Every project starts with a free on-site estimate. We visit your home, measure the driveway, look at the slope and drainage, and check the condition of what is there now. We talk through the size and shape, paver styles, colors, patterns, and any extras like borders, a widened parking area, or a connecting walkway. You then receive a clear written quote, and once you approve it we schedule the work and mark out underground utility lines before any digging begins.

On installation day, we lay out the driveway footprint and set the finished height so the surface meets your garage doors correctly and slopes gently away from the house and garage. We then remove the old concrete or asphalt, haul it away, and excavate to the proper depth for vehicle loads. Driveways need a much thicker foundation than patios, so we install crushed aggregate in multiple thin layers and compact each one with a plate compactor until the base is firm, dense, and perfectly graded.

Once the base is ready, we install strong edge restraint along the borders and spread a smooth, consistent layer of bedding sand, screeded to the correct level. The pavers are laid by hand in a pattern chosen for strength, such as herringbone, which resists the pushing and twisting forces of cars turning and braking. We cut pavers along the garage, curves, and borders with a saw for clean edges, then compact them into the sand bed, sweep polymeric joint sand into every joint, and compact once more so the surface locks together.

To finish, we activate the joint sand, clean the entire surface, and restore the surrounding area, including grading soil along the edges and removing all debris. We then walk the finished driveway with you and go over simple care tips, such as how to clean oil spills and when to refresh the joint sand. You get a driveway that is stable, drains well, and is ready for vehicles after a short curing period that we explain before we leave.
