Hardscaping Installation

Will this process mess up my yard? This will all depend on your specific situation and what you’re looking for with hardscaping, and how big the project is. Whether you want a water feature installation or a patio, what the install process is like and how long it will take will vary. However, in general, the process to install stone pavers is fairly straightforward.

The ground will be dug out to make room for the pavers and make sure that they will be stable in the ground and that no weeds will come through. The soil is compacted so that there are no issues with settling over time. Gravel that has been crushed will be added and smoothed/leveled, and a layer of builder’s sand is added. Pavers are then installed and more builder’s sand will be spread on top. The design will be created before installation and shown to you for approval. The process can differ, but generally, this will be the process for hardscaping.
