Paving and Walkways Process

Our process ensures every paving and walkway project is completed to the highest standards:

1. Site Assessment & Planning:
   We evaluate your landscape, soil type, drainage, and slope to design the ideal layout and choose the right materials.
2. Excavation & Site Preparation:
   Clearing of vegetation, debris, and topsoil to create a stable foundation for the paving or walkway installation.
3. Base Layer Installation:
   A base of compacted gravel or crushed stone is laid to provide support and proper drainage.
4. Edge Restraints:
   Installing edge restraints to maintain the shape and prevent shifting of paving materials.
5. Paving Installation:
   We carefully lay pavers, stones, or concrete according to the design, ensuring proper leveling and alignment.
6. Joint Sanding or Sealing:
   For pavers, we fill the joints with sand to lock them in place, while concrete is sealed to prevent cracking.
7. Compaction & Finishing:
   We use a plate compactor for pavers and smooth the concrete surface to ensure stability and a clean, uniform finish.
8. Cleanup & Final Inspection:
   A thorough inspection of the work to ensure proper leveling, drainage, and aesthetic quality, followed by site cleanup.
