The Installation Process

Planned carefully, the installation of brick pavers will enhance your outdoor space’s aesthetics and structural integrity.

• Site Prep: The initial stage involves site preparation to start any installation process successfully. This includes clearing away existing materials and ensuring adequate drainage for a proper foundation for brick pavers.
• Base Layer: To prevent shifting and settling over time, we meticulously craft a compacted base from gravel and sand that offers uniform thickness with proper compaction that supports the weight of our pavers.
• Edge Restraints: To prevent paver shifting and maintain the structural integrity of the installation, edge restraints are placed around the perimeter. These restraints hold pavers securely in their places and stop them from spreading under pressure.
• Paver Installation: Once your base is ready, we install brick pavers according to your desired pattern or design. This step requires close attention to ensure straight lines, even spacing, and consistent appearance.
• Compaction: Once pavers have been set in their positions, they are compacted to embed them in the base material further, ensure stability, and reduce any risk of shifting in time. This process helps ensure safety against moving.
• Joint Sand: Joint sand stabilizes pavers, prevents weed growth, and extends overall durability. It’s best applied when applied evenly across their surface area and worked into all gaps between pavers for best results.
• Final Compaction: When compacting, an additional round ensures that pavers are securely placed, and the joint sand has settled correctly.
