Paver Patios, Driveways and Walkways in Salem
Jessamine Landscaping builds paver patios, walkways and driveways in Salem, 32 miles from our Anderson base. A lot of the Salem homes we see are older, and the hardscape is showing its age. Pavers are how we replace it. Every job starts with the dig-out and a compacted base, then the slope for water, then the pavers.
Call 864-633-4524 for a Free EstimateHow much does paver installation cost in Salem?
The price follows the square footage, how much ground has to be dug out, the base the ground needs, the paver you pick, how much slope and drainage work the yard calls for, and how accessible the project site is. Upstate red clay holds water, so the base and drainage get the work before the pavers do. Estimates are free, and you get the number after we see the yard.

Curved paver walks that follow the wall in Salem
In one Salem backyard we ran a paver walk along the whole curve of the block wall, with a darker border where it meets the new sod. It opens onto a wide gray patio with a step down by the back door.
Curves like that take more cutting than a straight run, and every cut paver still has to sit tight against the edge. We set the base and the slope first, so you're walking on a flat, locked surface and rain runs off instead of sitting there. We work in Keowee Key and across the rest of Salem.
What we've built in Salem
- A lot of Salem homes are older, and we update the landscaping, the lighting and the patios.
- Keowee Key homes are part of our Salem work.
- We built a tall curved block wall around a new lawn in Salem, with lights tucked under the cap and a paver walk along its base.
- On a raised paver patio we set a metal-roof gazebo, with step lights in the patio edge.
- Above the wall, under tall pines and hardwoods, we mulched the slope and set boulders into it.
Common Questions
How long do pavers last?
A paver patio lasts as long as its base does. The pavers themselves are durable. What fails early is the part underneath: ground that was never dug out to firm soil, stone that was not compacted, or water with nowhere to go. We have built them for decades, and it comes down to the base.
How do you ensure accuracy on build to height and pitch?
We use state of the art technology such as ziplevels and self leveling rotary laser levels to ensure our measurements are exactly where we need them to be. Whether this means we need a perfect 2% pitch to ensure water runs off or the top of our patio needs to be flush with your doorway or driveway, we have the tools needed to deliver a high quality product.

How We Work
- Decades of experience. We bring decades of experience to every paver patio, driveway and walkway.
- Base prep first. Proper materials and base prep under every paver, because the base decides how long the job lasts.
- Proper water drainage. The slope and drainage are planned before the first paver goes down, so water leaves the patio.
