Paver Contractor in Mesa, AZ

Downtown, the 55+ communities, Las Sendas and Eastmark

Downtown and central Mesa. The Evergreen Historic District has homes built from about 1910 to the late 1940s: bungalows, period revival homes and early ranch houses. The city still delivers flood irrigation to about 300 customers in the core, between Mesa Drive and Country Club and between 8th Street and 8th Avenue. Old concrete, irrigated lawns and mature trees shape most jobs here.

55+ communities. Dreamland Villa (built 1959 to 1978), Leisure World (1972 to 1994), Sunland Village (1974 to 1984), Fountain of the Sun (1975 to 1987) and Sunland Springs Village (1997 to 2020) are all in Mesa. The work here is mostly about low maintenance: replace gravel or a cracked slab, keep every surface flat and even underfoot, and stop worrying about it.

Las Sendas and northeast Mesa. Las Sendas sits against the Usery Mountains on Mesa's northeast edge and was built from the mid-1990s through the 2000s. Lots slope, the golf course is built into the hillside, and views matter. That means steps, level landings and real drainage plans for monsoon runoff coming downhill.

Eastmark and southeast Mesa. Eastmark is a 3,200-acre master-planned community on the former General Motors Desert Proving Ground, with homes going up since the 2010s. New builds come with builder concrete, and some come with a backyard that still needs to be finished. Eastmark's Design Review Committee has to approve exterior changes, including landscaping and pools, before work starts.

Mesa ground, water and HOAs

Mesa yards sit on caliche in a lot of places, as most of the Valley does. That layer won't drain, and any water that works into a paver base just stays put. So the slope is the first thing we design, giving rain a way off the pavers before it soaks down.

Each part of town brings its own water problem. In the flood-irrigated core, the yard holds water on a schedule, so pavers have to stay above the flood and outside the berms. On Las Sendas hillsides, monsoon runoff comes downhill fast and has to be routed around the house and off the hardscape. On flatter lots in Eastmark and southeast Mesa, the job is building in enough pitch to move water to the street.

In Mesa's master-planned communities, the HOA usually has to say yes before anything else happens. Las Sendas puts exterior renovations through architectural review, and the approval has to come before work begins. In Eastmark, the Design Review Committee signs off. Both get a complete package from us: samples, a layout drawing and the exact product names. We book the install once your address is cleared.

From the Evergreen district to Eastmark, our driveways go on 4 inches of ABC that's wetted and compacted in lifts. A bid that puts quarter-minus or DG in place of that base is a warning sign.

Mesa paver costs, project by project

Each range below is an installed total from John's price sheet. Once we've measured, you get a firm figure.

• Paver driveway: $5,000 to $10,000 for a typical two-car driveway, or about $5,500 to $10,800 in tumbled pavers. Removing an old concrete driveway adds about $1,400 to $2,700.
• Paver patio: $2,500 to $6,600 in concrete pavers for about 300 to 600 square feet, or $3,300 to $7,800 in large format.
• Pool deck: $7,000 to $13,400 in concrete pavers with coping, or $11,000 to $21,000 in natural stone or travertine.
• Walkway: $850 to $2,750 in concrete pavers. The minimum job is $800.

The estimator is the fastest way to a ballpark, and the pricing guide goes material by material.
