At Evergreen Tech Landscaping, we believe that a successful paver hardscape project begins with a collaborative journey, not just an installation. As a trusted landscape company serving Boca Raton, FL, we guide homeowners through every step of the design and build process with transparency, expertise, and a focus on sustainable, high-quality results. Whether creating a stunning patio, a safe pool deck, elegant walkways, durable sidewalks, or functional parking areas, our approach ensures your vision becomes a reality while addressing the unique demands of South Florida’s climate.
Here’s how we take customers from initial idea to enjoying their new outdoor space.
Step 1: The Initial Consultation – Understanding Your Vision
The process starts with a no-obligation consultation at your home. This is where we listen closely to your goals, lifestyle, and priorities. Are you dreaming of an expansive patio for family gatherings? A slip-resistant pool deck that stays cool underfoot? A permeable walkway that complements your landscaping? Or perhaps a low-maintenance parking area that handles heavy vehicles without cracking?
During this visit, our team walks the property with you, assessing the existing space, noting sun exposure, drainage patterns, soil conditions, and any challenges posed by Boca Raton’s sandy soils, high water table, or frequent rain. We discuss your budget range, timeline, and any must-have features—such as integrating synthetic turf borders, landscape lighting, or green wall accents. We also explain the benefits of concrete pavers early on: their permeability for water conservation, crack resistance against ground movement, slip-resistant textures for safety, and long-term durability in Florida’s heat and humidity. By the end of this conversation, you’ll have a clear understanding of what’s possible and a realistic sense of scope.
Step 2: Site Evaluation and Measurements
Once we agree to move forward, we conduct a detailed site evaluation. This includes precise measurements, marking out proposed layouts with stakes and string, and checking for underground utilities (we always get demarcation before any digging). We evaluate grading and drainage carefully—critical in Boca Raton to prevent pooling during storms. If the area needs regrading or additional base preparation, we note it early so there are no surprises later.
We also photograph the space from multiple angles and take notes on existing landscaping elements. This ensures the new hardscape integrates seamlessly with your yard’s overall design, whether it includes our signature synthetic turf, native plants, or lighting features. Customers receive a written summary of observations and preliminary recommendations, keeping everything documented and transparent.
Step 3: Design Development and Material Selection
Next comes the creative phase. Using your input, site photos, and measurements, our design team creates detailed 2D plans showing layout, pattern options, border details, and transitions to existing features. We present multiple paver choices—colors, textures, sizes, and styles—tailored to your aesthetic preferences and practical needs. For example, lighter tones reflect heat for cooler pool decks, while tumbled finishes add a timeless, natural look to patios and walkways.
We explain the differences between permeable and non-permeable systems, recommending permeable options where water management is a priority (common in Boca Raton due to local regulations and our sustainability focus). Samples are brought to your home so you can see how they look in natural light and against your house exterior. Budget breakdowns are provided at this stage, including material, labor, base preparation, edging, and any drainage enhancements. Once you approve the design and selections, we finalize the proposal with clear pricing, timeline, and scope of work.
Step 4: Project Preparation and Permitting
Before breaking ground, we handle all necessary preparations. If permits are required (common for larger patios, pool decks, or parking areas in Boca Raton), our team manages the application process. We coordinate scheduling, order materials, and prepare the site—protecting nearby plants, turf, or hardscapes with tarps and barriers.
We also review the plan with you one last time to confirm every detail. This pre-construction call ensures alignment and allows any final adjustments.
Step 5: Excavation, Base Preparation, and Installation
Installation begins with careful excavation to the proper depth, removing unsuitable soil and grading for positive drainage away from structures. We install a thick, compacted base of crushed stone and sand—essential for stability and longevity in Florida’s shifting soils. Edge restraints (plastic, aluminum, or concrete) are secured to prevent shifting over time.
Pavers are then laid according to the approved pattern, cut precisely around curves, obstacles, or built-in features. Joints are filled with polymeric sand or permeable joint material, compacted, and sealed if desired. Every step is performed with attention to detail—ensuring level surfaces, consistent joints, and clean transitions.
Throughout the build, our crew maintains a clean, organized site and communicates daily progress. We respect your property and minimize disruption as much as possible.
Step 6: Final Walkthrough, Cleanup, and Enjoyment
Upon completion, we conduct a thorough final walkthrough with you. We demonstrate how the space functions, explain maintenance tips (sweeping, occasional rinsing, resealing every few years), and address any questions. Minor adjustments are made on the spot if needed.
The site is cleaned thoroughly—debris removed, surrounding areas tidied, and any disturbed landscaping restored or enhanced. We provide care instructions and schedule a follow-up visit to ensure everything is settling perfectly.

Our structured, customer-focused approach delivers peace of mind and exceptional results. By involving you at every stage, we eliminate surprises, respect your budget and timeline, and create hardscapes that truly enhance your lifestyle.
