How much does a paver patio cost in Nanaimo?

Below are some points to consider when calculating the cost:

Unlevel Yard (Elevation Changes) – Extra time and materials for the paver patio installation maybe required if there are alot of grade changes in your property.

Curves vs. Straight Edges – The shape of your patios will dictate the quantity of cuts required. Alot of cutting will result in higher overall paver cost.

Access – A 4-6 inch base of compacted road-base is the start for all our paver patios as well as the pavers needed for the patio. Problems with access will increase the time required to transport materials for the project, also adding cost

Existing Material Removal – Heavy machinery maybe required to excavate the area if the existing area is compacted or dense.

What makes a good paving stones installation

One of the biggest failings in any installation is lack of prep-work. Creating a good solid base will instantly give you better longer results. This achieved by making sure there is no organic matter under your finished product ie loam. Getting right down to the clay before compacting a crush base means less movement over time. Also using the least amount of sand possible will also give you longer results. Sand isn’t a stable structure and you cant compact it, so having the least amount under your paving stones will benefit you in the long run. As a residential paving contractor in Nanaimo, we like to keep it down to 1/4″-1/2″ maximum. Also we have found that having a clean edge of concrete around your patios will keep them stronger for longer than plastic edging. it not only keeps the pavers in place, but also keeps everything under the paving stones which helps for a functional and durable paver patio.
