Paver installation turns a bare patch of sand or a cracked old slab into a new patio or walkway. GBS Sod and Landscape builds paver patios, paver walkways, pool decks and fire pits for homeowners. We lay concrete pavers and travertine pavers. This is the hardscaping side of our work, in Ormond Beach and across Volusia and Flagler counties.
Every paver job starts below the surface, with a compacted base. A driveway carries cars and needs a thicker base, so we treat paver driveways as their own job. We also build retaining walls and seat walls. Call or text (386) 238-9215 for a free quote.

A paver patio puts a firm, flat floor outside the back door for a table and chairs. It can also sit out in the yard, with a paver path from the house. If a tree stands where the patio goes, we can circle it with a tree ring.
A paver walkway runs from the driveway to the front door, or out back to the pool. Sidewalks and garden paths get the same base work as a patio. Want lights along the path? Plan the landscape lighting before the pavers go down.
A fire pit can sit in the middle of the patio, with the pavers laid in a ring around it. Set it well clear of the house and any low branches. Before the first fire, check your town's rules for backyard fires.
Pool deck pavers cover the deck around your pool, out to the pool screen or the lawn. Around water, pick a paver with some texture, since smooth stone gets slick when wet. Lighter colors reflect more sun, so they stay cooler under bare feet.
Travertine pavers are natural stone, laid down by mineral springs from dissolved limestone. Each piece varies a little in color and pattern. Concrete pavers are made in molds, in a wide range of shapes and colors.
If an old surface covers the deck now, it comes out before the pavers go in. The new base is then graded and compacted, the same as under a patio.
Much of the Ormond Beach mainland is flat, sandy ground. The USDA soil survey calls Myakka sand, one of the most common soils here, poorly drained. Its water table sits within 18 inches of the surface for 1 to 4 months in most years.
On wet ground like this, the base under the pavers carries the patio. We dig out the area and grade the base pad with a skid steer, then compact it. A sand bed is screeded flat on top, and the pavers go down on it in the pattern you pick.
An edge restraint holds the outside row, which keeps the pavers locked together, and joint sand fills the gaps. NOAA's 30-year averages put the area's rain at about 51 inches a year, more than half from June to September. So the finished surface slopes away from the house, and rain runs off. If water already pools where the patio will go, the yard may need grading and drainage work first.

My experience was excellent. Cesar was punctual and did an outstanding job installing a stone retaining wall in the front of my house. He completed the job in a very professional manner. He takes pride in his work and the finished product is beautiful. I would recommend Cesar and GBS Sod and Landscape to anyone who needs a retaining wall installed.
Caesar and Hugo did an awesome job in getting my front and backyard looking beautiful. They stripped my backyard and my front yard, put in new irrigation, border paving, weed block, seashell, along with new sod. My beach house now looks like something that belongs in a magazine. I can’t thank them enough for what they have done for me. GBS sod landscaping was fair priced, worked on time, and completed my job in a very quick time. I highly recommend GBS Sod and Landscaping for all your yard needs.
