What’s Under Our Patios?
We install our patios to manufacture specs. 2-4” of crushed concrete base, compacted with a gas powered plate compactor followed by a ¼” of fine mason sand for the leveling process. Next step is paver installation, concreting edges in, and lastly poly sanding the joints of your new patio. (more detailed info provided below)
Setting Heights Based off the Grade of Your Property
The first step to installing a patio is assessing the grade of your property. This is the most important step in figuring out the height of your new paver project. This will determine everything else moving forward. Once we know our starting height we will add “pitch” to the pavers, we like to add 1.5” every 10ft pitched away from your home. This will ensure proper water run-off and make sure the patio does not feel like a ramp.
