Paver Patios in Washington County, PA

We begin by marking the area and digging to the correct depth based on the type of pavers and soil conditions. This includes removing grass, topsoil, and debris to expose firm subsoil. A level base at this stage is key, so we take extra time to make sure everything is graded properly before moving forward.

A thick layer of crushed stone is added and compacted in multiple passes. This step is what gives your patio long-term strength. It allows water to drain properly, keeps the pavers from shifting, and creates a base that holds firm through heavy use and seasonal weather changes.

On top of the stone, we spread a layer of fine limestone chips (also called “bedding sand”). This layer helps create a smooth, level surface for laying pavers. It’s adjusted and checked carefully to prevent dips, gaps, or uneven edges in the final patio.

Pavers are placed by hand, following your design layout. Our crew makes precise cuts to fit edges and corners, then arranges the stones in clean, even lines. We pay attention to joint spacing and alignment so the pattern looks tight and professional when finished.

To keep the patio locked in place, we install edge restraints made of concrete or hard plastic. Once the layout is set, we sweep polymeric sand into the joints and vibrate it in with a plate compactor. This step seals the surface, reduces weed growth, and adds a finished look that holds up over time.
