Hardscape & Pavers,
built to outlast
trends.
Custom paver driveways, patios, walkways, and pool decks in Los Angeles, natural stone, concrete, and large-format porcelain installed on a proper compacted base with drainage-first engineering.
Pavers are the surface you see, but the work that matters happens below grade. We excavate to proper depth, install compacted aggregate base, and lay pavers to a drainage pitch before a single paver is set. That’s why our driveways don’t crack, our patios don’t puddle, and our pool decks don’t pop up at expansion joints.
We work with travertine, limestone, flagstone, concrete pavers, large-format porcelain, and tumbled brick. Every material is available for driveways, patios, walkways, and pool decks, with appropriate thickness and finish specified for each application.
What sets our hardscape apart.
01Proper base depth
6–10″ compacted aggregate base depending on use, pedestrian, vehicular, or pool deck, so the surface never waves or sinks.
02Wide material range
Travertine, limestone, flagstone, concrete pavers, large-format porcelain, and tumbled brick, we source and install all paver types.
03Drainage slope on every field
Every paver surface is set at 1–2% slope away from structures and toward drains or curb cuts, no standing water on day one or day 1,000.
04Edge restraint & polymeric sand
Bender board or steel edge restraint locks the field; polymeric sand is compacted into joints and activated with water to bind permanently.
The paver industry’s biggest failure mode is insufficient base. We excavate 6–8″ for pedestrian areas and 8–10″ for driveways, compact class II base in lifts, and install edge restraint before any pavers are set. This is the foundation that makes the surface perform, and it’s invisible once the job is done.
On the surface, we cut to pattern, maintain consistent joint width, and compact polymeric sand into joints. Every paver field drains at 1–2% slope away from structures. We don’t seal on install, we let the polymeric sand cure and offer sealing at the 30-day mark.
How a paver job gets done.
01Layout & Demo
We mark the project boundary, establish finish grades, and demo existing surfaces. Old concrete is broken out and hauled off.
02Excavation & Base
Excavated to proper depth, class II base installed in compacted lifts, edge restraint set at the perimeter.
03Paver Setting
Pavers are laid to pattern with correct alignment and joint spacing. Cuts are made at edges with a wet saw or angle grinder.
04Sand & Seal
Polymeric joint sand is swept in, compacted, and activated. Optional sealer applied at 30 days once sand has fully cured.
Set in base. Built to last.

Materials & applications.
Natural stone pavers
- Travertine, Cut-and-tumbled or brushed travertine for patios, pool decks, and walkways; sealed for outdoor use and stain resistance.
- Limestone, Dense, uniformly colored limestone pavers for driveways and walkways where strength and clean lines matter.
- Flagstone, Irregular-cut natural flagstone set in mortar or dry-laid for organic, naturalistic patio and path surfaces.
- Bluestone, Sawn or thermal-finish bluestone for formal patios, steps, and pool surrounds; excellent slip resistance.
Manufactured & porcelain pavers
- Concrete pavers, Interlocking concrete pavers in standard or permeable formats; strong, affordable, and available in many profiles and colors.
- Large-format porcelain, 24×24 to 48×48 porcelain for a contemporary, near-seamless patio surface, non-porous and UV-stable.
- Tumbled brick, Traditional clay brick pavers for driveways, paths, and courtyards; charming and repairable.
Applications
- Driveways, Installed over deep compacted base sized for vehicle loads; sloped to drain away from the garage and foundation.
- Patios, Layout planned around furniture zones, fire features, and kitchen placement.
- Pool decks, Non-slip surface treatment; expansion joints at pool coping to handle thermal movement.
- Walkways & steps, Consistent rise-and-run on steps; anti-slip finish; lighting accommodated in the layout.
Stone, set
to last forever.
From a front walkway to a full property paver driveway and backyard patio, we design and install paver surfaces that drain properly, last for decades, and look right from day one.
