What's Under Our Driveways

We install our driveways with a 4-inch crushed concrete base, compacted with a plate compactor. The next step is installing a fine sand base to level out the area.

Demolition & Base Prep

The first step to getting a new driveway is ripping up your existing concrete or pavers and subbase. After carting that away we’ll compact the ground and add a new RCA subbase. The RCA will be compacted using a plate compactor.

Installing Pavers

After the base is all level, we will be installing our driveway pavers. We will install a concrete edge to lock pavers in and prevent movement and settling. The final step will be sweeping mason sand to fill up the joints.

Frequently Asked Questions
Installing pavers is one of the quickest and most cost-effective ways to increase your home’s value and aesthetic appeal. By replacing old asphalt or cracked concrete, you create a durable, visually stunning entrance that makes a great first impression.
While standard patios use a crushed stone base, a poured concrete foundation is necessary for driveways to handle the extreme weight and constant movement of vehicles. This ensures the pavers remain perfectly level and do not shift over time.
During the initial grade assessment, our team calculates a specific "pitch" of 1.5 inches for every 10 feet of length. This strategic slope directs all water runoff away from your structures, preventing flooding and ensuring a functional surface.
After the pavers are laid, a concrete edge is installed around the perimeter as a restraint, followed by polymeric sand swept into the joints. Once misted with water, this sand hardens to lock out weeds and keep pavers together.
Yes, you can choose from a variety of name-brand materials like Flagstone or Belgard pavers and even add a "pop" of color with custom borders. This allows you to match the driveway perfectly to your home’s exterior.
After we visit your property to evaluate the grade and measurements, you can expect a detailed project estimate in just 12 to 24 hours. Our goal is to provide fast, reliable service to help you start your transformation.
