Service 02/11 Outside

Interlocking pavers.

Pavers that shift almost always have a base problem. We excavate, lay a membrane, compact crushed stone in layers, then set the bedding sand, the pavers and polymeric sand. The result stays flat winter after winter.

01 What the job includes

02 Under the surface

What lasts
is what you
don’t see.

A patio that lifts after three winters almost never has a surface problem. It has a base problem. So we build the base like it’s the job — because it is.

  2. Lay membrane
  3. Crushed stone
  4. Compact
  5. Screed the bed
  6. Set pavers
  7. Lock the joints

03 Before & after

Cracked slabs → interlocking patio

The surface was not the problem. The base was — uncompacted and badly drained, it let frost lift every slab.

05 Questions

Straight
answers.

Anything else? Call 438-459-5772 — we’d rather answer than have you guess.

A base that is too thin, poorly compacted or badly drained: water collects, freezes and lifts the surface. The lasting fix is to rebuild the base under the affected area, not just reset the pavers.

It hardens in the joints, keeps weeds and ants out and stabilises the pavers. We recommend it for almost every project.

A few days for a typical patio, depending on size and access. The exact timeline is written in the quote.

Yes. We come out, look, measure and send you a written quote. You pay nothing and commit to nothing.
