What We Do

Brick Walkways & Patios - 5 year warranty

All brick walkways and patios will be excavated to a minimum depth of 10" below the final intended grade. An 8" sub-base of crusher run gravel will be installed and compacted every 2" with a vibrating compactor. Temporary screeds or forms are set up to reflect the layout and pitch of the walk or patio. A 1" layer of washed mason sand is then screeded or leveled over the screeds. This becomes the paver bedding course on which the pavers are to be laid. Any brick cuts necessary to complete the chosen pattern will then be made. Snapedge brick restraint will then be installed to retain all exposed edges. Polymeric sand is used to grout the spaces between the pavers. The plate compactor is used once again to compact the pavers into the bedding course. This procedure is the recommended method of installation by all the various paver manufacturers and should not be deviated from in methods and materials. Any such deviation is incorrect and is considered to be a shortcut, which will inevitably result in an inferior end product after successive years of freeze thaw cycles.

Wall Construction/ Stone Step Systems - 5 year warranty

All walls and steps will be constructed on a 6" crushed stone base gravel. Walls exceeding 24" in height will have washed stone backfill to relieve water pressure. All walls will have a filter fabric wrap on the inside face to prevent soil erosion. All walls will be battered back (setback) to account for soil pressure (except for those wall systems designed to go straight up and not to any height greater that 2'). Drain tile will be installed in any wall 4' or higher or in any wall with extreme hydraulic situations. Wall and step caps will be secured with an adhesive calk (paver bond).

Bed Preparation and Installation of Plant Material - 2 year warranty

All planting beds will have soil conditioners added before the plants are installed. Soil conditioning will be accomplished by rototilling organic material into the existing soil along with any topsoil that may be required to achieve the necessary elevations. Weed control after the installtion is achieved by an application of a pre-emergent herbicide.
