Paver Walkway Installation and Construction
With any hardscaped surface proper site preparation is a key (arguably the most important) part in building a great looking, long lasting walkway feature. If the groundwork isn't completed properly before installing the stone, brick, or pavers then you're going to be unhappy with the results, especially a year or two down the road when the ground settles.
At Property Docktors we take the time to ensure our walkway installations are completed to the block or stone manufacturers specifications. This ensures your new paver walkway looks great, lasts a long time, and the pavers or stone we've used can qualify for the manufacturers warranty.
How Do We Prepare Your Ground For Pavers?
Installing paver walkways isn't rocket science but there are some very specific steps and processes that separate the good installations from the poor installations.
Step #1. The first thing we need to do is measure and mark the area where your pavers will be installed. Using a string line and stakes to mark the perimeter of the area, and spray paint or flags to mark the locations of any corners, curves, or other features.
Step #2. We will need to remove any existing vegetation or debris from the area so we have a clean slate. We then need to excavate the area to the desired depth for your specific pavers and the base materials we'll be using. This can vary depending on the pavers being used and other factors.
Step #3. Excavate the area to the desired depth. The depth of the excavation will depend on the thickness of the pavers and the height of any surrounding surfaces, such as a patio or walkway. Be sure to allow for the thickness of the base material and any sand or other materials that will be used to level the surface.
Step #4. We need to add base materials to the excavated area. This usually consists of a layer of crushed gravel followed with a later of sand. The gravel helps to establish solid footing for the pavers and provide drainage, while the sand provides a level surface that easily be adjusted as we install the pavers. Each layer must be compacted using hand tampers or a machine tamper to prevent future settling.
Step #5. We then install any necessary edging. Edging, such as metal or plastic strips, is used to hold the pavers in place and to define the edge of the paver walkway area. Edging is installed around the perimeter of the walkway area and is secured with stakes or other fasteners depending on the paver manufacturer.
Step #6. Install the pavers. We begin at one corner of the paver area and work our way outward, laying the pavers in a pattern that is consistent with your design. We use a rubber mallet to tap the pavers into place, and we use a level to ensure that the pavers are level and even. We can adjust the base layer as necessary to ensure everything is level.
As you can see, by spending the extra time on site preparation, you're getting a superior installation that will last and look good for many years to come.
