🌿 How to Choose the Right Pavers for Your Outdoor Space

A paver patio, driveway, or walkway can completely transform your outdoor space—adding beauty, durability, and value to your home. But with so many materials, styles, and installation methods available, choosing the right pavers can feel overwhelming. At IGL, we’ve helped countless homeowners select the perfect pavers for their spaces. Here’s your guide to making the best choice.

1. Consider the Function of Your Space

The first step is understanding how your pavers will be used.

• Driveways: Need thick, durable pavers that can withstand vehicle weight.

• Walkways/Paths: Slightly thinner pavers are fine, but slip-resistance is important.

• Patios & Entertainment Areas: Focus on style, comfort, and smooth surfaces for furniture.

2. Choose the Right Material

Pavers come in a variety of materials, each with its benefits:

• Concrete: Affordable, versatile, and available in many shapes and colors.

• Brick: Classic look, durable, and naturally slip-resistant.

• Natural Stone (flagstone, granite, slate): High-end appearance, long-lasting, unique textures.

• Permeable Pavers: Eco-friendly choice that allows water to drain through, reducing runoff.

3. Think About Style and Color

Your paver choice should complement your home and landscape:

• Colors: Neutral tones blend with most surroundings; bold colors create a statement.

• Patterns: Herringbone, basket weave, running bond, or random layouts can completely change the look.

• Texture: Smooth, tumbled, or rough surfaces impact comfort, traction, and aesthetics.

4. Consider Maintenance and Longevity

Different pavers have different upkeep needs:

• Concrete: Low maintenance but may stain over time.

• Brick: Can require occasional sealing or cleaning.

• Natural Stone: Often more durable but may need periodic sealing.

• Permeable Pavers: Require occasional joint cleaning to maintain drainage.

5. Budget vs. Value

While budget is important, think long-term. Investing in quality materials and professional installation often saves money on repairs and replacements in the future.

6. Work With a Professional

Choosing pavers isn’t just about looks—it’s about ensuring proper installation for durability and function. At IGL, we handle everything from design to installation, ensuring your pavers look beautiful and last for years.

🌿 5 Reasons to Invest in Landscape Property Management

🌿 5 Reasons to Invest in Landscape Property Management

1. Protect Your Investment

You’ve spent thousands on a beautiful landscape design and installation. Without proper care, plants decline, irrigation systems fail, and hardscapes wear prematurely. Ongoing management ensures your outdoor space retains — and grows — its value.

2. Increase Property Value

Well-maintained landscapes boost appraised values and attract buyers, tenants, or clients. A polished exterior signals pride of ownership and sets your property apart in the neighborhood or market.

3. Save Time & Stress

Between mowing, pruning, seasonal cleanups, and irrigation checks, landscape care can be a full-time job. With a management plan, you reclaim your weekends while professionals handle the details.

4. Prevent Costly Repairs

Proactive maintenance catches small issues — like clogged sprinklers, overgrown roots, or pest infestations — before they become expensive problems. Preventative care is always cheaper than emergency fixes.

5. Enhance Safety & Sustainability

A managed property is a safe property: walkways stay clear, overgrowth is trimmed, and irrigation systems conserve water. Professional management also supports sustainability goals through smart plant care and eco-friendly practices.

Remember…

Hiring a licensed contractor in California isn’t just about following the law—it’s about protecting your home, your money, and your peace of mind. Take the time to research, verify, and sign a solid contract before any work begins.

5 Reasons to Invest in Landscape Property Management

🌿Top Reasons Why Your Paver Installation Fails

Example of Failed Paver Installation - Joints are separating, allowing weeds to germinate in between the cracks.

🌿Top Reasons Why Your Paver Installation Fails

A paver patio, driveway, or walkway can add beauty, value, and functionality to your home. Poor planning, shortcuts, or lack of expertise often lead to paver projects that don’t last—and fixing them can be costly. At IGL, we’ve seen it all, and we’re here to share the top reasons why paver installations fail—so you can avoid these mistakes and enjoy a space built to last a lifetime.

1. Poor or No Base Preparation

The base is the foundation of your pavers. Skipping excavation, not removing enough soil, or failing to compact the base properly leads to sinking and uneven surfaces.

2. Inadequate Drainage

Without proper drainage, water will pool under your pavers, causing shifting, erosion, and weeds. Sometimes with inadequate grading, the water can pool towards your house (instead of daylight away from your property). Hiring an experienced, licensed contractor can help you to avoid this mistake.

3. Lack of Edge Restraints

Without proper edge restraints, pavers slowly spread and separate, ruining the clean look of your project. It is also common for the edge restraints to be installed incorrectly. Incorrect installation can also lead to pavers failing.

