Dominion™ Pavers – Strong, Classic, and Built to Last

Mutual Materials Dominion™ Pavers

Dominion™ Pavers are one of the most popular pavers used by homeowners and contractors across the country. At Lee’s General Landscaping, we use them often because they are strong, reliable, and look great in almost any outdoor space.

If you want a patio, driveway, or walkway that looks timeless and holds up to daily use, Dominion™ pavers are a smart choice. They have a classic, European-style look but are built tough for modern homes.

Below, we explain why Dominion™ pavers are a great option, the colors and sizes available, and how they are properly installed.

Why Choose Dominion™ Pavers?

Dominion™ pavers are popular for a reason. They offer:

• Strong Concrete Construction – Built to handle foot traffic and vehicles.
• Classic Look – Soft, tumbled edges give them a natural, aged appearance.
• Flexible Design Options – Work well for patios, driveways, and walkways.
• Long-Term Performance – Designed to handle changing weather conditions.

Dominion™ pavers work well in both modern and traditional landscapes.

Color Options

Dominion™ pavers are available in two natural color blends:

• Cascade Blend – A mix of gray and earth tones for a calm, natural look.
• Summit Blend – Warmer colors with more contrast.

Both options blend nicely with gardens, retaining walls, fire pits, and outdoor seating areas.

Sizes & Patterns

Dominion™ pavers come in three sizes, making it easy to create different patterns.

Note: The large rectangle pavers are not tumbled, which makes them stronger for driveways and heavy-use areas.

Different sizes allow for custom patterns and layouts.

Popular Installation Patterns

The pattern you choose changes the look of your project.

Common layout options include:

• 3-Piece Ashlar – A mixed-size pattern with a natural feel.
• Corridor Pattern – Straight lines and a clean look.
• Herringbone – Strong interlocking pattern, great for driveways.
• Muster K – Traditional European-style design.
• Running Bond – Simple and easy to install.

How to Install Dominion™ Pavers

Installing pavers takes planning and proper preparation. Doing it correctly helps prevent shifting and drainage problems.

For full instructions, see the official
Mutual Materials Installation Guide.

Step 1: Mark and Excavate

1. Mark the area with stakes and string.
2. Dig about 7 inches deep (deeper for driveways).
3. Create a slight slope for drainage (⅛”–¼” per foot).
4. Remove loose soil and debris.

Step 2: Build the Base

1. Add ¾” crushed rock.

2. Compact it with a plate compactor.

3. Base depth guidelines:

   • 4 inches for patios
   • 6–8 inches for driveways

4. Make sure the base is level and firm.

Step 3: Add Bedding Sand

1. Spread 1–1½ inches of washed sand.
2. Level it with a screed board.
3. Do not compact the sand before placing pavers.

Step 4: Lay the Pavers

1. Start from a straight edge.
2. Place pavers gently on the sand.
3. Mix pavers from different pallets for even color.
4. Cut pavers where needed.

Step 5: Install Edge Restraints

1. Install edge restraints along open sides.
2. Secure them with spikes every 8–12 inches.

Step 6: Lock Everything In

1. Spread joint sand over the pavers.
2. Sweep sand into the joints.
3. Compact the surface.
4. Add more sand if needed and sweep clean.
