"I reached out to Jonathan to get an estimate/recommendation for landscaping services for my back yard. Walkways were overgrown and had no design/plants. Jonathan reviewed the layout of my yard, irrigation system. Made recommendations based on what he thought would look best. He listened to me, when I stated which plants/shrubs I would like to see incorporated. He and his team took two days clean out the old mess, and lay the foundation for the new trees/plants/shrubs. The team was very efficient, clean and courteous. Arrived on time as scheduled. I would absolutely recommend Southern Landscapes to anyone."

"Garden of Eva designed and installed a beautiful stone patio with a sitting wall and a pathway to a koi pond which they also installed and a surrounding butterfly garden. We love it and can't wait until everything blooms in the spring to really see the full effect. We would highly recommend their services."

Paving Services questions, answered by experts

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.

Decomposed granite and caliche can both harden into a solid surface using a plate compactor. However, due to decomposed granite’s fine particles, it’s not suitable for driveway surfaces. Some homeowners use pea gravel mixed with a gravel-binding resin to bind the loose stones and create a solid surface that won’t shift like loose gravel.

It is possible to DIY complete hardscaping projects, but in most cases, hiring a professional is best to get the job done correctly. Hardscaping—including installing patios, decks, retaining walls, walkways, and water features—is challenging and time-consuming, so the money you spend on a professional is typically worth it. Not only will the quality be better, but you could avoid problems that come along with a lack of hardscaping experience, like drainage issues that can lead to costly foundation damage and leaks in your home.

You’ll first need to install a base underneath your pavers for extra stability and drainage. Otherwise, the pavers can sink into the ground, and you’ll have to reinstall them. Use a base gravel layer of 4 to 6 inches for walkways and 10 to 12 inches for driveways. Compact your gravel layer every 2 to 4 inches so it’s nice and solid. After you install your gravel base, apply a 1-inch layer of sand on top.

Quality pavers and correct installation handle temperature variations. Proper maintenance is crucial in severe climates to prevent issues like heaving.
