What affects the price

About this service
A paver base is the compacted layer of crushed stone or gravel installed beneath your pavers to prevent shifting and sinking. Proper drainage is the main reason you need a high-quality base; it stops water from pooling under the stones. Without a solid foundation, even the best pavers will become uneven over time. We focus on installing a deep, well-compacted base to ensure your driveway or patio stays level and looks professional for many years to come.
