New Jersey's Most Trusted Hardscape & Paver Contractor

For over a decade, Panthera Pavers Experts has been transforming New Jersey properties with expert hardscaping that combines structural engineering, premium materials, and artisan craftsmanship.

What started as a small masonry crew in Elizabeth has grown into one of New Jersey's most trusted hardscape companies. We partner with industry leaders like Belgard, Techo-Bloc, and Nicolock to deliver driveways, patios, retaining walls, and outdoor kitchens that stand the test of time—and New Jersey's freeze-thaw cycles.

Every project begins with a detailed onsite consultation where we assess drainage, soil conditions, and your property's unique layout. We don't just lay pavers—we engineer outdoor spaces that handle New Jersey's freeze-thaw cycles, heavy rainfall, and years of daily use without settling, cracking, or shifting.

Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to the most common questions about our hardscape and paver services.

Most residential paver driveways take 3–7 days depending on size and complexity. This includes excavation, base preparation (compacted gravel layers), paver installation, edge restraints, and polymeric sand application. Larger or more complex projects with curves, patterns, or borders may take up to 10 days. We provide a detailed timeline during your free consultation.

We exclusively use premium products from Belgard, Techo-Bloc, Nicolock, and Cambridge Pavers. These brands offer the highest strength ratings (8,000+ PSI), superior color retention, and lifetime structural warranties. We also work with natural stone including bluestone, travertine, and granite for clients who prefer a natural look.

Paver patio costs in New Jersey typically range from $18–$35 per square foot installed, depending on the paver style, pattern complexity, base requirements, and site conditions. A standard 300 sq ft patio runs roughly $5,400–$10,500. We provide free, itemized estimates so you know exactly what you're paying for—no hidden fees.

Absolutely. Interlocking pavers are one of the best surfaces for New Jersey's freeze-thaw climate. Unlike poured concrete that cracks, pavers flex independently with ground movement. Our proper base preparation (6–12" of compacted gravel) plus geotextile fabric ensures drainage and prevents frost heaving. We've been installing in New Jersey for 10+ years and our oldest installations still look great.

Yes. We handle the full permitting process for projects that require it (retaining walls over 4 feet, drainage modifications, etc.). For HOA communities, we prepare documentation and material samples for your board's review. Our experience working with New Jersey municipal codes means faster approvals and zero surprises.
