Common questions

What is the best time of year to lay pavers in Minnesota?

The ideal times to lay pavers in Minnesota are during the late spring and early fall. This avoids the extreme heat of summer and the freezing temperatures of winter, allowing for optimal curing and settling of the base materials. Spring installations offer immediate enjoyment, while fall installations are ready for the following year.

Is it cheaper to do a paver patio or concrete in Minnesota?

While concrete may have a lower initial cost, paver patios often prove more cost-effective in Minnesota over the long term. Concrete is highly susceptible to cracking from freeze-thaw cycles common in Minnesota winters. Pavers offer greater flexibility and are simpler and less expensive to repair if individual units are damaged.