4. Uneven or Insufficient Compaction

Improper compaction during installation leads to settling and trip hazards. Compact each lift to 95% compaction rate to avoid pavers creating sink holes or improper drainage.

5. Incorrect Sand Use

Using construction or beach sand instead of proper bedding or polymeric sand causes pavers to shift and joints to wash out. Using the proper materials is essential for a long-lasting paver installation.

6. Ignoring Load Requirements

Driveways, patios, and walkways all require different base depths depending on expected weight. If these aren’t considered, pavers will crack or shift.

7. Poor Cutting and Layout

Sloppy cuts or failing to plan the pattern properly leave uneven gaps, weak spots, and a less professional look. Cutting the pavers too small can also lead to a paver system failing.

8. Hiring the Wrong Contractor

Many failures come down to poor workmanship or cutting corners to save time and money. Hire a licensed, experienced paver installer like IGL Pavers to ensure your pavers will last a lifetime.

✨ Thinking about a new paver project? Let’s do it right the first time—contact IGL today to start your outdoor transformation.

Remember…

Hiring a licensed contractor in California isn’t just about following the law—it’s about protecting your home, your money, and your peace of mind. Take the time to research, verify, and sign a solid contract before any work begins.

🍁🍂🎃 What Sort of Maintenance Do Pavers Need?

🍁🍂🎃

What Sort of Maintenance Do Your Pavers Need?

When installed correctly, pavers should last a lifetime. They require little maintenance and are a stunning alternative to the bland concrete options. If you maintain your pavers each year, they will hold up their color, enhance your curb appeal, and perfect for entertaining. Contact IGL to schedule your annual paver maintenance today!

1. Regular Cleaning 🌻

Why it matters:

Dirt, leaves, moss, and debris can build up on pavers over time, leading to stains, slippery surfaces, and weed growth.

What to do:

• Sweep regularly to keep the surface clear.

• Use a garden hose or a pressure washer for deeper cleaning every 4 - 6 weeks.

• For stains (oil, food, rust), use a paver-safe cleaner based on the stain type.

• Contact IGL for a FREE estimate on cleaning your pavers today!

Tip: Avoid harsh chemicals like bleach, which can discolor your pavers.

2. Weed and Moss Control🌾

Why it matters:

Seeds can get stuck in between the joints of pavers through wind, rain, storms; normal acts of God. Overtime, these seeds can germinate and grow to weeds if your pavers aren’t maintained properly. Be careful when pressure washing your pavers - you don’t want to get to close to the joints, you could dislodge the joint sand which results in damaging the interlocking bond of the pavers. And can lead to more weeds growing in between the joints.

What to do:

• Apply weed killer or pull weeds by hand.

• Hose down or pressure wash your pavers every 4 - 6 weeks to keep seeds from germinating in between joints.

• Trim nearby grass and plants to reduce seed spread.

3. Re-Sanding the Joints

Why it matters:

Joint sand helps lock your pavers in place and keeps them from shifting. Don’t fill your joint sand too high - that can damage the surface and look (color) of the pavers.

What to do:

• Refill the joints with sand as needed, especially after heavy rains or power washing.

• Use polymeric sand for better weed and erosion resistance.

• Contact IGL if you have questions about troubleshooting your joint sand and what may be causing weeds to constantly grow in between your pavers.

4. Sealing the Pavers

Why it matters:

A good sealer can enhance color, protect against stains, and reduce wear from weather and foot traffic.

What to do:

• Seal your pavers every 2–3 years, or as recommended by the manufacturer.

• Choose the right sealer: matte, semi-gloss, or high-gloss, depending on the look you want.

• Clean thoroughly before sealing and apply in dry weather.

• Contact IGL today to clean and seal (or re seal) your pavers today!

5. Repairing Shifts or Cracks

Why it matters:

Pavers can shift due to ground movement, erosion, or improper installation.

What to do:

• If a paver becomes loose or uneven, it can often be lifted, the base leveled, and the paver reinstalled.

• Replace cracked or severely damaged pavers individually without needing to redo the entire area.

🏞️ Final Thoughts

With just a bit of regular attention, pavers can stay beautiful and functional for decades. A clean, well-maintained paver surface doesn’t just boost your home's aesthetics — it also protects your investment. Think of paver maintenance like car maintenance: a little effort now prevents bigger problems (and costs) later.

🍁 Is Your Backyard Fall-Ready?

Stay Informed - Be sure to hire a licensed contractor for any jobs over $500

🍁 Is Your Backyard Fall-Ready?

