Preparing The Area For Your New Brick Or Paver Installation
Preparation is a huge (the most important) part in building a great looking, long lasting brick or paver feature into your landscape. This includes excavating the area you’d like the brickwork installed so we can then bring in the proper base material and properly grade the area. Once we’ve laid the base down it can be compacted to minimize any material settling that will occur. When material settles your paving stones can sink and move around, which can make your investment look horrible. Spending the extra time on the site preparation will prevent the new pavers from shifting and ensure you have a great looking hardscaped area for years to come.
Preparing The Area For Your New Brick Or Paver Installation
Preparation is a huge (arguably the most important) part in building a great looking, long lasting paver landscaping feature. If the groundwork isn't completed properly before installing the pavers you're going to be unhappy with the results.
At COMPANY NAME we take the time to ensure our paver installations are completed to the manufacturers specifications. This ensures your new paver landscaping looks great, lasts a long time, and the pavers can qualify for the manufacturers warranty.
How Do We Prepare Your Ground For Pavers?
Installing paver patios, driveways, and walkways isn't rocket science but there are some very specific steps and processes that separate the good installations from the poor installations.
Step #1. The first thing we need to do is measure and mark the area where your pavers will be installed. Using a string line and stakes to mark the perimeter of the area, and spray paint or flags to mark the locations of any corners, curves, or other features.
Step #2. We will need to remove any existing vegetation or debris from the area so we have a clean slate. We then need to excavate the area to the desired depth for your specific pavers and the base materials we'll be using. This can vary depending on the pavers being used and other factors.
Step #3. Excavate the area to the desired depth. The depth of the excavation will depend on the thickness of the pavers and the height of any surrounding surfaces, such as a patio or walkway. Be sure to allow for the thickness of the base material and any sand or other materials that will be used to level the surface.
Step #4. We need to add base materials to the excavated area. This usually consists of a layer of crushed gravel followed with a later of sand. The gravel helps to establish solid footing for the pavers and provide drainage, while the sand provides a level surface that easily be adjusted as we install the pavers. Each layer must be compacted using hand tampers or a machine tamper to prevent future settling.
Step #5. We then install any necessary edging. Edging, such as metal or plastic strips, is used to hold the pavers in place and to define the edge of the paver area. Edging is installed around the perimeter of the paver area and is secured with stakes or other fasteners depending on the paver manufacturer.
Step #6. Install the pavers. We begin at one corner of the paver area and work our way outward, laying the pavers in a pattern that is consistent with your design. We use a rubber mallet to tap the pavers into place, and we use a level to ensure that the pavers are level and even. We can adjust the base layer as necessary to ensure everything is level.
As you can see, by spending the extra time on site preparation, you're getting a superior installation that will last and look good for many years to come.

This company was very professional and did an excellent job with landscaping my front yard. I am excited about using them to do my backyard in the spring.
Topscape was a bit more expensive than others but I worked on large construction jobs for 40 years and have learned that generally you get what you pay for. I paid the extra and received a very professional job that was well worth the money. They met or exceeded all my expectations. They somehow even managed to clean up the street and driveway of all the top soil. Can’t even tell they were there. I would highly recommend them.
Topscape did a great job on our retaining wall and landscaping project. Strong recommend if you're looking for quality work.
Did a great job making our vision for our front yard become a reality. They worked quickly and efficiently. Made sure I was still able to access my garage and driveway during the process. If they ever needed to go to our backyard they always made sure to close the gate again so my dogs wouldn’t escape.
Giovanni and his crew did a great job on my lawn. He designed a great look all around my house. Highly recommend to use them. You will not be disappointed.
Topscape landscaping did an awesome job installing a retaining wall. I will definitely be using them again for my landscaping projects. The guys are polite and know what they are doing!
Top notch! From start to finish these guys were great. I was always informed of the progress and details. These guys are seriously the best! Thank you guys for a job well done. Definitely exceeded my expectations!
Have used Topscape for two different projects. The crew works hard and does the job right. They’re respectful of your property, clean up after themselves, and do a great job. Communication is great and timelines and budgets are kept. Will use again and always refer.
