The Paver Patio Installation Process

1. Site Preparation & Excavation We excavate 6–8 inches down, removing all existing grass and roots. Proper depth is critical for a level, stable patio.

2. Base Layer A compacted gravel base (road base or crushed concrete) goes in first. This is the most important step — a well-compacted base prevents settling and shifting for decades.

3. Sand Bedding A 1-inch layer of coarse sand is screeded perfectly level over the base. The pavers sit on this layer.

4. Paver Placement Pavers are laid by hand in the chosen pattern. Cuts are made with a masonry saw for edges and curves.

5. Polymeric Sand & Sealing Joints are filled with polymeric sand (hardens to prevent weed growth and ant invasion). A penetrating sealer is applied to protect the surface and enhance color.
