Pavers are not only beautiful but also incredibly durable, making them ideal for both residential and commercial applications. Whether you’re looking to create a charming garden path or a grand patio for entertaining, our paver installations provide the perfect balance of form and function.
Benefits of Pavers:
Installing paver patios, driveways, and walkways requires precision, expertise, and a detailed step-by-step process to ensure long-lasting durability and a flawless finish. At Fasano Landscaping, we follow industry-leading techniques to deliver superior results that stand the test of time.
Step 1: Measuring & Marking the Area
We begin by carefully measuring and marking the designated area for your pavers. Using string lines, stakes, and spray paint (or flags), we define the perimeter, noting any curves, corners, or unique design features to ensure an accurate layout.
Step 2: Excavation & Site Preparation
A solid foundation is the key to a durable paver installation. We excavate and remove existing soil or materials to a depth of 10″-12″, depending on soil conditions. This creates the necessary space for a properly compacted stone base, preventing future shifting or settling.
Step 3: Base Installation & Compaction
A strong, well-compacted base is essential for stability. We install ¾” crushed stone in layers, compacting each layer to maximize strength. The base is carefully sloped away from buildings and foundations to promote proper drainage. Once compacted, we add a 1” bedding layer of screening sand or chip stone to create a smooth, level surface for the pavers.
Step 4: Paver Installation & Custom Cutting
With the foundation in place, we carefully lay each paver on the prepared bedding layer, cutting them as needed to fit the design layout and accommodate existing structures or obstacles.
Step 5: Edge Restraints & Surface Compaction
To prevent shifting over time, we secure the paver edges with fiber-reinforced concrete or plastic edge restraints, depending on the specific area. The entire surface is then compacted using a plate tamper, ensuring that the pavers settle evenly into the bedding layer for a uniform and stable finish.
Step 6: Joint Stabilization with Polymeric Sand
We sweep polymeric sand into the joints between pavers to lock them in place, preventing movement and weed growth. Once the sand is applied, we lightly mist the surface with water to activate the polymer, creating a durable, long-lasting bond.
Step 7: Final Touches & Lawn Restoration
To complete the installation, we backfill the edges with topsoil and apply grass seed to restore any areas disturbed during construction, ensuring a seamless blend with your existing landscape.
By focusing on expert site preparation and precision installation, we deliver high-quality, long-lasting paver surfaces that enhance the beauty and functionality of your outdoor space. With Fasano Landscaping, you can trust that your patio, driveway, or walkway will remain strong, stable, and visually stunning for years to come.
