Questions
What paving materials do you recommend for high-traffic areas?
We suggest dense, interlocking concrete pavers or natural stone options like granite for high-traffic zones. These materials offer superior durability while maintaining aesthetic appeal under frequent use.
Can I install pavers myself, or should I hire a professional?
While DIY installation is possible, we recommend consulting our guides or hiring certified contractors for complex projects. Proper base preparation and alignment are critical for long-term stability and appearance.
How do you ensure proper drainage in paved areas?
Our designs incorporate strategic slope planning, permeable paver systems, and subsurface drainage solutions. These methods prevent water accumulation while maintaining surface integrity across various soil conditions.
What maintenance is required for hardscaped surfaces?
Regular cleaning with pH-neutral solutions and periodic joint sand replenishment maintain appearance and structural integrity. We provide detailed care instructions tailored to specific material selections.
Do you offer resources for commercial hardscaping projects?
Yes, our contractor resources include specifications for large-scale installations, compliance documentation, and access to bulk material suppliers to support efficient execution of commercial paving initiatives.

Absolutely horrendous customer service. Dealt with a guy called Miles in the store - had no interest in showing us the pavers on the day we showed up. Will not give you any more information that what you ask. After sometime of dealing with his terrible attitude we picked the pavers - then immediately gave us wrong information regarding what they had in stock and what they didn't. Didn't tell us the options we had to get the stuff we want delivered. Placed the order over the phone and then again gave me the wrong information about what they had in stock. After getting stuff delivered the delivery

Extremely poor customer service. I spoke to the MGR and he even justified their poor customer service on that I am signal home owner and they deal with contractors with bigger orders. So much for treating your neighbor like you would be treated. GO somewhere else where you are appreciated and treated well.

This is a review of the product that I recently used for a project. I am the owner of a landscaping company. My local suppliers had the fat face retaining wall in stock. I was using this for a project at my personal property. I have used other manufacturers product in the past. I have seen and heard the Ideal name for years in my industry. Usually a manufacturer who has been in the game for as long as Ideal has would be a reasonable product to use. I am certainly wrong with my assumptions. I can not describe in words the true displeasure I had to use this product. I had already paid for and transported

We recently worked with Steve B. at Pavers by Ideal. From the start Steve went out of way to take great care of us. He provided amazing ideas for our patio design and went the extra step of sending us color renderings of the proposed patio. This helped tremendously in finalizing our ideas/patio! He was always available to answer our call and provide great recommendations and service. They have an amazing showroom so you can see what you like. Steve was there every step of the way as patio was being built. Our patio came out amazing thanks to Steve. We highly recommend Pavers by Ideal!
