Pavers Installed to Hold Through Chicago Winters
Poorly installed pavers sink, shift, and grow weeds within two seasons. The base is everything. We excavate to depth, compact properly, and install pavers that stay level and tight through Chicago winters, whether the project is a driveway on a city lot, a front walkway, or a rear patio.
Chicago's small city lots put a lot of duty on a little hardscape: driveways double as service areas, front walkways take constant foot traffic along with the salt used on public sidewalks, and rear patios carry outdoor living through every season. Freeze-thaw cycling is hard on any paving system, but it punishes shortcut installations fastest, pavers laid on thin or under-compacted base begin to sink and shift within a couple of winters and open joints where weeds establish. On tight city lots, drainage and grade also have to be handled deliberately because there is often nowhere for water to go.
We excavate to full depth, compact the base properly, and install edge restraint systems that keep the field tight. The base is what separates a paver installation that stays level through Chicago winters from one that sinks, shifts, and grows weeds within two seasons. We handle both new installation and repair or re-leveling of existing pavers.
