Pavers in Manchester
What to know before you start.
Near wetlands and the coast, hardscaping counts as a structure under the town's regulations, so paving stays out of the 50-foot no-build zone.
Blue marine clay in low areas holds water. We build a deeper base and plan drainage there.
Local rules that can affect your pavers project.
50-foot no-build zone
No structures within 50 feet, and structures explicitly include patios, stone walls, terraces, steps, fences, pools and sheds.

Exterior changes visible from a public way in the Manchester Historic District need a Certificate of Appropriateness. At-grade walks and driveways are exempt. The guidelines favor narrow pickets and don't allow plastic fences visible from the street.
