About Our Paver Installation Services in Fredericton
For 37 years, Elite Landscaping Fredericton has specialized in designing and executing brick paver installations that stand the test of time. As a leading paving contractor in Fredericton, we understand that a paver surface is more than just an aesthetic addition; it's a long-term investment in your property's function and value. Our experience, spanning over 800 projects in communities from Southwood Park to Nashwaaksis, has shown us that the key to a lasting paver patio, driveway, or walkway is meticulous preparation and a deep understanding of local soil and climate conditions. We build surfaces that provide exceptional durability and require minimal maintenance, solving common homeowner frustrations like cracking concrete and rutted asphalt. Our focus is on delivering a finished product that not only looks impeccable but also performs flawlessly for decades. The technical foundation of our work sets us apart. We strictly adhere to and often exceed the standards set by the Interlocking Concrete Pavement Institute (ICPI). Our process begins with a comprehensive site assessment, followed by a precise excavation base, typically 8-10 inches for patios and 12-14 inches for driveways, to ensure absolute stability. We use high-grade geotextile fabric to separate the subsoil from the base material, preventing sinking and weed growth. The base itself consists of compacted 3/4-inch clear stone, applied in 3-4 inch lifts and compacted with a heavy-duty plate compactor to achieve 98% standard proctor density. This robust base is critical for preventing movement and ensuring a perfectly level surface that lasts. Working in Fredericton requires specific expertise to combat the challenges of our climate, particularly the intense freeze-thaw cycles. Frost heave prevention is the cornerstone of our installation philosophy. The deep, well-compacted base we build is the primary defense, allowing water to drain away before it can freeze and expand beneath the pavers. We also ensure a minimum 1.5% grade for proper surface water runoff. For jointing, we exclusively use high-quality polymeric sand, which hardens to form a flexible yet durable bond.
