Paver Installation in Alamo

What Alamo homeowners should know

Built for long Alamo driveways

Driveways in Round Hill and Stone Valley Oaks are often long and wide. A paver driveway with a contrasting border breaks up the large surface, and because each paver can be lifted and reset, repairs don't mean redoing the whole driveway.

Pavers around oak trees

Near mature oaks, we keep edges out of the main root zone where we can. If roots move the surface years later, pavers can be reset instead of cutting and patching a slab.

No city permit office

Alamo is unincorporated, so rules come from Contra Costa County. Private driveways and patios close to grade are on the county's permit-exempt list. A new or changed curb cut at the street goes through county Public Works.

Our pavers process

  1. 1

    Site visit and layout

    We measure, check slopes and drainage, and mark the paver pattern and color with you.

  2. 2

    Excavation and base

    We remove the old surface and soil, then install and compact a crushed-rock base in lifts.

  3. 3

    Bedding and pavers

    Pavers are set on a screeded sand bed in the chosen pattern and cut cleanly at the edges.

  4. 4

    Edge restraint and joints

    Edges are locked in place and joints are filled with polymeric sand to limit weeds and shifting.

  5. 5

    Final walk-through

    We compact, clean the surface and review the finished work with you.

Paver Installation in Alamo: FAQ

Do I need a permit for a paver driveway in Alamo?

Driveways not more than 30 inches above grade are on Contra Costa County's building-permit exemption list. Work on a public sidewalk or curb cut needs county Public Works review.

Are pavers a good choice near oak trees?

Often, yes. Pavers can be lifted and reset if roots move, and we lay out edges to avoid cutting large roots.

Can you install a paver pool deck in Alamo?

Yes. We install paver pool decks and borders, graded so water drains away from the pool and the house.
