Frequently asked

Hardscapes & Paver Patios · the questions Aldo answers every week.

Why do so many paver patios sink after a few years?

Almost always base prep failure. Skimping on base depth or compaction saves a few hundred dollars at install and costs thousands to redo. We over-spec base every time.
