Brick Patio Installation
Pavestone is a brick patio contractor and installer that can design and create patios with interlocking brick pavers from Unilock. Brick pavers from Unilock are made from brick and concrete which makes them strong and durable, and they are treated with surface coatings that help the pavers resist dirt, weathering, and stains. They are available in many shapes, sizes, and textures and they can be laid in a variety of patterns to create a unique look for your patio.
You can choose from classic brick pavers including cobblestone and traditional brick as well as more modern and unconventional shapes. Unilock brick pavers come in a wide array of colors for a neutral, warm, cool, bold, or bright color palette. The brick pavers are installed to interlock with each other to create a strong surface that can handle heavy loads from outdoor furniture, grills, and vehicles. We are also a brick patio installer of permeable pavers that allow water to seep into the base material between the pavers and reach the soil underneath.
Patio Repair and Maintenance Services
While natural stone and brick paver patios are quite durable, they may still weather, fade, or become damaged over time. Our professionals at Pavestone provide patio repair and maintenance services to restore the appearance of your patio and provide repairs as needed.
Our patio repair and maintenance services consist of the following:
- Repairs, re-sets, re-level: We can repair or replace broken pavers, re-level uneven surfaces, and re-set pavers that have become loose.
- Seal coating: We can apply seal coatings that help prevent dirt buildup, stains, and weathering to preserve the color and texture of the pavers.
- Cleaning and power washing: Power washing the patio surface will remove dirt buildup from the pavers to restore their color and appearance.

We just had our old concrete patio replaced with a beautiful paver patio and we LOVE it! We used Mario who was wonderful, and I would highly recommend! He was extremely responsive to our phone calls and questions and everyone we worked with was extremely professional. Mario sat with me for over an hour as we made our decision on the perfect stones to match our yard and the siding and roof, and when it came time to do the installation, the staff couldn’t have been nicer and efficient! We love our patio so much and had such a great experience that we want to add on a fire pit, seating area, and built in grill for next year!

Ricky and his crew truly delivered. From the planning stages through completion Ricky was responsive, timely and gave us a clear expectation of all aspects of the project. The project started on time and finished on schedule. The installation crew did a great job making sure everything was done right and kept everything as clean and organized as possible while the project was going. We are thrilled with our new patio.
Geoffrey Sobieski
Mario at Pavestone is the best. He was a pleasure to work with. We didn’t know exactly what we wanted in a paver patio but Mario was patient with us and talked through a few designs, showed us the unilock catalog and helped us narrow it down. He gave insightful recommendations and never made us feel rushed or pressured and definitely no upselling!!! If you want proper old school customer service just ask for Mario. Once we scheduled the work, they had a crew of about 5 or 6 and it only took them 4 days. The attention to detail was wonderful. They laid down plywood to make sure they didn’t destroy the grass in-between the house. They were prompt and cleaned up every day. They did a fantastic job and did not rush through any of it. We couldn’t be happier. We LOVE our beautiful patio from Pavestone!

Brick and stone pavers are both excellent options for patios because both pavers are durable and available in a wide range of colors, shapes, and styles which gives you a lot of creative freedom with designing your patio.
Brick pavers are manufactured by mixing clay with sand and lime and they are fired and glazed to create the final product. They come in many colors, shapes, and styles and can be arranged to create unique patterns. You can also build features like walls, steps, pillars, and plant beds with brick pavers. Brick patios are durable but must be flat and level, so they are safe for walking.
Stone pavers can be made from various natural stones such as sandstone, granite, and limestone and they come in a variety of shapes, colors, sizes, and textures. You also have a lot of creative freedom when it comes to building stone patios and unlike brick pavers, natural stone pavers are not uniform in size, resulting in a unique aesthetic.
