"Just completed on job of 3 so far. Power washed my back Patio. Looks the best it has ever looked. They are coming back, Build me a new Mailbox and re=do my driveway + add a stone Cap to my Retainer wall. The Stone cap was beautiful, great job. My negative on the Project, was they took forever to do my Driveway. I was told they sent the wrong materials. So the owner, Alejandro told me they would order other materials to replace those. For a job that I expected to take only a week and a half, they took almost a month. And left a Dumpster full of concrete waste in front of my House for a few weeks making my House an eyesore to the neighborhood. They did finally finish the Driveway, Pave stone. It came out beautiful. But then Alejandro told me he could not Power wash the dust and waste material off, and put sealant on it, for a few weeks. He said he was running over budget, and needed $2000 more to finish the job. Project is still not complete. I feel, if he miscalculated, that should not be my burden to bear. I should not have to pay extra to complete the job."

Paving Services questions, answered by experts

Yes, you should lightly wet the sand with a hose before laying the pavers on top. This activates the bonding agents in the sand, ensuring that your pavers don’t shift around during the installation process. However, you should make sure that the sand is not soaked; overwatering can cause the sand and pavers to not set properly.

The stones do not work well on uneven ground. If the stones are not buried into the ground and made level upon installation, they almost certainly will shift or crack on uneven ground. Additionally, rainwater or water from sprinklers can run under the edge of an uneven paver, causing erosion. In a freeze and thaw cycle, trapped water under the paver can cause the problem to worsen by shifting the stepping stones around. Use a bubble level to make sure the ground under each paver is as even as possible, even if the nearby ground is uneven.

Paver driveways are durable and aesthetically pleasing, but they do have a few cons. For instance, paver driveways are often more expensive than asphalt and concrete driveways. They also make it easier for weeds to grow where the separate pavers meet up. They may also be more likely to settle over time.

An asphalt driveway should be at least 3 inches thick over a compacted gravel base. Areas with poor drainage should have a thicker stone base. To install a new asphalt driveway over an existing driveway, the new asphalt should be at least 2 inches thick and the existing driveway should be in relatively good condition.

Interlocking pavers offer a number of advantages over regular pavers. For instance, they’re more durable, more resistant to shifting, and easier to repair. There are also permeable options that allow for drainage. However, interlocking pavers are more often more expensive than regular pavers and are prone to growing weeds over time.
