Pavers offer unmatched versatility, durability, and aesthetic appeal for outdoor surfaces. Whether you are building a new patio, replacing a worn driveway, creating an elegant walkway, or surfacing a pool deck, interlocking pavers provide a design flexibility that poured concrete simply cannot match. ACE Design & Build installs premium paver systems throughout Los Angeles, delivering surfaces that are beautiful, functional, and built to last.
One of the greatest advantages of pavers is the extraordinary range of design options available. We work with interlocking concrete pavers in dozens of shapes, sizes, and colors; natural stone pavers including travertine, bluestone, flagstone, and slate; and porcelain pavers that combine the look of natural materials with exceptional durability. Patterns range from classic herringbone and running bond to contemporary linear layouts and custom mosaic designs - allowing you to create a surface that perfectly complements your home's architecture.
Pavers also offer significant practical advantages over poured concrete. Individual pavers can be easily removed and replaced if they become damaged, without disturbing the surrounding surface. Properly installed paver systems with polymeric sand joints create a flexible surface that resists cracking from ground movement - an important benefit in seismically active Los Angeles. Permeable paver options allow rainwater to filter through the joints into the ground below, reducing runoff and helping you meet local stormwater management requirements.
Every ACE paver installation begins with thorough base preparation - excavation, compaction, and a precisely graded aggregate base that provides a stable foundation. Edge restraints lock the perimeter in place, and joint sand fills the gaps to create a unified, interlocking surface. This meticulous process ensures your pavers remain level, stable, and free from shifting for decades.

Why Choose ACE for Pavers
Design Flexibility
With hundreds of paver styles, colors, sizes, and patterns available, the design possibilities are virtually unlimited. Our designers create custom layouts that complement your home's architecture - from classic, timeless patterns to bold, contemporary designs. Mix materials and colors to define borders, create focal points, and add visual interest.
Easy Repair and Maintenance
Unlike poured concrete, individual pavers can be removed and replaced without affecting the surrounding surface. This makes repairs simple and cost-effective. If you ever need to access underground utilities, pavers can be lifted and reinstalled - something that is impossible with a concrete slab.
Permeable Options for Stormwater Management
Permeable paver systems allow rainwater to filter through the joints and into the ground below, reducing surface runoff and helping recharge groundwater. In Los Angeles, where stormwater management is increasingly regulated, permeable pavers offer a functional and environmentally responsible solution.

Frequently Asked Questions About Pavers
Paver installation typically costs $15 to $35 per square foot, depending on the type of paver, complexity of the design, and preparation required. Concrete interlocking pavers are on the lower end, while natural stone and porcelain pavers are on the higher end. We provide detailed pricing in your proposal.
Pavers and concrete each have their strengths. Pavers offer greater design flexibility, easier repairs, and better resistance to cracking. Concrete is more cost-effective for large, simple areas. Many homeowners choose pavers for patios, walkways, and driveways where aesthetics and longevity are priorities.
Quality interlocking pavers, properly installed, can last 30 to 50 years or more. Natural stone pavers like travertine and bluestone are virtually permanent when installed on a proper base. Regular maintenance - occasional cleaning and re-sanding of joints - keeps pavers looking like new.
Sealing is optional but recommended. A quality paver sealer enhances color, protects against stains, inhibits weed growth between joints, and stabilizes the polymeric sand. We recommend resealing every two to three years for best results.
In some cases, pavers can be installed as an overlay on existing concrete if the slab is in good condition and properly sloped for drainage. We evaluate the condition of your existing surface and recommend the best approach during your consultation.
Permeable pavers are designed with wider joints or special shapes that allow rainwater to pass through the surface and into the ground below. They reduce stormwater runoff, help meet local drainage requirements, and are an environmentally responsible choice for driveways, patios, and walkways.
What Our Clients Say
“ACE installed travertine pavers throughout our entire backyard - pool deck, patio, and walkways. The French pattern layout is classic and the tumbled edges give it an Old World feel.”
“We chose porcelain pavers for our rooftop deck and ACE installed them on a pedestal system. Perfectly level, modern look, and the drainage underneath works flawlessly.”
“ACE re-paved our entire side yard with interlocking concrete pavers. The border detail and the curve around our garden beds shows real skill. Not a single paver has shifted after two rainy seasons.”
“The marble-look porcelain pavers ACE installed on our patio are gorgeous. They recommended porcelain over real marble for our outdoor use and they were absolutely right - zero staining, zero maintenance.”
“ACE installed permeable pavers on our driveway to comply with the city stormwater requirements. They look identical to regular pavers but let water through. Smart solution and beautiful result.”
