Pavers Installation in Draper
Custom paver installation across the Salt Lake Valley — patios, driveways, walkways, and pool decks. One crew designs and installs the full project. Our crews tailor each project to local site conditions, property goals, and the long-term performance expectations for Draper.
Harnessing Hilltop Winds and Slopes
Draper sits in the far southeast corner of the Salt Lake Valley, with the Wasatch Mountains rising to the east and Traverse Ridge to the south. The Point of the Mountain is a world‑renowned site for hang gliding and paragliding because of its consistent, strong winds. These same winds and slopes shape our Pavers Installation work—calling for wind‑tolerant plantings, terraced gardens and sturdy retaining walls. We design outdoor spaces that capture panoramic views while shielding patios and play areas from gusts, so you can enjoy your hilltop property in comfort.
Extreme Seasons and Semi‑Arid Elegance
Because Draper sits away from the moderating influence of the Great Salt Lake, its winters are slightly drier and its temperature swings more dramatic than other Salt Lake suburbs. Average temperatures range from 30–50 °F in winter to 80–100 °F in summer, with monsoonal thunderstorms in July and August and regular snow from November through March. Our Landscape Design offerings are crafted for this cool‑to‑warm semi‑arid environment: we build water‑wise landscapes that stay lush through hot, dry spells, include rain‑capture and drainage systems for sudden storms, and choose materials that endure freeze‑thaw cycles. Whether you’re updating a foothill home or a new build near the tech hub at the Point, we create outdoor spaces that stand up to Draper’s dynamic climate.
Paver Installation That Holds Up to Utah Winters
Poured concrete cracks. In Utah's freeze-thaw climate — where ground temperatures swing from single digits in January to 95°F in July — concrete expands and contracts until it fails. Paver systems flex with those temperature changes. Individual units can shift slightly without cracking, and if one does get damaged, it can be replaced without demolishing the whole surface.
We've installed pavers for 93 projects across the Salt Lake Valley — patios, driveways, pool decks, walkways, and retaining wall caps. The key to a paver installation that lasts is what you can't see: proper base depth, compaction, and edge restraints. We build ours to last, which is why we've been installing pavers in Utah since 2007.
We work with Belgard, Unilock, EP Henry, and Techo-Bloc. Most HOA communities in Draper, South Jordan, and Herriman accept these brands — we can verify your HOA's approved materials list before design is finalized.
What's Included in a Paver Installation Project
- Site measurement and design — We measure the space, review grade and drainage, and help you select pattern, color, and border options.
- Excavation — 8–12 inches of excavation depending on application (more for driveways, less for walkways). All material hauled off-site.
- Base installation — Compacted road base in 3–4 inch lifts, verified with a plate compactor. The base is the most important part of any paver job.
- Edge restraints — Aluminum or plastic edge restraint spiked into the base keeps the field from spreading. Required on all four sides.
- Sand bedding layer — One inch of coarse bedding sand screeded perfectly level. Pavers are set into this layer.
- Paver installation — Hand-laid to pattern, cut to fit at borders, compacted into the sand bed with a plate compactor and rubber pad.
- Polymeric sand — Joint sand swept in and activated with water. Locks joints, resists weeds and ants, and stabilizes the surface.
- Sealer (optional) — Penetrating or film-forming sealer enhances color and protects against staining. Recommended every 3–5 years.
Paver Cost in the Salt Lake Valley
Paver installation cost in Utah depends on area, paver type, base depth, and project complexity:
- Paver patio (standard Belgard or EP Henry, 200–400 sq ft): $18–$28 per square foot installed
- Paver driveway (standard, 400–800 sq ft): $22–$35 per square foot (deeper base required)
- Paver walkway: $20–$30 per square foot
- Premium pavers (Techo-Bloc, large format, tumbled): Add $5–$10 per square foot
A typical 300 sq ft patio with standard Belgard pavers runs $6,000–$9,000 installed. A full driveway replacement can run $15,000–$35,000 depending on size and paver selection. Free estimates are available — we'll measure and give you an exact price.
Paver Types, Brands, and Materials: How to Choose
The paver market offers more options than most homeowners expect — and the right choice depends on application, budget, and design goals.
Concrete pavers (Belgard, Techo-Bloc, EP Henry) are the most common choice in the Salt Lake Valley. They are manufactured to tight tolerances, available in hundreds of colors and textures, and hold up well through Utah's UV exposure and freeze-thaw cycles. Belgard and Techo-Bloc both offer premium large-format options for a more modern look.
Travertine stays cooler underfoot than concrete in direct sun — a meaningful advantage around pools. It requires sealing in Utah's climate to prevent mineral deposits and freeze-thaw damage to the naturally porous surface.
Porcelain pavers are the most low-maintenance option — no sealing required, virtually no staining, and a consistent finish. They require a more precise installation (tighter tolerances than concrete pavers) and a higher material budget, but hold their appearance well over time.
Natural flagstone (sandstone, slate, quartzite) gives each project a handmade character. No two pieces are identical. Base preparation is equally important — natural stone is not more forgiving of a poor base than concrete pavers.
Paver Patterns and Design: What the Layout Does to the Space
Pattern choice affects how a space feels as much as what material you use. A few patterns and where they work:
Running bond (bricks offset like a standard wall) is the most common and works well everywhere. Clean, modern, directional — the direction of the joint lines can make a narrow space feel wider or a short space feel longer.
Herringbone is the strongest pattern for driveways. The 45° or 90° interlocking layout distributes load across more joint lines, which is why it was used for thousands of years in European cobblestone streets. If you have a paver driveway, herringbone is the pattern we recommend.
Basketweave has a classic, traditional look. It reads best in wider spaces — in a narrow walkway it can feel busy.
Soldier course border is not a full pattern — it is a single row of pavers laid perpendicular to the main field, used as an edge treatment. It defines the boundary of the paved area and elevates the overall installation significantly. We recommend a soldier course border on virtually every patio and driveway project.
Pavers as Part of a Complete Hardscape System in Draper
Paver patios, driveways, and walkways rarely exist in isolation on the properties we build in Draper. They connect to retaining walls that manage grade change, steps that transition between levels, seating walls that define outdoor rooms, and drainage systems that carry water away from the foundation and finished surfaces. When these elements are designed and built together under one contract, the grade, drainage, and visual flow are coordinated from the start — not retrofitted around each other.
Pitt Landscape & Construction has completed 73 paver installation projects across the Salt Lake Valley representing over $1 million in installed paver work. Our licensed general contractor status covers the full scope — excavation, base preparation, paver installation, retaining structures, and surrounding softscape — with a single point of accountability.
