Driveway pavers in Fargo ND - a driveway that locks together under your car
Old driveway cracked, sinking or flaking? We dig it out and lay interlocking pavers on a solid base built to carry your car.
What does a paver driveway in Fargo involve?
Driveway pavers in Fargo are concrete pavers set on a layer of sand over a packed crushed-stone base, and they stand up to deicing salt better than most paving because they're dense and strong and soak up very little water. At Masoncraft Fargo Concrete and Masonry, we lay them for homeowners in Fargo, Moorhead, West Fargo and the cities around them.
Most people call me when the old concrete is cracked, sinking or flaking, or when they need room for one more car. The price mostly turns on the square footage, whether an old driveway has to come out, how deep a base your ground needs and how detailed the pattern and border get, while the schedule turns on the weather and on any permit check with the city. If your driveway cuts into a slope, a short retaining wall can hold the yard back from the edge. When I come out, the estimate explains what we'd do and why, so you can weigh it before you decide anything.

Why homeowners trust Masoncraft with their paver driveway
I start by looking at how your old driveway failed, where water runs when it rains and where your lot meets the sidewalk, because those decide how deep the base goes and where the edges sit. If a repair will serve you better than a new driveway, I'll tell you so.
Once work starts, we dig out, pack the base, set the sand and pavers and lock the edges so nothing creeps into the lawn. If the brick steps beside the drive are worn, I'll mention it, since our masonry restoration work can bring them back to suit the house. Every driveway we lay is backed by our satisfaction guarantee.
Paver driveway questions from Fargo
How much does a paver driveway cost in Fargo?
A sand-based concrete paver driveway in Fargo usually costs about $14 to $17 per square foot, not counting tearing out an old driveway. That price guide figures a 4-inch compacted gravel base, so when you compare quotes, ask each installer how deep a base theirs includes. The estimate I write gives you the figure for your own driveway.
How thick should the base be under a paver driveway?
Trade guidance calls for a packed crushed-stone base at least 6 inches thick under a driveway on soil that drains well. Where the soil stays wet or is weak in a colder climate, the same guidance says to plan on 2 to 4 inches more, so base depth is one of the first things I look at.
What is the best way to melt ice on a paver driveway?
Rock salt is the least damaging deicer for concrete pavers, and trade guidance says to use it whenever you can. Stay away from magnesium chloride, which can break down all types of concrete, and if you need something faster, the same guidance allows careful use of calcium chloride.
How wide can a driveway be in Fargo?
Under the city's driveway rules, a home driveway in Fargo has to be at least 9 feet and no more than 30 feet wide at the sidewalk line. With the City Engineer's approval it can reach a maximum of 36 feet or half the width of the lot. On a lot near a block corner, the City Engineer also approves where the driveway goes, so I check that before we lay anything out.
How do I know if my paver installer needs a North Dakota license?
If the job's cost, value or price is more than $4,000, North Dakota requires the person doing the work to be licensed as a contractor. Ask any installer you're considering whether they're licensed before you sign anything.
Can pavers be installed in winter in Fargo?
Usually not, because trade guidance calls for laying the sand and pavers only when the base isn't frozen and no heavy rain or snow is falling. I'll tell you at the estimate how the weather is likely to shape your start.
