Paver Contractor in St. Petersburg Who Gets the Base Right the First Time
The paver contractor you choose determines whether your patio lasts 5 years or 50. We build every paver project on a 6-inch compacted limerock base engineered for Florida sandy soil. Patios from $12/sqft, driveways from $15/sqft, walkways from $12/sqft.
What Separates a $12/sqft Paver Job From a $12/sqft Disaster
Two paver contractors can both charge $15 per sqft and deliver completely different results. The pavers they use might even be identical. The difference is invisible on day one but obvious within two years: what they put underneath.
A quality paver contractor in Pinellas County excavates to stable subsoil, installs and compacts limerock in lifts, screeds a precise bedding layer, lays pavers with head-to-head spacing, installs proper edge restraint, and finishes with polymeric sand. This process takes 3 to 5 days for a standard patio.
A budget contractor dumps 2 inches of sand, lays pavers directly on it, and is done in a day. Looks great. Costs the same. Falls apart in two Florida wet seasons because the sand washes out through every joint.
We are the first type. We welcome you to watch our base preparation process. We will show you what 6 inches of compacted limerock looks like before a single paver goes down. See our detailed paver installation process or browse our full hardscaping services.
