When it comes to paver installations and hardscaping projects in San Ramon, Viking Pavers is the clear leader. Here’s why.

Extensive Experience: Our team has been installing nothing but the best in paver projects for over 20 years. All of our team is fully licensed, insured, and highly trained.

Quality Materials: At Viking Pavers, we only use the highest-quality parts on every job. We only work with manufacturers who offer lifetime material warranties on their paver blocks.

Generous Options: We have more color, material, pattern, and finishing options than you could imagine. We’re happy to help you mix-and-match your options to create a completely unique, one-of-a-kind space to call your own.

Customized Designs: Whether your needs are aesthetic or practical, we’re happy to help you customize your project. We can work around mature landscaping, connect different parts of your yards, and work around constraints that other paver contractors just can’t.

Strong Foundations: We don’t cut corners on foundations. All of our paver projects are installed on generous road base, which is expertly compacted to provide more strength and stability than poured concrete. These foundations ensure that your pavers will never shift, sag, or lose structural integrity.

Unmatched Warranties: All of our paver installation projects are backed by a 30 year labor warranty and a lifetime materials warranty. Learn more here.

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 Services in San Ramon

Paver Patios: Our paver patios are our most demanded services, and for good reason. Our paver patios can drastically transform how you enjoy your yard, and we can outfit them with all sorts of architectural features to make your patio feel one-of-a-kind.

Pool Decks: Building a deck around an existing pool is a challenge that we enjoy. Not only does it need to match with your other hardscaping elements, but it also needs to be extremely resistant to water damage, texture enough to prevent slippage, and needs to be made with materials that are virtually impossible to chip. Pool decks also often need to be integrated into larger landscaping plans with intricate edging and edge matching. But when designed and built well, a paver pool deck can radically transform and upgrade your backyard.

Retaining Walls: Retaining walls are often necessary to make sloped yards more usable, to protect your friends and family from injury, and to hold back earth that is impractical to move. But that doesn’t mean they have to be bland. Our retaining walls receive just as much love as our patios and driveways, and they can be the perfect feature to highlight a new installation.

Walkways: A new walkway can be a great way to make your side yard more usable, a forgotten corner of your backyard more accessible, or to make a disparate yard feel more cohesive. While our paver walkways are usually installed as part of a larger landscape design project, we can also install them separately.

Other Paver Projects: In addition to our core services, we specialize in various other paver projects, including outdoor fire pits, steps, and more. No matter the scale or complexity of your project, Viking Pavers has the expertise and resources to bring your vision to life.

Paver Driveways Are Our Specialty

A well-designed paver driveway can significantly enhance the curb appeal of your home while providing a durable and low-maintenance surface for your vehicles. Our driveway contractors offer wide range of paver options and patterns, allowing you to create a driveway that perfectly suits your style and preferences.

But paver driveways don’t just look incredible. They offer many practical benefits as well:

  • Paver driveways are stronger than concrete. Many homeowners in San Ramon are surprised to learn that our paver blocks are four times stronger than concrete. That makes them an ideal choice for applications with high load bearing needs, such as driveways. We can also further reinforce them with additional paver base for additional strength, which can be useful for RV owners.
  • Paver driveways are easier to repair. Patching concrete never goes well: unless you use the exact same concrete mix, and pour under the exact same weather conditions, the patch is always going to stand out. With pavers, it’s as simple as removing and replacing the cracked stones.
  • Paver driveways increase resale value. The great thing about a driveway is that it’s one of the first things that guests, and potential buyers, see on your property. A great paver driveway communicates that your property is thoughtfully upgraded and maintained, and can make your house more competitive in any kind of market.
  • Paver driveways are easy to expand. Adding a walkway, retaining wall, or built-in planter to your driveway is a snap, especially compared to concrete. And if you work with a single contractor to install everything, you’ll save on time, money, and headaches.

Common Hardscape Problems We Help San Ramon Homeowners Solve

Over time, even well-maintained outdoor spaces can begin to show signs of wear. Cracked concrete, uneven walkways, drainage concerns, and outdated hardscapes are common issues that can affect both the appearance and functionality of a property. At Viking Pavers, we help San Ramon homeowners address these challenges with custom hardscape solutions designed for long-term performance.

Many homeowners contact us when their existing concrete driveways, patios, or walkways begin to crack, settle, or show signs of aging. These surfaces can become both an eyesore and a safety concern. Replacing damaged concrete with a professionally installed paver system can provide a more attractive and durable solution.

Walkways that have shifted over time can create uneven surfaces that are difficult to navigate. Whether caused by soil movement, tree roots, or years of wear, these issues can often be corrected through proper excavation, base preparation, and paver installation.

Many San Ramon homeowners want to make better use of their outdoor space. Older patios and poorly designed layouts can limit functionality and reduce enjoyment of the property. We help homeowners create patios and outdoor living areas that are better suited for entertaining, dining, and everyday use.

Improper drainage can lead to standing water, erosion, and long-term damage to outdoor surfaces. During the design and installation process, we evaluate grading and drainage considerations to help create hardscape solutions that manage water effectively and support long-term durability.

Properties with elevation changes can be challenging to use and maintain. Retaining walls, terraced designs, and properly planned hardscapes can help transform difficult areas into functional outdoor spaces while improving the overall appearance of the property.

Pool decks and high-traffic outdoor areas naturally experience wear over time. Many homeowners choose to renovate these spaces to improve appearance, increase comfort, and create a more cohesive backyard design that better fits their current lifestyle.

Every property presents its own unique challenges. Our goal is to provide custom paver driveways, patios, walkways, pool decks, and retaining walls that address existing issues while enhancing the beauty, functionality, and value of your San Ramon home. Backed by our 30-year labor warranty, our installations are built with lasting performance in mind.

“Working with Karen Skinner was a pleasure. We love our pavers installed next to our curb so people have them to step onto, and we love the curved paver walkway from our upper gate leading to our back deck. The color and pattern are the perfect choice, as Karen indicated. The crew dealt with an extreme heat wave and dangerous air quality during the outbreak of fires all over areas of Northern California. They also had to work safely within safety measures during the Coronavirus Covid 19 crisis. The crew were respectful and kind, responsive, and did a great job. We had only one or two times when communication could have improved, partly because the foreman had a full mailbox on his cell phone. But we instead texted for answers about what time crews would arrive, and our issues were resolved. I would recommend them, and would use Viking again.”

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.
