Paver installation in Metro Detroit: what to expect
Concrete pavers and brick pavers are laid as individual units on a compacted base and bedding sand, so they flex with freeze-thaw movement instead of cracking. Damaged pavers can be lifted and replaced. Popular jobs in Metro Detroit include backyard patios, front walks, driveway borders and full paver driveways.
Most paver problems come from the base. A good installer excavates deep enough for the use, compacts the base in layers, sets edge restraints, and sweeps in polymeric joint sand. Clay soils here drain poorly, so slope and drainage matter. Considering a larger outdoor project? See hardscaping.
What a proper job includes
- Design and layout, including pattern, borders and slope
- Utility locating through MISS DIG 811 before excavation
- Excavation and removal of soil or old surfaces
- Geotextile fabric where the soil calls for it
- Aggregate base compacted in lifts
- Bedding layer, pavers, cuts and edge restraints
- Polymeric joint sand and final compaction
- Cleanup and care instructions
What drives the price
- Area and shape, including curves and cuts
- Paver type, size and pattern
- Base depth for foot traffic or vehicles
- Excavation, tear-out and hauling
- Borders, steps, seat walls or fire pits
- Access for equipment in the yard
- Drainage fixes or permeable paver systems

Permits and licensing in Michigan
Paver patios and walks on private property often do not need a building permit, though some communities regulate lot coverage and drainage. A paver driveway approach in the public right-of-way needs a city or road agency permit (in Detroit, the DPW City Engineering Division). Excavation needs notice to MISS DIG 811 at least three business days ahead.
Paid residential work above a threshold set by state law requires a LARA license. Look for a Maintenance & Alteration Contractor license that lists Concrete or Masonry, or a Residential Builder license, and check the number on the LARA lookup.
