Paver Driveway Installation and Design
The Areas Leading Outdoor Living Company
The First Thing Guests See — and the Last Thing You Should Settle On
Most driveways are an afterthought. A patch of asphalt, a slab of concrete, something to park on and forget about. A paver driveway is different. It’s the first thing guests see when they pull up, the first thing that signals what kind of home this is.
Done right, it works with the front porch pavers, the walkway, and the patio out back. One cohesive design from the curb to the back of the yard.
A Plus Landscaping has been building paver driveways in Central PA since 2006. We’re a family-owned design-build company based in Reinholds, and we treat a driveway the same way we treat any other part of the yard: as a real project, built by certified installers, and designed to fit the whole property.
Paver Driveways, Front Porch Pavers, and Paver Steps
A Plus Landscaping designs and installs paver driveways, front porch pavers, paver walkways, and paver steps as one connected system. When the driveway, porch, and steps are planned together, the front of your home reads as one finished space, not a collection of separate projects
Paver Driveways
A paver driveway is a driveway built from interlocking concrete or stone units set on a compacted base. Unlike poured concrete, pavers flex with Central PA’s freeze-thaw cycles without cracking. If a section ever needs attention, individual pavers can be lifted and reset without tearing out the whole driveway. They’re available in a range of colors, shapes, and patterns to match the style of your home.
Front Porch Pavers
Front porch pavers define the entry to your home. The front porch is the transition between the driveway and the front door, and when it’s built from the same pavers as the driveway and walkway, the whole front of the house reads as one design.
Paver Steps
Paver steps connect levels when there’s a grade change between the driveway, porch, or yard. Most properties in Central PA have some elevation to work with, and a set of paver steps is often what makes the front entry usable. Built from the same pavers as the driveway or walkway, they tie the entire front design together instead of reading as an afterthought.
Why Pavers Hold Up Better Than Concrete or Asphalt
Paver driveways, front porch pavers, and paver steps outperform poured concrete and asphalt in Central Pennsylvania because they’re built to move.
- Freeze-Thaw Durability: Pavers flex with ground movement through Pennsylvania winters. Poured concrete cracks under the same conditions.
- Individual Replacement: If a paver ever gets damaged or stained, it can be lifted and replaced on its own. Concrete and asphalt require patching or full replacement.
- Long Service Life: A properly installed paver driveway can last for decades, especially when the base and drainage are done right.
- Design Flexibility: Pavers come in dozens of colors, shapes, and patterns, so the driveway, front porch pavers, and paver steps can be matched to the home.
- Curb Appeal: Pavers add visual weight to the front of the home and tend to increase perceived property value more than a standard concrete or asphalt driveway.
We also build into the back of the property. If a paver driveway is the first project, a patio, retaining walls, or a full outdoor living space is often the next one. Same team. Same standards.
How We Build a Paver Driveway
A paver driveway installation is a five-step process. A Plus Landscaping follows the same process on every project, whether it’s a standalone driveway or a full front yard redesign that includes front porch pavers and paver steps.
- On-Site Consultation: A Design Professional contacts you within one to two business days, comes to your property, and walks the space with you.
- Custom Design: We design the driveway, front porch pavers, and paver steps as one connected plan. For larger projects, we produce full 3D renderings before anyone breaks ground.
- Site Prep and Base: We excavate, grade, and build a compacted base that handles vehicle weight and moves water away from the home. The base is what determines how long the driveway lasts.
- Installation: Certified installers lay the pavers to the approved pattern, cut edges clean, and set edge restraints. The job site is kept clean throughout.
- Final Walk-Through: We walk through the finished project with you, confirming every detail.
One Contractor, One Plan
The reason most front-yard projects don’t come together is that three or four different contractors handle three or four different pieces. The driveway crew doesn’t talk to the landscaper. The step installer doesn’t coordinate with the person building the porch. Everything gets built, nothing matches.
A Plus Landscaping handles the whole project as one job. The paver driveway, the front porch pavers, the paver steps, the walkway, the landscaping, the lighting, the grading and drainage. One Design Professional managing the project from the first site visit to the final walk-through.

Frequently Asked Questions About Paver Driveways, Front Porch Pavers, and Paver Steps
How long does a paver driveway last?
A well-installed paver driveway can last for decades. How long it lasts depends on the base, the drainage, and the quality of the pavers themselves.
Are front porch pavers better than a poured concrete porch?
Yes. Front porch pavers handle freeze-thaw cycles better than poured concrete, don’t crack across large slabs, and can be repaired one unit at a time. They also give you more design options and match the driveway and walkway visually, which a concrete porch can’t do.
Can paver steps match my driveway?
Yes. Paver steps are built from the same material family as the driveway, front porch pavers, and walkway, which is the point. When everything matches, the front of the home reads as one design instead of four separate projects.
How much does a paver driveway cost in Central PA?
The cost depends on the size of the driveway, the pavers you choose, the site prep required, and whether front porch pavers and paver steps are included in the project. A Plus Landscaping provides a detailed proposal after an on-site consultation.
Do you install just the driveway, or the whole front yard?
Both. A Plus Landscaping installs paver driveways as standalone projects and as part of a full front-yard redesign that includes front porch pavers, paver steps, walkways, landscaping, and lighting.
