Paver installation is a big part of what we do in Las Vegas. We install paver driveways, paver patios, walkways and pool decks for homes and businesses across the valley. Owner Junior Delgadillo has run this company since 2014. Pavers fit this climate because they are separate units with sand joints between them. A poured slab expands as one piece in 110 degree heat and cracks. Pavers move a hair and stay flat instead. When a unit chips or stains years later, we lift that piece and set a new one. The rest of the driveway or patio stays untouched.
The base is what makes paver installation last in the desert. Our soil runs into caliche, a hard natural layer that sits at different depths around the valley. We break it out where we hit it, then build back with crushed road base in compacted lifts. Walkways and patios get four to six inches of base. Driveways get eight inches or more, since they carry vehicles. Then comes a screeded sand bed, the pavers, joint sand and a compacted edge that locks the field in place.

Every paver installation starts with layout and grade. We mark the area, then dig out the old surface and the soil under it. How deep we go depends on the job. A patio needs less depth than a driveway that holds a truck.
Base comes next. We haul in crushed road base and compact it in lifts with a plate compactor. Thin lifts pack down better than one deep pile. On top of the base we screed a bed of coarse sand to a flat plane.
Then the pavers go down by hand in the pattern you picked. Edge cuts get made on site with a saw. We install edge restraint and sweep polymeric sand into the joints. The compactor runs over the whole field and water sets the sand.
Most sand makers want a day before vehicles roll on a new paver driveway. A small patio can wrap in a few days, while a driveway with demolition runs longer.
A paver driveway carries the most weight on the property. We dig deeper and run more base than a patio needs. The Interlocking Concrete Pavement Institute recommends a herringbone pattern for surfaces cars drive on. Herringbone spreads tire load and resists creep from braking and turning.
Paver patios take more design work than base work. Plenty of valley backyards pair pavers with turf, and we have set turf borders right into paver patios. Walkways run from the front door to the driveway or down a side yard. Both sit on four to six inches of compacted base.
Paver pool decks and pool surrounds need a slope plan, so water runs away from the pool. Curved decks take longer because of the cut work. Lighter colored pavers stay cooler underfoot than dark ones in July. If a unit settles by the coping, we lift it and reset it.
Many valley neighborhoods sit under an HOA. Summerlin and similar communities want written approval before you change a driveway surface. We can send the paver details and photos your application needs.
Price follows size, access, the paver you pick and how much demolition the job needs. Local price guides put sand set concrete paver driveways and patios near $15 to $18 per square foot here. Brick pavers usually run a few dollars higher. Those numbers leave out tearing out an old slab.
Base depth moves the number too. A driveway that holds trucks needs more excavation and more base than a walkway. Caliche adds machine time when we hit it. Layouts with curves and heavy cutting add labor over a plain square field.
Your number comes from a site visit. We measure the area and look at what sits under the old surface. Then you get a written price for the work. Estimates are free anywhere in the valley.
A sunken spot or a section that rocks underfoot usually traces back to the base. Water finds the low area and the problem spreads from there. Sand set pavers come back apart, so we can fix one area and leave the rest alone.
We pull up the units and rebuild the base under them. The same pavers go back down. Cracked or stained units get swapped one at a time. Matching an older paver can be hit or miss, since colors change over the years.
We check what your supplier still stocks before we start. Sunken edges along a driveway often need edge restraint put back in.
We install pavers for homeowners and businesses across Clark County. That covers North Las Vegas, Henderson, Paradise, Spring Valley, Enterprise, Sunrise Manor, Whitney, Winchester, Summerlin and Boulder City. Residential driveways and patios run alongside our commercial paver work.
Ram Masonry has been in business since 2014. Juan Delgadillo, who most people call Junior, owns the company and works the jobs. He brings decades of hands on masonry experience to paver installation. We hold Nevada C-18 masonry license number 0080771 and carry bond and insurance.
Pavers often sit next to other masonry on the same backyard project. If you would rather have poured concrete for the driveway or patio, we do that work too. Block walls and planters come from the same company. Call (702) 769-4416 for a free estimate on paver installation.

Call or send the form, and photos by text get a fast first read. For a firm number we come out, measure the run, and check what sits under the job: grade, access, caliche, old work.
You get a written price and timeline before any work starts. If a permit or engineering applies, the estimate says so. Repair and rebuild get quoted as separate numbers when both are on the table.
Footings dug to bearing and inspected, rebar and grout in the cells, base compacted before concrete, mortar kept from drying too fast in the heat. The parts you never see get built like the parts you do.
We walk the finished work with you: walls plumb, joints full, slabs draining the right way, site cleaned up. Done means you have looked at every part of it and said so.
