If you’ve ever seen a patio or walkway start to sink, shift, or sprout weeds just months after it was installed, chances are the basework was skipped or done poorly. Basework is the foundation of your entire hardscaping project. Think of it like the footings under your house—without a solid base, everything else will fail.
Proper basework involves excavation, disposal of old soil and sod, compacting layers of aggregate (typically ¾” crushed stone), and ensuring proper slope and drainage. Cutting corners here may save you time today, but will cost you big in repairs later.
At Ground Force Baseworks, we specialize in giving DIY homeowners a professional-grade foundation—so your patio, walkway, or driveway lasts for decades.
