How we handle a project like this

  1. 1
    Plan the layout

    We measure, mark the shape and talk through brick color, pattern and border.

  2. 2
    Dig out and build the base

    Old material comes out and we excavate and compact a gravel base sized for Michigan frost.

  3. 3
    Lay the pavers

    Pavers go down in the chosen pattern, edges are cut clean and the border is locked in with edge restraint.

  4. 4
    Sand, compact and clean up

    Joints are filled with sand, the surface is compacted and the site is cleaned before the walk-through.
