Hardscaping & Patios in Cedar Grove
A paver patio is only as good as what’s under it, and Cedar Grove’s clay soil punishes shortcuts. Clay swells when it’s wet and shrinks when it dries, so a patio set on dirt or a skimpy base heaves, sinks, and goes wavy within a few seasons. The deep shade on lots along Cedar Creek Road keeps the ground damp longer, which makes a properly built and drained base matter even more here than on a sunny lot.
The Base Is the Whole Job
We excavate down past the topsoil, lay and compact the right depth of crushed stone in lifts, set a leveling layer of sand, and pitch the whole surface to shed water away from the house. The pavers go down tight, get edge restraint so they can’t spread, and polymeric sand locks the joints. It’s slower than dropping stone on bare ground, and it’s the difference between a patio that stays flat for decades and one you re-level every spring.
Hardscaping ties into a full landscape design, and we’ll handle any yard drainage the clay demands. See our hardscaping page, with the rest on the Cedar Grove page.
