Set on a base that lasts

Bricks and Pavers in Metro Detroit

Paver driveways, patios, walkways and walls across Detroit and Metro Detroit, laid over compacted aggregate with edge restraint and polymeric joints. The part nobody sees is the part that fails first — so that's where the work goes.

Capabilities

What this scope covers.

Paver driveways, patios, walkways and walls laid over compacted aggregate with edge restraint and polymeric joints.

01Paver driveways & patios

Rated pavers and base depths matched to the load.

02Brick & block borders

Clean soldier courses and cut lines that stay straight.

03Retaining & seat walls

Drainage and backfill handled behind the wall, not just in front.

04Repair & re-leveling

Settled or heaved sections lifted, re-based and reset.

How we do it

Start to finish

01

Pattern & material

Pick the paver, pattern and border. We'll flag anything that generates excessive cuts and waste.

02

Excavate to depth

Driveways need considerably more base than patios. We dig for the load, not the calendar.

03

Compact in lifts

Aggregate placed and compacted in stages, then a screeded bedding layer.

04

Lay, restrain & sweep

Laid to pattern, edges restrained, joints swept with polymeric sand and set.

Common questions

Straight answers

Why do paver driveways sink?

Almost always insufficient base depth or compaction, or missing edge restraint. The pavers themselves rarely fail — the assembly under them does.

Do pavers handle Michigan winters?

Better than most surfaces, because individual units can move slightly without cracking. They plow fine, and a damaged paver is a single-unit swap instead of a patch.

Can you fix an existing paver area?

Yes. Lifting, re-basing and resetting a settled section is routine, and far cheaper than a rebuild.
