Evaluate Soil and Base Conditions at Your Property
Soil, moisture, fill, compaction, drainage, grade, roots, utilities, and prior construction can vary within a single lot and should be evaluated for the proposed paved area.
There is no single countywide base recipe. Ask the proposal to state how the selected paver system, soil and grade observations, expected loads, drainage, excavation, aggregate, geotextile, compaction, bedding, and edge details apply to your property.
Finished elevations and runoff routes should be planned around the house, adjoining yards, downspouts, gates, and existing drainage. Any proposed surface pitch, drain, or outlet should be selected for the site and applicable requirements.
