What’s Under Our Walkways?

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 According to Your Property’s Grade

The first step in any walkway installation is assessing your property’s grade. This is the most critical step in determining the correct height for your new paver project, as it sets the foundation for everything that follows. Once we establish the starting height, we incorporate a slight “pitch” into the design — typically about 1.5 inches of slope for every 10 feet, angled away from your home. This ensures proper water runoff while maintaining a level, comfortable feel so your walkway doesn’t resemble a ramp.

Excavation and Removal of Soil or Debris in Your New Paver Area

With the heights set, our crew begins excavation. Using the string line as a guide, we dig down 5–7 inches to prepare the base. All excavated soil is removed from the site and properly disposed of. Once excavation is complete, the crew double-checks all heights to ensure accuracy before compacting the subsoil. This crucial step helps stabilize the ground and prevent future settling of your walkway.

Setting Up & Installing the Subbase

We begin filling the area with RCA (Recycled Concrete Aggregate), which we use as the standard sub-base material for all residential projects.

The RCA is installed in layers, or “lifts,” where we spread 2–3 inches at a time, compact it, and repeat until the base reaches the top of the forms. Once the desired amount of sub-base is in place, we add a layer of fine sand. This sand is spread evenly over the RCA, tamped down, and screeded to a smooth finish.

Since pavers are manufactured with a slight variation of about 1/16 inch, the sand layer helps us adjust and achieve a perfectly level surface for the finished patio.

Final Stages of Paver Construction

Next, we install a concrete edge along the exposed perimeter of the patio. This edge acts as a restraint, keeping the pavers securely in place and preventing them from shifting over time. The concrete is set about 1 inch below the top of the pavers and then covered with topsoil for a clean, finished look.

To complete the installation, we fill the joints between the pavers with sand. This process involves sweeping sand into the joints, then misting it with water to activate and set it to a hard finish. This final step helps lock the pavers together, discourages weed growth, and adds long-term stability to your patio.

Paver Sealants

You might notice how vibrant the colors of your patio look when it’s wet — and love that appearance. The good news is, there are sealers available that can give your pavers that same rich, enhanced look even when dry.

In addition to enhancing the color, sealing your pavers also locks in the joint sand, helping prevent it from washing or blowing out over time and keeping your patio looking great for years to come.
