Common Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
How deep do you excavate for paver installations?
Excavation depth depends on soil conditions and intended use, typically 8-12 inches for pedestrian areas and 14-18 inches for driveways. We test soil bearing capacity and adjust base thickness accordingly.
Do I need permits for paver driveways and patios?
Most residential paver projects don't require permits, but larger installations or those affecting drainage may need city approval. We handle permit applications when required and ensure all work meets local codes.
How long before I can use my new paver installation?
Light foot traffic is possible within 24-48 hours, but we recommend waiting one week before vehicle traffic. This allows proper settling of joint sand and ensures long-term stability.
What's included in your drainage solutions?
Our drainage systems include French drains, catch basins, and proper slope grading to direct water away from structures. We also install permeable pavers when stormwater management is required.
How do your installations handle California's soil movement?
We use flexible base systems with proper compaction and joint sand that allow slight movement without cracking. Our installation techniques are specifically designed for California's expansive clay soils and seismic activity.
