Q: What is the typical timeframe for completing a brick or stone driveway or floor installation?

• <div><p>Most installations take 3-10 days, depending on the area size and design complexity.</p></div>

Q: Can I install a brick or stone driveway myself?

• <div><p>DIY is possible, but professional installation ensures proper leveling, drainage, and durability.</p></div>

Q: Is two inches of paver base enough?

• <div><p>The recommended minimum amount for a paver base is 4 inches. From there, it depends on the kind of traffic the pavers will see and the current soil conditions. Two inches of paver base won&rsquo;t create the amount of stability and support that pavers need to remain securely in place over time.</p></div>

Q: How long does it take to install permeable pavers?

• <div><p>Most professional permeable paver installations take between <b>2 and 7 days</b>, depending on the size and complexity of the project. Small patios or walkways may only take a few days, while large driveways with deep base layers, edging, and drainage components can take a full week or more. Weather, access to the site, and whether demolition is needed also affect the timeline.</p></div>
