APS National: the only U.S. firm dedicated exclusively to pedestal paver systems.

APS National was founded in 2000 with a single focus: elevated hardscapes and pedestal paver system installations, done right.

Who We Are

APS National was founded in 2000 by William McConnell Sr., Joseph Cappelli and William McConnell Jr. with roots in the masonry and paving trade going back further than the company itself.

While rooted in Boston, APS has built a national footprint with completed projects in 11 states and counting, spanning hospitality, healthcare, corporate, multifamily, higher education, industrial and government work.

Today, the team leads projects nationwide, providing not only installation, but also planning and consulting to ensure proper system selection, constructability, drainage, structural coordination and long-term performance.

Where APS National Adds Value

Pedestal paver systems solve specific problems that ground-level installation can't. Here are the most common applications where we bring our expertise and add value:

Rooftop Decks & Terraces

Any occupied space on a roof needs a system that protects the membrane while providing a finished, walkable surface and allowing access for maintenance.

Podium & Plaza Decks

Parking structures and elevated plazas need adjustable-height pavers to manage complex drainage and utility access underneath.

Green Roof Systems

Pedestal pavers create accessible pathways within green roofs, without disturbing the growing medium underneath.

Waterproofing Protection

When roof membranes need protection from foot traffic and equipment, pedestal systems create a buffer without penetrating the surface.

Amenity Decks

Pool decks, dining areas, and lounge spaces get a finished, level surface even over uneven or sloped roof substrates.
