Paver Base Preparation

Paver base preparation is the process of creating a stable foundation for laying pavers in driveways, patios, walkways, and other hardscape projects. This technique involves excavating the site to the appropriate depth, installing a layer of compacted gravel or crushed stone, and adding a leveling layer of sand. Proper base preparation is essential for ensuring that the pavers remain level, resist shifting, and endure the weight of foot traffic or vehicles over time. The process also includes grading the base to ensure proper drainage, preventing water from pooling on the surface and causing damage. A well-prepared paver base is critical to the longevity and appearance of the paved area.
