Porcelain Paver Installation

What This Service Involves

Porcelain pavers are fired at extreme temperatures into a dense, nearly nonporous 20mm tile that barely absorbs water, so they resist the moss, algae, and staining that challenge natural stone in our climate. They come in realistic wood-plank, concrete, and stone looks with color baked all the way through, so the surface never fades under UV or years of Northwest weather. The low absorption means they clean easily and dry fast, an obvious advantage on rainy patios and around pools. We can set them on a compacted base with pedestal systems on decks and rooftops, or on a traditional aggregate base for grade-level patios.

Benefits

Nearly nonporous and highly stain resistant; Naturally shrugs off moss, algae, and mildew; Fade-proof color under UV and weather; Realistic wood, stone, and concrete looks; Extremely low maintenance and easy to clean

Our Process

1) Confirm layout, look, and drainage method; 2) Build a compacted base or set pedestals; 3) Screed bedding or level pedestal heads; 4) Set porcelain pavers with consistent joint spacers; 5) Fill joints and finish edges as required

What Affects the Cost

Porcelain style, finish, and format; Square footage and layout detail; Base build versus pedestal system; Cutting labor for a hard material; Site access and delivery distance

Best Time of Year

Installable nearly year-round given its low absorption, though a dry base window from spring to fall gives the best results.
