With more than 20 years of experience serving Bay Area homeowners, our team combines custom design with professional site preparation and installation to create hardscapes that look great and perform for years.

Whether you’re replacing an aging concrete driveway, creating a backyard patio, upgrading a pool area, or transforming your entire outdoor space, we handle the planning and construction details for you. Our team considers your property’s existing landscaping, drainage, elevations, access, and architecture when developing your project.

Paver Driveways in San Pablo

Your driveway is one of the most visible parts of your property and one of the hardest-working. Viking Pavers designs paver driveways around the needs of your home, accounting for vehicle traffic, drainage, garage access, landscaping, and connections to existing walkways.

Our driveway installations begin with proper excavation and foundation preparation. We typically excavate approximately 10 inches from final grade for vehicle areas, install Geotex fabric where appropriate, and build the foundation with Class II road base before compacting it to approximately 98% density.

With hundreds of paver colors, textures, sizes, and patterns available, we can create a driveway that complements your San Pablo home while providing a durable and easily repairable surface.

Paver Patios in San Pablo

A new patio can turn an underused backyard into a comfortable outdoor living space for dining, entertaining, relaxing, or spending time with family. Viking Pavers designs custom paver patios around how you actually want to use your yard.

We can create space for dining and lounge furniture, incorporate built-in seating or planting areas, and connect the patio with other parts of your property. Features such as fire pits and outdoor kitchens can also be incorporated into the overall design.

Our team handles the technical aspects of the installation, including grading, drainage, excavation, and foundation preparation, so you can focus on creating an outdoor space that fits your lifestyle.

Our 20 year-old front redwood deck was rotting and became hazardous. We wanted to replace the deck before this Winter’s El Niño which is predicted to be very severe. My partner and I met with Viking’s Senior Project Design Specialist Karen Skinner who was responsive to our needs and to our desire for a beautiful deck. Karen informed us that, with the company’s discount, we could also have our driveway redone. Karen was in frequent communication with us and included Gustavo, who supervised the construction. Two amazing craftsmen completed the project in three days’ time. The precision and quality of their work is exceptional. We are very pleased with our beautiful deck and driveway. Neighbors and passersby have been telling us how perfect our deck and driveway look (as well as thanking us for increasing their property values.) We are very satisfied with Viking Pavers and grateful for our beautiful front property.

To the amazing Viking Pavers crew—Karen, Gustavo, and Sam—I am so grateful I found you! This was our second time using their services, as they previously paved our driveway. Once again, they exceeded expectations. They have truly transformed the tiny backyard into an oasis that our family and friends will enjoy for years to come.Sam and his team took extra time and care to save and transplant our apple and lemon trees. On top of that, they even deep-cleaned our indoor area at the end of the project! Having Karen and Gustavo visit the site often was incredibly reassuring.Here are the before-and-after pictures of the driveway and backyard. I highly recommend Viking Pavers to anyone looking for a top-notch landscaper!

We are very happy with the patio installation by System Pavers! Brandon Varga was a great senior design consultant and he gave us a good price for the project. Very nice and very knowledgeable. Adrian, the project manager and his crew did an excellent job on our patio and free standing wall. Adrian is so easy and fun to work with, and all that on top of being an amazing and accommodating professional. Highly recommend their services! We will employ them again soon for other projects.

Karen from VP was great to work with, very accommodating and accessible. The paving was done beautifully and they even redid a small section to my specifications by getting different bricks to match what was already there. I’d use them again.

Viking did a great job on our front yard pavers project. Karen worked with us to make sure we got the look we wanted with the budget we were working with, and Gustavo and his team worked fast but made sure they did it right. They showed up when they said they would and finished the whole project in three days. Would recommend them highly.

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.

Paver Pool Decks in San Pablo

A paver pool deck can make the area around your pool feel like a complete outdoor living space rather than simply a border around the water. Viking Pavers designs and installs custom paver pool decks with room for lounging, entertaining, dining, and other outdoor features.

We account for the pool’s shape, existing landscaping, drainage, elevation changes, and transitions to the surrounding yard during the planning process. Different paver colors, patterns, and borders can also be used to create a custom appearance that complements your San Pablo home.

Paver Walkways in San Pablo

A walkway can do more than get you from the driveway to the front door. Thoughtfully designed paver walkways can connect different areas of your property while adding structure and visual interest to the landscape.

Viking Pavers can create walkways to front entrances, around the side of the house, through backyard landscaping, or between larger outdoor living areas. We account for existing grades, landscaping, drainage, and transitions so the finished walkway feels like a natural part of the property.

Retaining Walls and Outdoor Living Spaces

Hardscape projects sometimes involve more than a single paved surface. Changes in elevation, landscape beds, and outdoor living features can all be incorporated into a larger design.

Viking Pavers installs retaining walls and paver steps that can help connect different levels of your property. We can also incorporate fire pits, outdoor kitchens, landscape lighting, and other features into a cohesive outdoor living design.

A Paver Contractor That Handles the Details

When you hire Viking Pavers, you don’t have to figure out the technical requirements of your project yourself. We evaluate the property and account for drainage, grading, landscaping, elevation changes, installation access, and the foundation required for the intended use.

Our standard installation process includes excavation, grade setting, Geotex fabric, Class II road base, compaction, and bedding sand before the finished pavers are installed. For patios and walkways, we typically excavate approximately 8 inches from final grade, while vehicle areas such as driveways receive deeper excavation and additional base material.

This attention to preparation is an important part of creating a paver installation that remains stable and attractive over time.

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.
