Paver idea

[PaPaG]

What is the average range charged for pavers per sq foot these days? I am thinking of doing a large area around 2000 to 3500 sq foot in NV.....

There is lots of factors that go into that.

starting price for cheap crap is say $5/ft 10-15 for the better stuff.

Remember Compaction is key when it comes to pavers. What type of soil do you have? Geotex fabric is a must in clay to keep your base from migrating into clay when it rains. Times are tough I could go as low as $6-8 on that much square foot. Depends on the make and style of pavers. Amount of base. Concrete need to be removed? Minimum 6-8" base for vehicle traffic. No vehicles 4" base Motorhomes 10-12" base. Any questions ask. I have $60K in tools and equipment just for pavers and flat work. My big plate compactor weighs 710 lbs to give you an idea. Base is super cheap so dont let them sell you on 2-4".

Best info yet, thanks...
No vehicle traffic, very hard compact dirt, no clay and only light foot traffic in the back yard...

Easy one. Not sure AZ prices for wholesale pavers but if its close to CA. $6 a foot is possible based on paver selection. Az as slow as us for construction should be no problem. Most common pavers are $1.23-1.59 a foot base is $5-6 a ton. Some of the big pavers are up to $3.23 a foot but the looks make up for it. Be closer to $9 a foot. Those would be " Kingdom cobble,Estate Castel cobble" name varies on manufacturer.

Do you do in paver work in Havasu?

I am located in So Cal. Will not take job if I have to travel on freeways. If its a referral I will but calculate in freeway time.

One thing to look into. Is there any wholesalers for pavers in Havasu. They may have to be trucked in which would cost more. Stamped concrete might be a better option out there. Last I heard from a pumper from Havasu was they are down to 3 pumpers from 300 in the boom.

If you were a little closer it would be feasible. My Aunt lives in HB and on a good day It takes me 45 min one way. To much going on local to break away that far (close but traffic hold ups) from me. Have alot of jobs close to make my price right. Access to all my equipment keeps overhead down. I have enough jobs close to go by tool storage numerous times a day as none of my trucks and trailers have capacity for everything. Love to expand, tried and sold dump truck. Lots of overhead with Big trucks and hungry competition that are trying to survive. Can always stay busy with what I got going now. But wont get rich....
