How Much Does a Paver Walkway Cost?
What's beneath our walkways?
We install our walkways according to manufacturer specifications. We start with a 4-6 inch crushed material base, compacted with a gas-powered plate compactor, followed by a ¼ inch layer of fine mason sand for leveling. The next step is paver installation, concreting the edges, and finally applying polymeric sand to the joints for a long-lasting finish.
Although the installation process may seem complex, rest assured that our expert Walkway Installers handle every detail. We ensure that every element is meticulously executed, resulting in a durable and visually stunning walkway.
Setting Heights Based on the Grade of Your Property
The first step in a paver walkway installation is evaluating the grade of your property. This is essential in determining the height for your new paver project, as it influences all subsequent steps. Understanding the elevation is crucial for proper water drainage. Once we establish the starting height, we add a “pitch” to the pavers, typically 1.5 inches every 10 feet sloped away from your home. This ensures proper water runoff without making the walkway feel like a ramp. While aesthetics are important, we equally prioritize functionality.

Setting Up Forms & Installing Subbase
While part of the crew works on other tasks, another team sets up the wooden forms that maintain the desired level for the subbase. Once these forms are temporarily secured, we begin filling the area with RCA (Recycled Concrete Aggregate), which we use as a subbase for all residential projects. Paver walkway installation is typically required around new pools and driveways. The RCA is added in “lifts,” meaning we fill 2-3 inches at a time, compact it, and repeat until the top of the forms is reached, ensuring a solid foundation for the Paver Construction.
Once the subbase is satisfactory, we add a layer of fine sand over the compacted RCA. The sand is spread, tamped, and screeded to create a smooth surface. Since pavers are manufactured with a 1/16th-inch margin of error, the sand ensures the pavers sit level, providing both precision and aesthetic appeal.
Setting Up to Lay Pavers
Once the sand is prepared, we set up our square lines. When laying pavers, the joints between each paver form bond lines. To ensure the walkway aligns perfectly, it must be “square” with your home or any other designated structure in the area. This is a crucial part of proper construction etiquette and ensures the most visually appealing result. Our team is trained to lay the pavers first and install the borders afterward, guaranteeing precision and a clean finish.
Pavers Included
Borders
The border offers an opportunity to enhance your project with a splash of color. The options are endless, from matching the border to your walkway, choosing an accent color, or even opting for a double border. Once all the pavers are installed, the walkway enters its final phase of completion, bringing everything together with a polished, finished look.
