Our Installation Process

From your first call to your final walkthrough, here's exactly how we transform your outdoor space. No surprises — just professional craftsmanship at every step.

01

Free Consultation & Estimate

We start with an on-site visit to understand your vision, assess your property, and discuss your goals and budget. Our team evaluates soil conditions, drainage, grading, and any potential challenges. You'll receive a detailed written estimate — no surprises, no hidden fees.

  • On-site property assessment
  • Discussion of design ideas and goals
  • Drainage and grading evaluation
  • Detailed written estimate within 48 hours
02

Design & Planning

Once you approve the estimate, we develop a detailed project plan. For complex projects like retaining walls over 4 feet, we coordinate engineering drawings and obtain necessary permits. Every detail is planned before we break ground — material quantities, timelines, crew assignments, and equipment needs.

  • Custom project layout and design
  • Engineering drawings when required
  • Permit coordination with local authorities
  • Detailed project timeline and milestones
03

Material Selection

Choose from our curated selection of premium materials — Belgard pavers, natural stone, concrete blocks, and more. We'll help you pick the right colors, textures, and patterns to complement your home. As a Belgard Master Craftsman and Techo-Pro certified installer, we have access to the industry's best products and exclusive warranties.

  • Premium Belgard and Pavestone pavers
  • Natural stone and manufactured stone options
  • Color and pattern samples at your home
  • Manufacturer warranty on materials
04

Site Preparation

Proper preparation is what separates professional work from shortcuts. We excavate to the correct depth, install geotextile fabric where needed, and build a compacted aggregate base — typically 6 to 8 inches for driveways, 4 to 6 inches for patios. Drainage solutions are integrated from the start, not afterthought.

  • Excavation to engineered depth
  • Geotextile fabric installation
  • Compacted aggregate base (6–8" driveways, 4–6" patios)
  • Drainage system integration
05

Professional Installation

Our ICPI-certified crew installs your project with precision — consistent joint spacing, proper edge restraints, and meticulous pattern alignment. For retaining walls, we follow geogrid reinforcement schedules and backfill with drainage stone. Every project is built to engineering standards, not just cosmetic appearance.

  • ICPI-certified installation crew
  • Precise paver cutting and alignment
  • Edge restraints and polymeric sand
  • Geogrid reinforcement for retaining walls
06

Final Walkthrough & Warranty

Before we consider the job done, we walk the entire project with you to ensure every detail meets your expectations. We clean the site, review maintenance tips, and activate your 3-year workmanship warranty. Our relationship doesn't end at completion — we're here if you ever need us.

  • Detailed walkthrough with homeowner
  • Complete site cleanup
  • Maintenance guide and care tips
  • 3-year workmanship warranty activation

What Makes Our Process Different

20+ years of refining how we work — so your project runs smoothly from day one.

No Subcontractors

Every project is completed by our own trained crew — never handed off to subcontractors. You get consistent quality and direct accountability.

Transparent Pricing

Your estimate includes everything — materials, labor, equipment, disposal, and permits. The price we quote is the price you pay.

On-Time Delivery

We set realistic timelines and stick to them. Weather delays are communicated immediately, and we don't juggle your project with five others.

Clean Job Sites

We protect your landscaping, contain debris, and leave your property cleaner than we found it. Daily cleanup is standard, not optional.
