How Our Process Works

Professional walkway and driveway installation requires precise excavation, base preparation, and material placement techniques.

Experienced crews use compaction equipment and grading tools to create stable foundations that prevent settling and maintain smooth surfaces throughout Lakeville's changing seasons.

From design consultation through final inspection, you'll understand each construction phase:

Details That Matter Most

Quality walkway and driveway construction depends on proper material selection, base depth, and installation techniques that account for local soil conditions and traffic requirements.

What base preparation is required for paver driveways?
Driveways need 6-8 inches of compacted aggregate base plus sand leveling layer. Heavy-duty installations require geotextile fabric to prevent base migration.
How do paver driveways compare to concrete for durability?
Pavers flex with ground movement rather than cracking like concrete slabs. Individual units can be replaced if damaged without affecting surrounding areas.
Can you install heated driveway systems under pavers?
Yes, radiant heating cables integrate beneath paver surfaces for snow melting. This system works particularly well in Lakeville where winter maintenance is challenging.
What edge restraint systems keep pavers in place?
Plastic or aluminum edge restraints anchor into the base material around perimeter areas. These systems prevent paver spreading and maintain clean borders.
How do you ensure proper drainage on walkways?
Slight slope grading directs water away from structures while permeable joint sand allows moisture to drain through the paver surface naturally.

Professional installation techniques and quality materials ensure your walkways and driveways provide decades of reliable service with minimal maintenance requirements. Book your design consultation to explore paver options that suit your property's specific needs.
