American Paving Design designs and installs custom paver driveways, pool decks, patios and outdoor living spaces across Hilton Head Island, from Sea Pines to Hilton Head Plantation. Island homes face conditions that mainland homes don't: salt spray, sandy soil, a high water table and some of the strictest architectural review standards in the Lowcountry. Since 2009, we've installed more than 6,000 paver projects across the Lowcountry, and every island project is built for those conditions from the base up.

Why Hilton Head homeowners choose American Paving Design

Built for island conditions. Hilton Head's sandy soil and high water table make base preparation critical. We excavate deeper, compact our crushed-stone base in layers, and plan drainage before we dig. Near the beach and around saltwater pools, we recommend polymeric sand joints and a sealer schedule that keeps salt from soaking in.

Plantation and ARB experience. We help homeowners through the architectural review process in communities such as Sea Pines, Palmetto Dunes, Shipyard, Long Cove, Wexford, Hilton Head Plantation, Port Royal Plantation, Indigo Run and Palmetto Hall. For a small additional fee, we can prepare your ARB paperwork, including site plans, product specs and color samples, so your submittal moves smoothly.

We protect the trees. Many island lots have mature live oaks, and the Town of Hilton Head Island protects many trees. We lay out and build around root zones so the trees stay healthy and the pavers stay level, and we check whether any work near protected trees needs approval.

Scheduling for second homes and rentals. Many island homes are second homes or vacation rentals. We can schedule installation around your rental bookings.

"American Paving Design was amazing from start to finish on our driveway and entryway project! We could not be happier with the beautiful look it has given our home.

Thank you American Paving Design." Nancy H., Hilton Head Island (Google review)

"American Paving Design was a pleasure to work with. The initial sales presentation at my property and showroom was informative with computerized prints which in our case was our driveway.
