Pool Deck Pavers

Pool areas require materials that can handle moisture, sun exposure, and constant foot traffic. Pavers are an excellent choice because they remain attractive, provide good traction, and can be repaired without replacing large sections of the deck.

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.

“I had a great experience with Karen discussing my initial thoughts on the scope of work. After discussion, we had plans for a new driveway, patio, and walkway. Karen was very helpful throughout the planning process. The install team was efficient too. I love the way the project came together.”

How Peninsula Weather Affects Outdoor Hardscapes

San Bruno’s location on the Peninsula creates unique conditions that homeowners should consider when planning a new driveway, patio, or walkway. While the area doesn’t experience the extreme freeze-thaw cycles found in colder climates, seasonal rain, coastal moisture, and varying soil conditions can still impact the long-term performance of outdoor hardscapes.

One of the biggest factors we consider during a paver installation is drainage. Winter storms can deliver significant rainfall throughout San Mateo County, making proper grading and water management essential. Without adequate drainage, water can collect beneath hardscape surfaces, potentially leading to settling, uneven areas, or erosion over time.

at the installation of this paver walkway drainage was the most important factor

Coastal air and frequent moisture exposure can also take a toll on traditional concrete surfaces. Many homeowners throughout San Bruno choose pavers because individual units can flex with minor ground movement and can be repaired without replacing an entire slab. This makes pavers particularly well-suited for properties that may experience natural settling over the years.

Sun exposure is another important consideration. South-facing patios and driveways can experience significant temperature fluctuations throughout the year. Selecting high-quality paver materials and installing them on a properly compacted base helps ensure the finished surface maintains its appearance and structural integrity for decades.

At Viking Pavers, we design every installation with local conditions in mind. From evaluating drainage patterns to building a stable foundation beneath the pavers, our goal is to create outdoor spaces that perform well through San Bruno’s rainy winters, dry summers, and everything in between. Proper preparation today helps protect your investment for years to come. Check out this paver driveway and walkway transformation project, our team finished in San Bruno.

Why Pavers?

Pavers are the superior choice for pool decks. Unlike natural stone, pavers won’t discolor, crack, or develop mold and mildew, and they require much less maintenance. In contrast to concrete, which is prone to cracking over time, our pavers maintain both 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 expensive and will always look patched.. 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 pool plumbing under your pavers, it’s also easy to “unzip” your pavers to provide access. That can save you thousands during a pool or drainage repair.

With a wide variety of materials, patterns, colors, and textures available, achieving the perfect look for your home or property is easy. Segmental block walls can be customized to match your aesthetic preferences. They can be easily curved and will not crack., unlike poured concrete walls.

Segmental block walls are virtually maintenance-free they are designed and built to last for many years.

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.
