Dominion™ Pavers – Strong, Classic, and Built to Last
Mutual Materials Dominion™ Pavers
At Lee’s General Landscaping, we don’t just install patios and walkways—we build outdoor spaces that last. When it comes to pavers, Mutual Materials’ Dominion™ Pavers are one of our top choices.
If you want a timeless, durable surface for your patio, driveway, or garden path, Dominion™ pavers are a solid pick. They have that old-world, European courtyard feel but with the strength to handle everyday use.
This guide covers why Dominion™ pavers are a great choice, the colors and sizes available, and a step-by-step installation guide if you’re up for a DIY project.
Why Dominion™ Pavers?
These pavers are built for both style and durability. Homeowners choose them because they are:
- Durable – Made from strong concrete that meets industry standards.
- Classic in Appearance – Tumbled edges create a soft, aged look.
- Versatile – Suitable for patios, driveways, and garden paths.
- Available in Great Colors – Two natural blends complement any landscape.
Dominion™ pavers blend beautifully into any landscape.
Color Options
Dominion™ pavers come in two colors:
- Cascade Blend – A mix of gray and earth tones, offering a natural, relaxed look.
- Summit Blend – A warmer mix of rich, natural colors.
Both colors work well with trees, flowers, and hardscape features like fire pits or seating walls.
Sizes & Patterns
These pavers come in three sizes, allowing for a variety of patterns.
Shape | Size (inches) | Pieces per sq. ft. |
---|---|---|
Square | 5½” x 5½” | 4.73 |
Rectangle | 5½” x 8¼” | 3.16 |
Large Rectangle | 8¼” x 11” | 1.59 |
Pick the right size and pattern for a unique, custom look.
Note: The large rectangle pavers are not tumbled, making them stronger and ideal for high-traffic areas like driveways.
Installation Patterns
The layout of your pavers changes the overall look of your project. Some popular options include:
- 3-Piece Ashlar Pattern – A natural, mixed-size layout.
- Corridor Layered Pattern – Clean and modern.
- Herringbone – Strong interlocking pattern, ideal for driveways.
- Muster K – A classic European-style design.
- Running Bond – Simple, traditional, and easy to install.
How to Install Dominion™ Pavers
Installing pavers takes preparation, but with the right steps, you can achieve a professional-looking result.
For detailed installation instructions, see the Mutual Materials full install guide.
Step 1: Mark & Excavate
- Mark the project area with stakes and string.
- Excavate to a depth of seven inches (or deeper for driveways).
- Create a slight slope (⅛”–¼” per foot) to allow for proper drainage.
- Remove loose soil and debris.
Step 2: Prepare the Base
- Spread a thin layer of ¾” crushed rock over the area.
- Compact the base using a plate compactor.
- Add and compact additional base rock in layers:
- Four inches for patios.
- Six to eight inches for driveways.
- Ensure the base is smooth and even.
Step 3: Bedding Sand
- Spread one to one-and-a-half inches of clean, washed concrete sand.
- Use screed pipes and a 2x4 board to level the sand.
- Do not compact the sand before placing pavers.
Step 4: Lay the Pavers
- Start from a straight edge, such as a building or walkway.
- Place pavers gently on the sand without pressing or hammering them in.
- Mix pavers from multiple pallets to ensure an even color blend.
- Cut pavers as needed to fit edges.
Step 5: Edge Restraints
- Install plastic edge restraints along open sides.
- Secure restraints with 10-inch spikes, spaced eight to twelve inches apart.
Step 6: Lock It In
- Spread joint sand over the pavers and sweep it into the gaps.
- Run a plate compactor over the area.
- Sweep in more joint sand, compact again, and remove excess.
