Meet Taylor Paver Pros
Taylor Paver Pros was built by a team of local installers who got tired of seeing homeowners in Taylor stuck with cracked concrete, sinking walkways, and driveways that just couldn't handle Michigan's freeze thaw cycles year after year.
Over the past 10+ years, we've focused on one thing: installing pavers that are built to last, not just to look good for a season or two. That means proper excavation, a solid compacted base, and materials chosen specifically for the way our winters and springs treat outdoor surfaces here in Taylor.
We specialize in paver patios, driveways, walkways, pool decks, retaining walls, and fire pits, and we've completed more than 300 projects for homeowners throughout Taylor and the surrounding Downriver area.
Homeowners choose us because we show up when we say we will, we explain every step of the process in plain language, and we back our installations with real workmanship guarantees, not vague promises. When you call us, you're talking to someone who actually installs the pavers, not a call center reading from a script.

Common Paver Problems We Fix
Cracked and Sinking Concrete
Many homes in Taylor still have original poured concrete driveways, patios, and walkways that were never designed to handle decades of Michigan's freeze thaw cycles. When water gets underneath a concrete slab and freezes, it expands and pushes the slab upward or causes it to crack. Over time, this leads to uneven surfaces, trip hazards, and cracks that only get wider and deeper with every passing winter. Left unaddressed, sinking concrete can also allow water to pool near your foundation, which creates a much bigger and more expensive problem down the road.
The permanent fix is replacing that concrete with interlocking pavers set on a properly compacted base. Because pavers are individual units rather than one solid slab, they flex slightly with ground movement instead of cracking, and any minor settling can be corrected by lifting and resetting a few pavers rather than tearing out an entire section. This gives Taylor homeowners a surface that's built to handle our climate for decades, not just a few seasons.
Outdated or Deteriorating Outdoor Living Spaces
A lot of homeowners in Taylor are working with backyard patios, walkways, or fire pit areas that were installed decades ago and simply haven't held up, or that were never finished in a way that makes the space enjoyable to use. Cracked, stained, or mismatched surfaces make it hard to actually enjoy your backyard, and they can also hurt your home's resale value if you're thinking about selling in the future.
We work with homeowners to redesign these spaces from the ground up, incorporating paver patios, retaining walls, and fire pits that are cohesive, durable, and actually functional for entertaining, relaxing, or spending time with family. Because we handle the full range of paver services, we can design a space that ties your patio, walkway, and fire pit together into one unified outdoor living area instead of a patchwork of mismatched projects.
Sinking or Shifting Driveways
A driveway takes more punishment than almost any other surface on your property, between vehicle weight, snow plows, and road salt exposure throughout the winter. When a paver or concrete driveway wasn't installed with a deep enough compacted gravel base, it starts to sink and shift under that repeated load, creating dips, uneven sections, and eventually cracks that let water infiltrate even further.
Our driveway installations start with excavating several inches deeper than many contractors bother with, then building up a properly compacted road base gravel foundation before a single paver goes down. This base is what actually carries the weight of your vehicles, and it's the difference between a driveway that lasts 5 years and one that lasts 25.
Poor Drainage and Standing Water
A surprising number of paver and concrete surfaces around Taylor were installed without the correct slope, which causes water to pool after rain instead of draining away. Standing water on a patio or walkway isn't just inconvenient, it accelerates erosion of the base material underneath, contributes to mold and algae growth on the surface, and can create dangerously slick spots, especially in shaded areas.
We solve this by properly grading the base during installation, typically at a slope of about one quarter inch per foot away from the home, so water is directed exactly where it should go. For homeowners dealing with an existing surface that holds water, we can often regrade and relay the affected pavers without needing to replace the entire project.
Weeds and Grass Growing Through Joints
Older paver installations, and especially DIY jobs, often lack proper edge restraints or polymeric sand in the joints. Without these, weeds and grass seeds find their way between the pavers, take root, and slowly push the stones apart. Not only does this look unkempt, it also accelerates shifting and instability in the entire installation, since the joints are no longer locked tight.
