Paver Installation Process
Our expert paver installation process includes the following:- Site evaluation - We assess the site layout, slope, drainage, and soil type to determine the required base materials and depth.
- Excavation and grading - We dig out and level the area to prepare for base installation. Proper grading is critical.
- Base installation - Layers of crushed stone or gravel are compacted and leveled to form a solid base.
- Bedding layer - Sand or fine gravel is screeded as the final smooth, even bed for the pavers.
- Paver setting - Pavers are placed in the desired pattern and cut as needed for a seamless fit.
- Edge restraints - Borders hold the perimeter edges in place neatly and securely.
- Joint filling - Polymeric sand is swept into the joints, activating interlock and stabilization.
- Compaction - A plate compactor is used to settle pavers correctly into the bedding layer.
- Cleanup - We remove all excess materials and debris, leaving a pristine finished paver surface.
Porcelain Pavers For Pools, Patios and Driveways
Porcelain pavers offer an incredibly durable paver option and can mimic the look of natural stone, concrete, or clay pavers. Diamond Pavers often recommends porcelain pavers for pool decks, patio installations, and driveways. Porcelain pavers resist fading and staining, tolerate freeze/thaw cycles, and stay cooler in hot weather than concrete. Their dense composition makes them very strong under heavy use.These paver stones won’t degrade from salt or chlorine exposure, so they're ideal around pools, and they come in various colors and textures, giving a customized look. We properly install porcelain pavers with slope, drainage, base stability, and joint integrity in mind.
