Tucson, Arizona
Pavers fail because of what is under them, not what is on top. We compact the base in lifts, set proper edge restraint and plan the slope so water leaves the deck instead of sitting on it.
Every job is scoped in writing before it starts, so you know what is covered and what is not.
How We Build It
A paver deck can create space for outdoor dining, connect a side gate to the backyard or define a seating area around a fire feature. Driveways need a surface and supporting base suited to vehicle traffic.
AYJ installs pavers, travertine and porcelain in Tucson and the surrounding service area. The estimate considers how you will use the space, its dimensions, access and the surfaces already around it.
Concrete pavers offer many shapes, colors and patterns, with individual units that can be replaced when needed. Travertine provides natural variation. Outdoor-rated porcelain suits a more uniform, contemporary look.
Compare samples in sun and shade. Surface temperature, wet traction, maintenance and suitability for vehicle loads depend on the specific product. No paving material stays cool in every condition.
Square footage is only part of the estimate. Removing existing concrete, excavation, base preparation, drainage, edge details and access can all change the scope.
Doorway heights and the condition of existing slabs also matter. We assess whether the project needs removal and replacement or whether an overlay is appropriate before recommending an approach.
Sometimes. Slab condition, drainage, added height and the selected installation system determine whether an overlay is suitable. The on-site estimate is the place to assess it.
Yes. Tell us what vehicles will use the driveway so material selection and base preparation can be considered for the intended load.
Expect occasional cleaning and attention to the joints. Windblown seeds can grow in accumulated debris. Ask about care instructions for the specific paver, joint material and sealer selected.
We discuss layout, materials, site conditions and the work needed for your space. Send photos and an approximate size to help us prepare for the visit.
Porcelain walkwayCentral Tucson
A narrow side-yard passage between two original brick walls, rebuilt with large-format porcelain. The run is pitched away from the house so monsoon water clears the walkway instead of pooling against the brick.

Artificial turfTucson, AZ
A tired backyard turned into usable space: a rectangular turf lawn framed by a paver border, with a paver walkway connecting the deck to the side gate and gravel handling the rest of the drainage.

Artificial turfDesert lot outside Tucson
A desert lot where the goal was one green, usable area without fighting the landscape. The turf lawn is cut to a custom shape and bordered in travertine, with a travertine walkway tying it back to the deck.

Explore our service areasHow It Works
We come out and look at the actual space. Goals, timing, materials, access, drainage, and a realistic budget range.
Layout, measurements and material options confirmed in writing, so you know exactly what is included before anything starts.
Prep, base, installation and finish work, with updates as we go and the site staged and cleaned at the end of each phase.
We walk the finished job with you, handle anything left on the list, and show you how to care for the materials.