When we install or repair a paver surface, we use polymeric sand specifically designed to harden in the joints and resist weed growth, combined with properly installed edge restraints that keep the entire pattern locked in place. This combination dramatically reduces the maintenance homeowners need to do and keeps the surface looking clean season after season.
Why Taylor Homeowners Choose Taylor Paver Pros
Choosing the right paver contractor matters, especially when you're investing in a project meant to last for decades, not just a few seasons. Here's what sets us apart from other contractors working in the Downriver area.
Built for Michigan Weather
Southeast Michigan puts outdoor surfaces through a lot. Between hard winter freezes, spring thaws, heavy snow loads, and the road salt that inevitably splashes onto driveways and walkways, a poorly built paver project can start showing problems within just a couple of years.
Every project we install accounts for these conditions from the ground up. That means excavating to the proper depth, using a compacted road base gravel foundation rated for our climate, and selecting materials that hold their color and structural integrity through repeated freeze thaw cycles. We don't cut corners that lead to cracking, shifting, or sinking down the road, because we know exactly what Michigan winters do to shortcuts.
Straightforward Communication
One of the biggest complaints homeowners have about contractors is simply not knowing what's going on. We do things differently. From your first phone call through the final walkthrough, you'll get clear timelines, honest and detailed pricing with no hidden surprises, and a team that actually picks up the phone or calls back promptly.
We treat every property we work on with the same care and respect we'd want for our own home, which means protecting your landscaping during the project, keeping the job site clean, and making sure you always know what to expect next.
Workmanship You Can Count On
Anyone can promise quality work. We back ours up with real workmanship guarantees, because we stand fully behind every patio, driveway, walkway, retaining wall, and fire pit we install. If something isn't right, we make it right, plain and simple.
That level of accountability is exactly why so much of our business comes from referrals and repeat customers. When homeowners trust us with their property once, they tend to call us again for the next project, and they tell their neighbors about us too.
Frequently Asked Questions
How long does a paver installation typically take?
The timeline depends on the size and complexity of your project. A standard paver patio or walkway usually takes between 2 and 4 days from excavation to final cleanup, while a full driveway replacement can take 3 to 5 days depending on square footage and any drainage work involved. Larger projects that combine multiple services, like a patio with a retaining wall and fire pit, may take a week or more. We'll give you a realistic timeline during your free estimate so you know exactly what to expect before work begins.
How much does a paver project cost?
Cost depends on several factors, including the square footage of the project, the type of paver material you choose, site conditions like grading and drainage needs, and any additional features such as a retaining wall or built-in fire pit. Because every property and project is different, we provide free, no-obligation on-site estimates so you get an accurate number based on your actual yard, not a generic online calculator. We're always upfront about pricing and will walk you through exactly what's included.
Will pavers crack or shift during Michigan winters?
When installed correctly, pavers are actually one of the best options for withstanding Michigan's freeze thaw cycles, since individual units can shift slightly with ground movement without cracking the way a solid concrete slab does. The key is a properly excavated and compacted base, which is something we never skip on any project. If a paver does ever become uneven over time, it can typically be lifted and reset individually rather than requiring a full replacement, which is a major advantage over concrete.
What areas do you serve besides Taylor?
While we're based right here in Taylor, we regularly take on projects throughout the surrounding Downriver area. That includes homeowners in Southgate, Allen Park, Lincoln Park, Wyandotte, Dearborn Heights, Romulus, and Woodhaven, along with many of the other nearby Downriver communities. If you're located in or around the greater Taylor area and aren't sure whether we cover your neighborhood, give us a call. We're happy to confirm and get you scheduled for a free estimate.
Do I need a permit for a paver patio or driveway in Taylor?
In many cases, smaller projects like paver patios and walkways don't require a permit, but driveway replacements and certain retaining wall heights often do, depending on the specifics of your property and the City of Taylor's current requirements. We handle the permitting process for you whenever one is needed, so you don't have to navigate city paperwork on your own. If you're ever unsure, feel free to call us and we can let you know what your specific project will require.
