A family crew that builds it like it’s our own yard
D&E is a true family business — Eli and his brothers work side by side on every job, and have since 2015. The standard is simple: do the base work right, show up when we say we will, and leave every site cleaner than we found it. It’s why our customers keep calling us back for the next project.
- Real base prep — excavation and compacted stone under every patio and walkway.
- Straight answers — a clear written estimate, no pressure and no surprise add-ons.
- One crew, start to finish — the family that sells the job builds the job.
- Clean, respectful job sites — your lawn, plants and driveway protected.

Questions homeowners ask us
What areas do you serve?
We're based in Somerville and work throughout Somerset County — including Bernardsville, Basking Ridge, Bedminster, Far Hills, Warren, Watchung, Bridgewater and Hillsborough — plus nearby towns in Middlesex County.
Are you licensed and insured?
Yes. D&E is a licensed and insured, family-owned company that has been building in Somerset County since 2015.
How much does a paver patio cost?
It depends on size, access, materials and add-ons like walls or a fire pit. We give free on-site estimates with a clear written price — no guesswork.
How soon can you start?
We schedule in the order estimates are approved. Booking your estimate early in the season gets you the best choice of start dates.
Why does base preparation matter so much?
The base is what keeps pavers level. A thin or poorly compacted base is the #1 reason patios sink and shift — so it's the part we never cut corners on.
