Cambridge Pavers Home Additions & ADU: The Woodland Hills Owner’s Guide
If you’re planning a home addition or ADU in Woodland Hills with Cambridge Pavers, the installed cost typically lands between $45,000 and $130,000 depending on the size of the structure, the paver scope, and how much site prep your lot needs. We stock and install Cambridge Pavers-compatible products for additions and ADUs across Woodland Hills, and we can usually have a written estimate in your hands within a few days of the first site visit. Most owners discover their Cambridge Pavers layout needs attention when a section of the patio, walkway, or driveway border starts shifting after a rainy season, or when the paver edge restraint fails and the outside rows start drifting apart.
What you’re seeing isn’t just a cosmetic problem. In Woodland Hills, we deal with clay-heavy soil that expands when it gets wet and contracts hard during the dry months. That movement is what pushes paver edges out of alignment, and it’s the exact reason a properly built base and edge restraint matter more than the paver stone itself.
Which Cambridge Pavers Models This Applies To
Cambridge Pavers runs several product lines that we see regularly in Woodland Hills additions and ADUs. The main families are the Ledgestone line (a tumbled, more rustic look), the Roundtable collection (a cobblestone-style paver with a smooth face), and the Maytrx and Pavingstones lines that show up most often in driveways and larger hardscape areas. Within each family, Cambridge produces multiple thicknesses: 60mm pavers are standard for pedestrian patios and walkways, while 80mm pavers are what you want under vehicle traffic like a driveway apron or an ADU parking pad.
Here’s the compatibility gotcha most people miss: Cambridge color names are not consistent across their product families. A “Sierra Blend” in the Roundtable line won’t match a “Sierra Blend” in the Ledgestone line. If you’re extending an existing Cambridge patio as part of a Woodland Hills ADU project, we need the original purchase paperwork or a leftover paver to match the color accurately. Without that physical sample, you risk a patch that looks like a patch.
For OEM versus aftermarket: Cambridge Pavers are widely available through authorized dealers in the LA area, and OEM is almost always the right call when you’re matching an existing installation. Aftermarket equivalents exist, but the color and texture tolerances are loose enough that we rarely recommend them for anything visible. On a new addition where you’re starting fresh, both options work, and we’ll price both so you can decide with real numbers.

Signs Your Cambridge Pavers Home Additions & ADU Is Failing
- Edge pavers drifting outward. The edge restraint (usually plastic or aluminum) has failed or was never installed. Once the outside row moves, the rest of the field follows within a season or two. In Woodland Hills soil, this is the number one failure we see.
- Low spots holding water after rain. The base material under the pavers has settled or washed out. Standing water accelerates paver degradation and turns into a slip hazard on walkways.
- Pavers rocking or clicking when you walk on them. The bedding sand layer has eroded or was laid too thick. A rocking paver means the locking sand underneath has failed, and adjacent pavers will start moving next.
- Wide, uneven gaps between stones. Polymeric sand has washed out and wasn’t replenished. When gaps open up, weeds get in, and the whole surface starts shifting underfoot.
- Faded or chalky surface with visible wear patterns. The sealant has worn off, or worse, the wear layer on the paver itself is breaking down. Cambridge pavers are durable, but a decade of Woodland Hills sun with no sealer will age any concrete paver.

AfterReplacement Cost & What’s Included
For a home addition or ADU that includes Cambridge Pavers as part of the scope, Woodland Hills pricing runs $45,000 to $130,000 for the full project. If you’re isolating just the paver portion of a larger addition, here’s how that breaks down:
- Paver patio installation: $3,500 – $11,000
- Paver driveway installation: $7,000 – $18,000
- Full home addition (including any paver scope): $45,000 – $130,000
- ADU construction (including any paver scope): $90,000 – $220,000
Every quote we write in Woodland Hills includes the paver material, base prep (excavation, compacted aggregate, bedding sand), edge restraint, polymeric sand, and labor. You get a written line-item price before any work starts. If the number changes, we tell you before it changes. Workmanship is covered by our 365-Day Done Right Promise: if it’s not done right, we make it right, in writing, on every project.
DIY or Call Us?
There’s an honest split here. If you have a few pavers that are rocking or a small low spot, you can absolutely reset individual stones yourself: pull the paver, add or remove bedding sand, tap it back level. That’s a weekend project, and it teaches you exactly how pavers behave. But if your edge restraint is failing across a whole patio, if you have large sections of the paver field settling, or if this paver work is part of a larger Woodland Hills addition or ADU, the base underneath is the problem. Fixing the base means excavation, compaction, and re-laying the entire surface. At that point, DIY costs you more in time and materials than it saves, and a poorly compacted base just fails again in two years.
If you’re not sure which situation you have, call us at (341) 217-2776. We’ll walk through what you’re seeing and tell you honestly whether it’s a Saturday fix or a full re-lay.
FAQs
With a properly compacted base and edge restraint, Cambridge Pavers on a patio or walkway should last 25 to 40 years in Southern California weather. Driveway applications under vehicle traffic tend to run closer to 20 to 30 years. The pavers themselves rarely fail; what fails is the base preparation underneath them. Call (341) 217-2776 if you want us to evaluate your existing base before you spend money on new pavers.
Yes, in most cases we can isolate the failed section, correct the base, and re-lay just that area. Color matching is the catch. If the original pavers have been down for more than a few years, the replacement section may be a shade off from the sun-faded original. We’ll always show you a sample next to the existing stone before we commit. Estimates are free.
A standalone paver patio in Woodland Hills typically takes 2 to 4 days from excavation to final compaction. A larger driveway or a full addition with integrated hardscape can run 1 to 2 weeks depending on scope and access. We’ll give you a written schedule with your estimate, and if site conditions change, you’ll know before it affects the timeline.
We source Cambridge Pavers directly through authorized dealers and coordinate delivery as part of the project. You won’t need to order anything yourself, and you’ll see the material cost as a line item on your quote. We also source complementary products from KraftMaid, Cambria, and Silestone when your addition or ADU includes interior finishes.
