Paver Installation in Santa Monica, California
Two miles from the ocean, salt air and marine-layer moisture run constantly, and they attack the joints in a paver surface long before they touch the pavers themselves. Joint sand choice and sealing schedule matter more here than anywhere else in LA County.
We spec polymeric joint sand rated for wet conditions on coastal jobs and recommend resealing on a shorter cycle than we would inland. A Santa Monica patio sealed on a Woodland Hills schedule will grow moss in the joints.

What Santa Monica yards are actually like
In Santa Monica, we notice the air before we notice the yard. Properties only a short distance from the ocean live in a completely different environment than the projects our crews build in the Valley, particularly when it comes to exposed metal, lighting and anything that sits outside year-round. Space is another recurring issue: some Santa Monica projects involve getting demolition out through a side yard barely wide enough for equipment. That forces us to plan deliveries and debris removal much more carefully than we would on a large suburban lot. Homeowners here also tend to respond well to simpler designs, fewer materials, cleaner lines and outdoor spaces that do not feel overloaded. Santa Monica has taught NexGen that making a backyard feel calm can require considerably more planning than filling it with features.
What we install
Paver patios, driveways, walkways and pool decks. Every installation is full excavation, grading, compacted base rock at the depth the use requires, then pavers, joint sand and polymeric sealing. Driveways get a deeper base than patios because they carry vehicle weight. Anyone quoting the same base for both has not priced your job properly.
If your project runs wider than pavers alone, we also handle driveways, retaining and planter walls, sealing and repair, and complete backyard builds under one team and one warranty.
How often should pavers be resealed in Santa Monica?
Closer to every two to three years rather than the four to five you can get away with inland. The marine layer keeps joints damp for a good part of the year, which is what drives sand washout and joint growth. Resealing is cheap compared to relaying a settled surface.