As summer winds down and the crisp air of autumn begins to roll in, it’s the perfect time to turn your attention to your backyard. Fall isn’t just about pumpkin spice and cozy sweaters — it’s also one of the best seasons to enjoy the outdoors before winter settles in. Whether you’re planning weekend bonfires or simply want a peaceful spot to sip your morning coffee, preparing your outdoor space now can help you make the most of the season.

Here’s a quick checklist to help you get your backyard fall-ready:

1. Clean Up Summer Debris

Start by clearing out any dead plants, fallen leaves, or clutter left over from summer activities. Trim overgrown shrubs and cut back any perennials that need it. This not only freshens up your yard but also prevents pests and mold from taking over.

2. Prep Your Lawn

Fall is a crucial time for lawn care. Aerate your soil, fertilize, and overseed if needed. Cooler temperatures and increased moisture make fall ideal for growing strong, healthy grass roots.

3. Add Fall-Friendly Plants

Swap out summer annuals with autumn favorites like mums, ornamental kale, pansies, and asters. You can also plant bulbs like tulips and daffodils now for a spring surprise.

4. Cozy Up Your Outdoor Seating

Bring out warm throws, add cushions in autumnal colors, and consider adding an outdoor rug to make your patio or deck feel inviting. Don’t forget weather-resistant covers if you want to protect your furniture during wetter months.

5. Light the Way

Shorter days mean you'll need extra lighting. String lights, lanterns, or solar-powered path lights can instantly add ambiance and keep your yard functional after dark.

6. Fire Pit Ready?

Fall and fire pits go hand-in-hand. Check that your fire pit is clean and safe to use. Stock up on firewood or propane, grab some marshmallows, and you’re set for cozy nights outdoors.

7. Outdoor Kitchen or Grill Maintenance

If you have an outdoor kitchen or grill, give it a deep clean and cover it when not in use. You might not be grilling every night, but fall is still a great time for hearty meals outdoors.

8. Contact IGL to help with fall maintenance on your property!

Contact IGL today to start your monthly maintenance so your home is ready season after season. Click the maintenance tab above to check the rates for your address today!

🍂 Final Thoughts

Getting your backyard fall-ready doesn’t require a massive overhaul. With a few thoughtful updates and seasonal touches, your outdoor space can become the perfect autumn escape. So grab a flannel blanket, light the fire pit, and enjoy everything fall has to offer — right in your own backyard.

🛠️ Hiring a Licensed Contractor in California: What Homeowners Need to Know

Stay Informed - Be sure to hire a licensed contractor for any jobs over $500

🛠️ Hiring a Licensed Contractor in California: What Homeowners Need to Know

Thinking about upgrading your driveway or creating a backyard oasis? 🏡 In California, hiring the right contractor can make all the difference—not just for quality work, but also for your legal protection.

Here’s what every homeowner should know before signing a contract.

✅ Why You Should Hire a Licensed Contractor

In California, any job over $500 in labor and materials requires a licensed contractor, according to the Contractors State License Board (CSLB).

Key Benefits:

• Legal protection: Licensed contractors are held to strict legal and professional standards.

• Insurance coverage: Licensed contractors must carry workers’ compensation (if they have employees) and often general liability insurance.

• Permits & inspections: They’re familiar with local building codes and can pull the right permits for your project.

🕵️ How to Verify a Contractor's License

Always check before you hire.

1. Visit the CSLB: CSLB License Check Tool

2. Enter the contractor’s license number, name, or business name

3. Review their:

   • License status (active, expired, suspended)

   • Classification (e.g. B – General Building Contractor)

   • Bond and insurance info

   • Complaint history (if any)

⚠️ Red Flags to Watch Out For

Avoid unlicensed contractors or deals that sound too good to be true. Common red flags include:

• No written contract

• Asking for large cash payments upfront

• Refusal to provide a license number

• Pushing you to skip permits

👉 In California, it’s illegal for a contractor to ask for more than 10% down or $1,000, whichever is less.

📄 What Should Be in the Contract?

A clear, written contract protects both parties. It should include:

• Contractor’s license number

• Scope of work

• Payment schedule

• Timeline & deadlines

• Materials to be used

• Change order process

• Warranty info

🏡 Final Thoughts

Hiring a licensed contractor in California isn’t just about following the law—it’s about protecting your home, your money, and your peace of mind. Take the time to research, verify, and sign a solid contract before any work begins.

Don’t worry about sounding professional. Sound like you. There are over 1.5 billion websites out there, but your story is what’s going to separate this one from the rest. If you read the words back and don’t hear your own voice in your head, that’s a good sign you still have more work to do.

Be clear, be confident and don’t overthink it. The beauty of your story is that it’s going to continue to evolve and your site can evolve with it. Your goal should be to make it feel right for right now. Later will take care of itself. It always does.
