Cambridge Pavers Home Additions & ADU: The Woodland Hills Owner’s Guide
If you’re planning a home addition or ADU in Woodland Hills using Cambridge Pavers, expect to invest between $45,000 and $130,000 for a full addition, and $90,000 to $220,000 for a complete ADU with hardscape. Cambridge Pavers aren’t a single product you swap out like a water heater: they’re a paving system that anchors driveways, walkways, patios, and pool surrounds, and when the pavers fail or the base beneath them shifts, the repair is about diagnosing why the system broke, not just replacing a brick. Most Woodland Hills owners call us when they see pavers sinking near a new addition’s foundation line, or when a paver edge is crumbling where the old yard meets the new build.
We’re Mason Remodeling Co Woodland Hills, led by Isaac Pruett. We’re an independent contractor serving Woodland Hills and the surrounding Valley neighborhoods. We’re not affiliated with Cambridge Pavers, but we work with their paving systems regularly on additions and ADU projects across the area.
Key Takeaways:
- Cambridge Paver repairs tied to home additions in Woodland Hills typically run $3,500 – $11,000 for a patio or walkway rebuild, while full addition hardscape packages fall within the $45,000 – $130,000 range.
- Failure in this climate is usually about the base layer, not the paver itself: expansive clay soil, irrigation overspray, and drainage changes after the addition goes in.
- We stock Cambridge-compatible pavers, edge restraints, polymeric sand, and base material on our trucks for most Woodland Hills jobs.
- You get a written price before work starts. Every time. No verbal estimate that grows on the final bill.
Which Cambridge Pavers Models This Applies To
Cambridge Pavers manufactures several product lines that show up constantly on Woodland Hills home additions and ADU projects. The ones we handle most often are the Ledgestone, RoundTable, and Maytrx collections, plus their permeable paver lines that newer California ADU projects sometimes require for stormwater compliance. Each line uses different dimensions and joint profiles, so matching matters. A Ledgestone paver runs roughly 6″ x 9″ or 6″ x 12″ depending on the pattern, while RoundTable is a tumbled style that gives a softer, older look. You can’t always substitute one for another without a visible seam.
Here’s the compatibility gotcha we see in Woodland Hills: Cambridge Pavers updates dye lots and mold profiles over time. If your original patio went in ten years ago and the addition needs a matching extension, a fresh pallet may not match the faded, settled existing pavers. We handle this by pulling from multiple supplier lots or blending new pavers into the current field so the transition isn’t a hard line. Aftermarket equivalents exist, but Cambridge’s color consistency and dimensional tolerances are tight. For structural areas like driveways, we recommend staying with genuine Cambridge Pavers. For decorative borders or small repairs, a quality equivalent can work, but we’ll show you the match before we lay a single stone.

Signs Your Cambridge Pavers Home Additions & ADU Is Failing
- Settling or sunken pavers near the addition’s foundation. The original grade was probably disturbed during foundation work, or the base wasn’t compacted to the same depth as the surrounding area. This is the most common failure we see in Woodland Hills additions.
- Crumbling or chipping edges where pavers meet a new walkway or stair. That usually means the edge restraint wasn’t installed or has worked loose. Without a solid edge, the whole field starts migrating outward over time.
- Weeds sprouting through the joints within weeks of cleaning. Polymeric sand has broken down or was never applied at the right depth. Weeds are the symptom; failed joint stabilization is the cause.
- Water pooling against the addition’s exterior wall after rain. The paver pitch may have been laid too flat, or the drainage plan didn’t account for the new roofline. Water against a Woodland Hills addition wall invites bigger problems than pavers.
- Pavers loosening or wobbling underfoot. This is a base failure, not a paver failure. Once the base shifts, no amount of re-sanding will hold the surface steady.

AfterReplacement Cost & What’s Included
For a Cambridge Pavers patio or walkway tied to a home addition in Woodland Hills, the installed price typically ranges from $3,500 to $11,000. A full addition project with Cambridge Paver hardscape, foundation work, and structural build sits in the $45,000 to $130,000 range, and a complete ADU with pavers, utilities, and finishes lands between $90,000 and $220,000. The spread depends on square footage, base depth required, access to the yard, and whether we’re matching existing pavers or starting fresh.
What’s included: removal of failed pavers and base material, compaction of a new aggregate base to the correct depth for the load it’s carrying, re-installation or replacement of edge restraints, fresh polymeric sand in all joints, and site cleanup. The price covers materials, labor, and haul-away. You’ll see the line-item breakdown in writing before we begin. Our 365-Day Done Right Promise applies: if the work isn’t right within a year of completion, we make it right at no cost.
DIY or Call Us?
You can safely inspect the surface yourself: look for sunken areas, check whether edge restraints are visible or buried, and note where water sits after rain. That’s useful information to have when you call, and it helps us give you a more accurate estimate over the phone.
What you shouldn’t do is start pulling up pavers and rebuilding the base on your own, especially near a new addition’s foundation. You’re working next to structural concrete, possibly drainage lines, and in some cases, the utility stub-outs for an ADU. Getting the compaction and pitch wrong means water flows toward the house instead of away from it, and that mistake costs more than the original repair would have. For paver work tied to a home addition or ADU in Woodland Hills, call (831) 290-6866 and we’ll take it from there.
FAQs
Cambridge Pavers themselves can last 30 to 50 years, but the base beneath them typically needs attention every 15 to 20 years in Woodland Hills because of clay soil movement and irrigation patterns. Call (831) 290-6866 for an assessment of your specific setup.
Yes, if the settling is localized and the base is otherwise sound, we can lift the affected pavers, add and compact base material, and reset the area for $3,500 to $7,000 depending on size. If the settling spans the entire field, a full rebuild is the honest fix.
Most Cambridge Pavers repairs or replacements tied to a Woodland Hills addition take two to four working days from start to finish, depending on square footage and base depth. We’ll give you a schedule in writing before the first day of work.
