Brick & Concrete Paver Driveway Installation Services

A paver driveway is less like paving a surface and more like designing one. Every decision from the pattern, the border treatment, and the joint color, to the material itself is visible from the street and becomes a permanent part of how your home presents itself.

Landed works through pattern selection, border detailing, and edge transitions as part of the design conversation, not as installation afterthoughts. That’s the difference between a paver driveway that looks assembled and one that looks like it belongs.

Landed Offers:

We begin by evaluating your driveway’s layout, slope, and how you use the space day to day. Our team develops a plan that addresses drainage, access, paver pattern and color, and curb appeal—tailored to your property and the way you live.

Every great paver driveway starts below the surface. We excavate to the proper depth, correct grading issues, and install a compacted aggregate base engineered to handle vehicle loads and the stability and drainage demands of Northern Virginia’s clay-heavy soils.

We source high-quality brick and concrete pavers in a curated range of colors, textures, and patterns to match your home’s style. Whether you prefer the warmth of clay brick or the versatility of concrete pavers, we’ll help you choose the right material for a driveway that performs under daily vehicle traffic.

Our crews lay each paver with precision over a properly compacted base, using edge restraints to lock the pattern in place and prevent shifting. We offer running bond, herringbone, basket weave, and custom layouts—herringbone patterns are especially popular for driveways thanks to their superior resistance to vehicle loads.

We close every project with guidance on caring for your new driveway—when to top off polymeric sand in the joints, how to spot early signs of wear, and how routine maintenance keeps your pavers looking sharp for decades.

Every paver driveway we install reflects our commitment to durability and a clean, finished look. From proper base preparation to final pattern, we ensure flawless execution at every step.

We Build to Last

A paver driveway is only as good as what’s beneath it. The most common failure points—shifting pavers, ruts, and uneven settling—almost always trace back to inadequate base depth or poor compaction. At Landed, proper base construction isn’t a line item we cut—it’s the foundation of every project we deliver.

Our installation process includes:

  • Full excavation and removal of the existing surface when needed
  • Compacted aggregate sub-base engineered for vehicle loads and Northern Virginia’s clay-heavy soils
  • Site grading to direct water away from your home and prevent pooling
  • Properly specified base depth and edge restraints to keep pavers locked in place
  • Polymeric sand joints and precision-laid pavers for a tight, long-lasting surface

Brick & Concrete Paver Driveway FAQs

A properly installed brick or concrete paver driveway can last 25 to 50 years or more, and unlike poured surfaces, individual pavers can be lifted and replaced if one becomes damaged—without redoing the whole driveway. As with any paving material, the foundation matters most—a driveway built on a properly compacted aggregate base with the correct depth for vehicle loads will hold its pattern and shape for decades. At Landed, we build the base to last so the surface above performs for decades.

We recommend topping off polymeric sand in the joints as needed and sealing your pavers every 3 to 5 years depending on use and exposure. Sealing helps lock joint sand in place, enhances color, and protects against staining and weed growth. We’re happy to set up a maintenance schedule once your project is complete.

Yes—pavers handle freeze-thaw cycles better than poured surfaces because each unit can move slightly without cracking. The key is a properly compacted aggregate base and solid edge restraints that keep the whole system stable through seasonal shifts. We engineer every driveway for our regional climate, not a generic spec.

In most cases, no. Pavers need a properly compacted aggregate base beneath them, and an existing concrete or asphalt surface doesn’t allow for that. We typically recommend full removal of the old surface and a properly prepared base before installing pavers, which gives your driveway the strongest foundation for a long-lasting result.

Absolutely—it’s one of our specialties. Combining a primary paver field with a contrasting Belgian block or granite cobblestone border, or a banding accent in a complementary color, gives your driveway a custom, high-end look without a major cost increase. It’s a popular choice for homeowners who want a polished, tailored entrance.

We start with a site consultation to assess your existing driveway, drainage, and goals. From there, we finalize a design, schedule excavation, and prepare the aggregate base—grading, compacting, and building it to the proper depth for vehicle loads. Edge restraints are installed, pavers are laid in your chosen pattern, and polymeric sand is swept into the joints and activated. Most residential installations are completed and ready for full use within a few days.
