Viking Pavers

We got three bids for putting pavers in place of our pebbled concrete sidewalk. Viking was the lowest in price, but we also felt comfortable with Karen Skinner, the project manager.

We had some time constraints and Viking worked around those. Gustavo and his crew did a beautiful job, just as we wanted. They added a curved edge to part of the sidewalk, filled in the walkway to our front patio, and redid our front stairs with a beautiful bullnose step. In addition, they added 6" of width to the sidewalk.

Karen was in contact with us throughout the project, responding if we had any questions. Crew members were polite and worked hard. We are very happy with the outcome and recommend Viking Pavers/Karen Skinner highly.

We were looking to upgrade the front of our house and replace our dead lawn and cracked driveway. We were looking for one contractor to install artificial grass and pavers for our driveway. I did a lot of research and found Viking Pavers with positive reviews. I called and spoke with Sophie (project designer), and she was available the next day for a consultation. Sophie took all the measurements and asked if we were okay with her, including some design ideas she had. Her design was much better than the basic ideas we had for how the front of the house would look. She listened to our suggestions and incorporated them into the final plan for turf and pavers.
Sophie and Gustavo (construction supervisor) conducted a walkthrough of the project so all details were discussed and would be included in the final product. A group text message was set up so that everyone would be included in any questions or comments regarding the project. Communication was excellent regarding when and how the project would progress. There was minimal impact on us, other than parking on the side of our house so the materials could be delivered on kept on the street in front of our house until needed.
We had frequent visits from Gustavo and Sophie throughout the project to make sure there were no issues. The project was estimated to take two weeks to complete but was done in one week.
We could not be happier with our front yard and driveway. We highly recommend Viking Pavers. Our front yard is better than we imagined.

I hired Viking Pavers to replace my cracked concrete driveway, pathways to the back, and an old and broken concrete patio. I met with Sophie who listened to my desires for a design which would be visually pleasing, fit in with the architecture of the house, and improve the functionality of the spaces. Along with providing me with a catalog, she directed me to a paver supply company where I saw sample installations of pavers in many styles and colors.
I am proud of new paved editions of those old spaces.They are beautiful, well designed, and expertly installed. I have received many complements from neighbors and passers by. Indeed, I am pleased to look at what I consider to be works of art.
Sophie, the designer, and Gustavo the project manager were great to work with. Gustavo and his crew did an excellent job with the demolition and removal of the old structures and the installation of my beautiful new spaces. I also appreciate the warranty that Viking Pavers provides.

Excellent experience. Sophie was our sales person, and she was knowledgeable, friendly and professional. She helped us with a great design for our backyard. Gustavo was our project manager and he did a great job. The work was finished ahead of schedule and with really high quality. The team on the job was excellent (especially Jose, who was amazing). Great service throughout!

This was our third time using Viking to place pavers around our pool and terrace above. We would not be back with Viking if we did not like their work. Some things worth mentioning:
Sales: Greg came out and sized up the job and was quick to provide a detailed estimate. It is unusual to have a sales person also being a hands-on person during the project. Greg did the word work to adjust the wood deck to match the new pavers. He was always available and provided assistance as was appropriate.
Supervision: Gustavo was here every day so that I could work with him to made adjustments and changes as we wished. He also did the sealing of the pavers himself.
Crew: I am amazed at the skill of the workers. They are very adept at cutting the pavers in tight places and making things work well in a difficult area. This job required the crew to hand carry up the old concrete three sets of stairs for removal. I wasn't sure that they would be able to do the job because of the difficult location. Not only did the have to hand carry the old concrete up and away, also hand carry pallets of pavers down to the work area. It is lucky they are very strong because carrying one paver down is as much as I could handle. I should add that I like a crew that comes every day and does not try to work several jobs at once. This was the case for Viking. The job was estimated to take 7 to 10 days, and they finished in eight
Warranty: Viking provides a long warranty on their work. On a job that they did for us ten year ago, some of the pavers had settled. I asked they that was covered by their warranty, and they said yes. During the next day after finishing the main project, they were here adding sand to make the area level again along with removing the old pavers and replacing them on the leveled area.
Recommend? Of course I recommend them as I would not have hired them a third time if I did not like their operation.

We just finished a project with Viking Pavers and were so pleased! The design process was smooth and accommodating and Gustavo and his crew was incredible. We had a big drainage project as well as pavers and synthetic turf. They did a wonderful job and we can't wait to enjoy our new backyard.

We hired Viking Pavers to replace all our hardscape and retaining walls (3.5" high, not large) on our property. With respect to their work on the pavers and walls, all was well done but I would not recommend you commission this company for anything beyond pavers and simple, short retaining walls. Our very expensive lighting system they installed (within concrete steps so can't be fixed w/o major renovation) has pretty much failed over the past few years. Most of the step lights no longer work in the backyard (2 out of 7), the in-lawn up lights haven't worked for years and remaining path lights only work in the front yard. There are better complete landscape contractors out there, but if you want just your driveway or a simple flat patio done with no drainage or lighting requirements then they are adequate.

Professional, efficient, good price, quality product. Willing to work with you to make sure everything is to your liking.

I submitted a request for a consultation on their website yesterday and got a text today from Sophie; I called since she had left her #. The conversation started out pleasant enough. I said I needed a pathway. Then she asked me if I thought I had at least 400 square foot of space that needed hardscaping and I said I wasn't sure but there was also some other work I needed on the other side of my house. Then I mentioned that I had seen their ad for "free demolition of existing surface" because I had an old concrete driveway that I also needed removed and she immediately got snippy and said, "We don't do any work for free. You would have to replace whatever we remove with something." No duh! Obviously I know no one works for free, but you just lost my business because of your nasty attitude. Not good customer service so I wouldn't ever hire this company!

Sophie, John and the team at Viking Pavers did an incredible job. They helped transform our driveway and backyard space in a few weeks. Would definitely recommend working with them.
