Pavers can be a timeless addition to your landscaping. They have been installed for centuries and continue to bring beauty and functionality to AZ landscapes.
Pavers are a versatile and cost effective product that comes in a variety of colors, sizes, and finishes. Paver driveways, walkways, and patios are all possibilities in your landscaping.
Brick pavers are commonly confused with concrete pavers although they are a different product all together. They are an historic building product that comes in a variety of colors and finishes. 4×8 is the standard size for brick pavers.
Concrete pavers are the most common and well-known type of paver. They are also the most cost effective paver option which is part of the reason they are so popular. Belgard and Pavestone are the two largest paver companies, while AZBlock, Phoenix Pavers, Ackerstone are also paver company options. Multiple sizes and styles are available to suit any landscape style.
Travertine pavers are one of the most popular options for pool decks and backyard landscaping. Large format travertine pavers can bring the inside outdoors for a seamless transition to your patio.
Porcelain pavers are another way to improve your landscape. They make a dramatic statement so the patio itself can be a focal point of the landscape design with little else.
Stone pavers have a distinct look and are available in several sizes. Stone pavers can have specialty finishes added to them like sandblasted, brushed, and flamed. Stone pavers are not as common as concrete pavers or travertine pavers.
Artistic pavers are a man-made product that has an appearance and texture that is a cross between travertine pavers and stone pavers.
Any type of pavers can be used around pools, but travertine pavers and stone pavers are the most common in pool and landscaping designs. Travertine pool coping comes in different thicknesses and can be bullnose or a square edge. Concrete paver pool coping is normally bullnose. Since pool pavers are so versatile with so many options, they can accommodate any design and installation.
Paver driveways in Scottsdale and Paradise Valley are commonplace. A concrete paver driveway installation cost is competitive with colored concrete, but offers many more advantages. Future repairs and maintenance are practically non-existent and its timeless style ensures years of enjoyment.
Pavers and turf make a great combination. Whether it is travertine pavers and turf or concrete pavers and turf, the color contrast adds a dramatic effect to the landscape design.
Pavers bring style and texture to otherwise boring backyard landscaping. A simple paver design and installation can bring a backyard landscape to life and make it much more presentable.
Paver walkways are another creative landscaping technique to add interest to small areas and keep the landscape design theme flowing throughout the entire backyard. New landscaping or backyard landscaping remodels can both benefit from paver walkways.
Pavers can be used as pool coping also. Most concrete pavers, travertine pavers, and stone pavers have multiple coping options. In the event a paver is not available our paver installation crews can fabricate the paver coping needed in many cases. Paver pool coping is available in multiple thicknesses, sizes, and shapes.

We first must analyze the job site. Although the installation methods may be the same, every paver install is different since each landscape has unique characteristics. At this time we do any demo or removal of plants, rock or sod. We install sleeves for future irrigation, low voltage lighting, and landscaping.
Finding the proper elevation is quite possibly the most important part of a paver installation. This step is where we determine the slope of the pavers and the proper height for the landscape. Many paver installers will struggle with this phase, but after 20 years in business we have the experience and knowledge to eliminate any problems.
The base is the foundation of the paver installation. The type of base we use is determined by the type of paver install and the soil type in your area. Different parts of AZ have different soils types that may require deeper foundations.
Sand under the pavers has 2 purposes. The first is to create a level surface to sand set the pavers and keep a level surface. The second reason is to create strength by being forced into the joints from the bottom during the compaction phase. It is important to understand how interlocking pavers work in order to have a proper paver installation.
This is the fastest and easiest part of the paver installation if the previous phases are done correctly. When the actual pavers are set, the paver driveway, walkway, or patio starts to take shape. Up to this phase, none of the cosmetic portions of the paver job has taken place.
Cutting pavers can be loud and dirty, but it is a necessary part of pavers. Experienced paver installers can make precision cuts to keep gaps minimal.
Paver borders can be different widths or decorative. Borders are important since they hold everything together. Any professional paver installer will have paver borders in some form. We use different borders depending on the paver design.
Part of a standard paver installation is compaction. This is not to level pavers, but to force the pavers into the sand bed underneath as well as force the sand from above into the paver joints.
No Paver install is complete without proper clean up. This is one of the many areas some paver companies will not do cut costs. We believe any in full service and do not cut corners.
Paver installations can vary in cost drastically depending on the size and type of job, site prep required, as well as type of paver. Large concrete paver driveway installations are usually the least expensive while specialty pavers and porcelain pavers installations can exceed twenty dollars per square foot. Some paver installers still charge by the foot, but the most accurate way to price pavers is by the job since every jobsite has unique landscape variables.
Everything is hot during the AZ summers, but travertine pavers, Artistic pavers, and some stone pavers are considerably cooler than other materials
Not in most cases, but there are some regulations in some cities that paver installation companies in Scottsdale should be aware of.
Yes. We install pavers in Scottsdale, Paradise Valley, Phoenix, and several other cities in AZ.
Travertine pavers and stone pavers will not fade since they are a natural material. Concrete pavers can fade over time, but not enough to need replacement. It will only be noticeable after several years if you look at them next to a new paver.
It is a common misconception that water soaks through pavers. In reality, only about 5% of water will permeate through the pavers.
Travertine pavers are in the middle of the price spectrum of paver installation cost.

We engaged them to remove and replace our backyard patios and install a beautiful pergola. Tony oversaw our project, and he was exceptional! I had ideas but Tony brought wonderful suggestions regarding both design and materials. Our backyard has truly been transformed.

Wow! What an amazing job they all did (Chris, office staff & laborers)! They were all so professional and hard-working and made sure every detail we wanted done was taken care of in a timely manner. We also added some additional work in the front yard once they got started. Our back yard is so beautiful and now a true outdoor living space. We still can't believe it's our yard when we look out the windows
Chris emulated the project perfectly by getting Phoenix permits handled, tapping into a pre-existing gas line, extending the gas 70 feet and building a beautiful flagstone fire pit with boulders complete with new electrical outlets. The project turned out exactly as expected and we're pleased with a whole new area of our yard. Additionally, as the projected wrapped up there was a loosely-related electrical issue and he responded quickly to the problem after he had been paid, which is uncommon and highly appreciated.
I 100% recommend Lone Star for your landscaping needs! They are easy to talk to, professional, and very knowledgeable about how to create a fabulous looking yard. Looking forward to seeing how it will look in a year once the plants have had a chance to grow a bit!
