When most people picture their dream home, not only do they envisage a beautiful interior, but they also imagine a spectacular outdoor space where they can entertain guests, enjoy the fresh air, and have an abundance of native plants and flowers. One way to make that dream a reality is to have concrete pavers installed to create an even surface that still looks beautiful. Concrete pavers are a great way to enhance the look and function of a backyard. With a variety of colors, textures, and patterns, homeowners can find a style that complements any home. Because there are so many options to choose from, it might be wise enlisting the help of some denver asphalt and concrete services and figuring out what concrete paver is best for your space. It can be quite an overwhelming decision doing it alone so having a professional there to help can speed up the process. Plus, they’re pretty heavy pavers too so it’s likely that you’ll need a team of people to come and lay them for you.

Like any home improvement project, installing pavers takes planning and preparation to do the job right the first time. We asked our friends at Troesh Coleman Pacific what advice they would give to homeowners interested in installing pavers.

Working with a licensed contractor like Troesh, a homeowner would decide on the area of installation, the work area around the project, and a location for materials as the installation occurs.

Depending on the scope of the project, a contractor would identify any utility lines they may encounter during installation, as well as landscape irrigation that could be affected.

Homeowners should inspect materials when they are delivered to the home but before the pavers are installed. Be sure to check for color and pattern before work begins.

Once complete a good contractor will walk the job with the homeowner to make sure the pavers are secure and looking great.
