Homeowners comparing paver contractors in Andover, NJ, often focus on price first and design experience second, when the order should really be reversed. A paver patio installed without proper base preparation looks fine on day one and starts shifting, cracking, or pooling water within a season or two, regardless of how attractive the pavers themselves look in the showroom.

Sal Assante Sr. founded Gardens of the World after returning from World War II, bringing a globally inspired eye for garden design to North Jersey properties. 

Now in its third generation of family ownership, the company has kept that same design-build structure intact for more than 50 years, so the hands that draft a paver layout are the same ones that excavate, compact, and set it in place.
