovations handles the full job, from excavation and base prep through paver installation and jointing sand.
Whether it’s a new backyard patio, a front walkway, or a full driveway, we match materials and patterns to the home and grade the base for real drainage — not just a surface laid over unprepared soil, which is the most common reason a paver project fails early.
Paver projects are scoped by square footage and site conditions — excavation depth, drainage, and any retaining or edging needed. Your estimate lays out exactly what’s included before work starts.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do paver patios need a permit in NJ?
Depends on size and township — some larger patios or anything tied into drainage require a permit. We handle any required permitting as part of the project.
How long do paver patios last compared to concrete?
A properly installed paver patio, with correct base prep, typically lasts as long or longer than concrete, and individual pavers can be replaced if one ever cracks or stains — you’re not stuck replacing the whole slab.
Can pavers be installed over an existing concrete patio?
Usually not directly — most jobs require removing the existing concrete so the base underneath can be properly excavated and compacted. We’ll confirm what your site needs during the estimate.
