“We got three bids for putting pavers in place of our pebbled concrete sidewalk. Viking was the lowest in price, but we also felt comfortable with Karen Skinner, the project manager.

We had some time constraints and Viking worked around those. Gustavo and his crew did a beautiful job, just as we wanted. They added a curved edge to part of the sidewalk, filled in the walkway to our front patio, and redid our front stairs with a beautiful bullnose step. In addition, they added 6″ of width to the sidewalk.

Karen was in contact with us throughout the project, responding if we had any questions. Crew members were polite and worked hard. We are very happy with the outcome and recommend Viking Pavers/Karen Skinner highly.”

Driveways

It’s safe to say the most underrated space, and perhaps the most used outdoor space of your home, is the driveway. Busy lifestyles demand you step in and out of your home multiple times a day–grocery shopping, taking the kids to school, recreational activities, or heading to work. A well-constructed driveway is perfect for helping you zoom in and without worrying about tripping on ridges or your car getting stuck.

What’s more, a striking driveway adds to the overall appearance of your home and makes it look even more inviting. With Vikings Pavers, you can customize your driveway by choosing a unique pattern, style, and color to coordinate with your home. These driveways are installed to last and come with a 25-year warranty on the installation and a lifetime warranty on the material.

Retaining Walls

You can choose a simple retaining wall or pick multi-dimensional free-standing structures that serve multiple purposes while enhancing your home’s overall appearance. These walls are installed in segments, so they’re done faster and more efficiently.

Designed to stand the test of time, they’re a great addition to any home with the risk of loose soil slipping into the yard. The walls are sturdy, appealing, and crafted to perfection creating a beautiful outdoor space for you and your family to enjoy.

Why Pavers?

Pavers offer a wide variety of benefits that asphalt and concrete cannot, making them a superior choice for numerous hardscaping and masonry construction projects, including driveways, patios, walkways, retaining walls, fire pits, and more.

Unlike concrete, which will crack over time, our pavers maintain their strength and appearance, making them the ideal hardscape solution. Paving stones are four times stronger (8,000 psi) and are earthquake-resistant due to the flexibility provided by the joint sand.

Repairing concrete slab is a challenge. Weather conditions have a big impact on concrete color and texture, which is why patch jobs never look right.

On the other hand, repairing a paver installation is a breeze. All we have to do is replace the damaged blocks. It takes a fraction of the time and won’t stick out like a sore thumb.

If you ever need to access the pipes below your paver driveway or patio, it’s also easy to “unzip” your pavers to provide access. That can save you thousands during an irrigation installation or sewer repair.

Transforming your home or property is effortless with our extensive selection of materials, patterns, colors, and textures, allowing you to create a stunning and personalized look that you’ll love.

When it comes to outdoor spaces, concrete interlocking pavers, and porcelain pavers shine as top choices due to their remarkable durability and aesthetic appeal. They stand up brilliantly against water, heat, and stains, making them a smart and stylish investment for your home. Concrete interlocking pavers are guaranteed for life against cracking or spalling. Unlike wood, which can decay over time, and poured concrete, which is prone to cracking, pavers hold strong no matter the weather. Additionally, while some natural stones can attract mold and mildew, pavers resist these issues thanks to their less porous nature. Maintaining their beauty is a breeze—a simple sweep or hosing down is all it takes. Opt for pavers and enjoy a maintenance-free outdoor experience!

Pavers are arguably the best investment in hardscaping materials, delivering impressive returns. They elevate your home’s curb appeal and transform your backyard into an inviting oasis, enhancing the visual charm of your landscape. Such appealing features are sure to attract potential buyers and increase your property value.

Poured concrete has an average lifespan of about 25 years. However, cracks can appear within months, making repairs difficult, and the appearance can quickly look worn. You’ll also have a hard time finding any contractors willing to warranty poured concrete against cracking at all.

On the other hand, paver installations can easily last upwards of 50 years with only basic maintenance. Viking Pavers proudly offers a 30-year workmanship warranty and a lifetime warranty material warranty.

Our Paver Installation Process

Whether we’re installing a driveway, patio, walkway, pool deck, or retaining wall, every project follows a proven process designed to maximize durability, appearance, and long-term performance. Proper preparation is the foundation of every successful paver installation, which is why we never cut corners during construction.

We remove the existing hardscape material and excavate the area to a depth of
10” for driveways & 8” for walkways patios from final grade, removing all unstable
ground. Exceeding our competitors and ICPI standards.
Grades will be set for proper drainage, drain pipes, downspout tie-ins and future
lines will be installed. We install a GeotexTM fabric to stabilize the native soils and
prevent undulations in all areas. Exceeding our competitors and ICPI standards.
We install 4 5/8” or 6.5/8’’ for vehicle traffic areas of Class II base over the entire
paver area, which creates a stable yet flexible foundation.
Using a plate vibrator, we compact the class II base to a density of 98% to create a
firm foundation and eliminate the possibilities of sagging.
The area is evenly covered with 1” of specially manufactured bedding sand and is
smoothed out utilizing a screeding process. This sharp angled sand acts as a
cushion for the pavers and creates the interlocking mechanism system.
The stones of your choice are individually laid by our craftsman to create the
everlasting image of your dreams.
All edge stones are cut with a masonry saw, utilizing a diamond carbide blade.
This way we create clean, accurate edges for the desired shape of your project.

A concrete footing is laid around the edges to prevent lateral movement of the
sand set field stones. Border stones are then wet set on top of this footing.

The pavers are plate vibrated into the 1″ bedding sand to begin the interlocking
process.
Polymeric sand is swept and compacted into all paver joints. Which enhances the
interlocking process. and sets up like a flexible grout. We use polymeric sand on
all our installations as it is a best build practice.
One final time, the project area is plate vibrated to ensure the sand fills the entire
joints, and the pavers system is completely interlocked.
