We specialize in outdoor remodeling including:
All projects are managed in-house from design to installation.
We recommend booking your project at least 5 to 8 weeks in advance. This allows time for planning, material selections, and scheduling.
We work with premium, heat-resistant, and slip-resistant materials suited for Florida’s climate. Common materials include:
Our standard payment schedule is:
This structure helps ensure timelines stay on track and materials are secured early.
Pavers installed correctly should never grow weeds from below. Proper installation requires a minimum of 4” to 6” of heavily compacted base material, thus preventing any undesired growth from below. Sometimes, weeds can grow within the TOP layer of the joint sand. This happens when seeds or spores lodge in the joints between pavers.
A remedy for minor weed growth is a weed killer from any hardware or gardening store. This is acceptable for spot treatment only. If weed growth extends throughout multiple joints, you may wish to seek consultation from a professional.
Pavers are known to last longer than concrete. This is due to their flexibility when surrounding soils naturally settle. With proper installation we use a heavy-duty plate compactor. Using this tool allows for proper compaction and eliminates future settling as much as possible. Conversely, concrete does not offer the same flexibility. Concrete is notorious for hairline cracks due to soil settlement. Over time as more settling occurs, the cracks become larger. This causes more potential issues as well as cosmetic unsightliness.
From a design perspective, pavers have a multitude of style and color options. This creates a polished, unique design, distinguishing yourself from neighbors. As stamped concrete becomes increasingly popular, there are less style options available. Stamped concrete has the same cracking problems, only it is more visible, thus making it even more unattractive. If you choose concrete, please keep in mind cracking WILL occur no matter what!
This is called efflorescence. This comes from the pavers themselves and has nothing to do with installation. There is no way to prevent this, as it is a natural occurrence. This comes from minerals found inside the pavers. Fortunately, it is only temporary and usually has no long-lasting effect.
The construction process has many moving parts including but not limited to: excavation, moving bulk materials, gravel, sand, medium to large machinery, many pallets of pavers, and materials weighing thousands of pounds. Our years of experience allow us to be very efficient and organized throughout this process. Organization is extremely important to us, as we go through the steps needed to complete the work.
At Pure Hardscapes, it is our mission to plan for every possible detail from start to finish. This includes anything needed to ensure it looks as if “we were never there”. Remember, our process can also be controlled by HOA procedures. This can potentially dictate where we can stage materials, etc. Questions concerning stages of materials and development can also be assessed throughout.
Here’s what a typical process looks like:
You’ll also get access to our JobTread Client Portal for daily updates, schedules, and direct communication with our team.
Every timeline depends on scope and weather conditions, but we keep you updated daily.
We remodel outdoor spaces across:
Southern Lee County and nearby areas
Most communities with an active HOA may require an application process to seek approval of our work. Pure Hardscapes is familiar with these processes and requirements. Every HOA has different guidelines and restrictions. If you are in a community that has an HOA we will assist as much as possible throughout your application process.
Pure Hardscapes always recommends sealing your new pavers. Using a quality sealer will enhance the look by bringing out the colors in all the pavers. It also helps protect your pavers from fading and staining. Sealing does not necessarily improve the structure or longevity of the pavers. However, it is always highly recommended.
Most porcelain pavers are slip resistant and outdoor rated.
3cm vehicular porcelain pavers feature an incredible 55,000 PSI giving them incredible strength over time. If installed properly, the pavers will not crack.
We use pet-safe turf systems with proper drainage and odor-reducing infill. Many of our clients choose turf specifically because of how well it holds up to pets.
We generally do not recommend installing pavers directly over an existing concrete driveway as a standard overlay. However, mud-setting natural stone pavers is an acceptable installation method when properly prepared.
