Homeowners often get caught up in choosing beautiful pavers, but here’s the truth: even the most expensive pavers will fail if the ground beneath them isn’t prepared correctly.
Here’s why proper basework is more important than paver aesthetics:
1. Prevents shifting and sinking – Compact base layers keep your pavers stable.
2. Stops water damage – A proper slope and drainage plan protects your investment.
3. Increases longevity – A good base can add decades to your project’s life.
4. Reduces weed growth – Solid basework minimizes space for weed seeds to take root.
5. Saves money in the long run – Fewer repairs and replacements.
Don’t let a $1,500 paver order go to waste on a $50 base job. Prep right, and your project will look brand-new for years to come.
