FAQs
Simone & Sons Landscape Construction
How long does it take to install a paver patio, walkway, wall, or driveway?
Residential hardscaping projects typically require 3-7 days for completion, with duration varying based on project size, design complexity, existing site conditions, and weather factors. Simple walkways may be completed in just a few days, while more extensive installations such as large patios, driveways with integrated walls, or projects requiring significant drainage work might extend beyond a week.How long do pavers last?
With professional installation, both concrete and natural stone pavers deliver exceptional longevity, typically lasting 25-50 years or longer. Unlike solid surfaces such as poured concrete or asphalt, pavers resist cracking because their segmented design allows them to flex with ground movement and seasonal changes, making them a durable, long-term investment for your property.Do pavers require a lot of maintenance?
Pavers are inherently low maintenance hardscape elements. Regular care typically involves simple tasks such as occasional sweeping, periodic rinsing, and replenishing joint sand when needed. While sealing is optional, we recommend it to enhance color retention, provide protection against staining, and minimize weed growth between pavers.Can pavers be installed over my existing concrete or asphalt?
Overlay installations are possible in certain situations, depending primarily on the condition and slope of your existing surface. Since a proper foundation is essential for long-term performance, our team conducts a thorough site evaluation to determine whether the existing surface can serve as a suitable base or if removal is necessary to ensure a stable, high-quality installation that will endure for decades.Are paver driveways strong enough for vehicles?
Paver driveways are specifically engineered to support substantial vehicle weight when installed with appropriate base depth and materials. Many property owners find that paver driveways actually outperform traditional concrete surfaces because if damage occurs to individual units, those specific pavers can be replaced without disturbing the entire driveway.What types of pavers and materials do you offer?
Our selection encompasses diverse options including concrete pavers, natural stone varieties, and segmental wall systems available in numerous colors, shapes, textures, and pattern configurations. Our experienced team provides guidance in selecting materials that will complement your home's architecture, align with your budget requirements, and enhance your overall landscape design.Will weeds grow between the pavers?
Professional installation methods substantially minimize weed growth potential. Our installation process incorporates a thoroughly compacted base, secure edge restraints, and application of polymeric sand that forms a semi-rigid barrier to discourage weeds and insects while maintaining proper drainage characteristics throughout the paved surface.Do you handle drainage and grading issues?
Effective drainage management is fundamental to every hardscaping project we undertake. Our designs for patios, walkways, walls, and driveways incorporate precise grading calculations and appropriate drainage solutions to prevent water accumulation, control erosion, and protect against structural damage that could otherwise develop over time.Are retaining walls just decorative, or do they serve a purpose?
Retaining walls serve both functional and aesthetic purposes in landscape design. These structures effectively stabilize sloped areas, prevent soil erosion, manage water runoff patterns, and create additional usable outdoor space. Beyond these practical benefits, they also provide natural seating opportunities and enhance overall property appearance.Do you offer warranties on your hardscaping work?
Our installations include comprehensive workmanship warranties as we fully stand behind the quality of our craftsmanship and materials. Additionally, many of the paver manufacturers we partner with provide product-specific warranties, offering our customers multiple layers of protection and confidence in their investment.
