Hardscapes & Patios
Are you weary of plain, uninspiring and cracked concrete patios? Or is your asphalt driveway turning into a crumbling mess? There are solutions — add the warmth of color, the depth of geometric pattern and the elegance of clean design with concrete pavers.
We only install nationally known brands such as Cambridge (with a protective coating) or Belgard (which kiln-fires coloring throughout the paver rather than just on the topside). Both resist significant weathering and fading — unlike discount brands found in big box stores.

The Patio & Hardscape Process
The most important factor in patio paver installation is not what you see — it's what you don't see that matters most.

2. Grading
Establishing proper grading, always sloping away from the house to allow rain water to gently flow away from the foundation.

3. Compaction
A tamper is used to properly compact the ground and landscaping fabric is installed to help prevent outgrowth of weeds.
4
4. Crusher Run
Crusher run or gravel (often several tons!) is installed to provide a strong foundation and allow for proper drainage.
5
5. Sand Layer
A layer of coarse sand is put on top of the crusher run and the pavers are laid in the desired design pattern and leveled.

6. Polymeric Sand
Polymeric sand is brushed out on top of the pavers to fill the gaps, act as dry mortar and create a finished look.
