A paver driveway is the ultimate curb appeal landscaping feature. At EA Quinn, we design and install paver driveways of all shapes, sizes and inclines. Below, we outline the basic steps we take in preparing to install a paver driveway:
Material removal
Unless it’s a new construction project, there is typically an existing driveway that needs to be destroyed and removed. Once the existing driveway is removed, the new outline for the paver driveway needs to be marked out.
Setting the level
The key to a paver driveway that stands the test of time is all in the foundation. To get a good, level foundation our crews dig out the driveway area and tamp the ground down to create an even, solid support for the driveway.
Base materials
Crushed stone is typically spread across the excavated area. Once the stone is spread it is tamped down.
