Paver Driveways
A paver driveway is built much deeper than a patio, because cars are heavy. We excavate to the depth the soil needs, build a thick compacted base, set the pavers in a pattern that resists vehicle load and finish with edge restraints that keep it locked in.

About paver driveways
How thick should the base be?
It depends on the soil, but driveways need much more base than patios. We look at your site and decide before we dig.
Can pavers handle snow and salt?
They can, and a good sealer or sand joint helps. We explain what to expect with winter care.
Can I drive on it right away?
Pavers are usable once they are compacted and the joints are filled, and we tell you when it is ready.
