Be “Paver Wise”

Choosing the right contractor for your project is extremely important. Check out these tips below to help you choose the right one

Does the contractor have his own in-house crews, or do they use subcontractors?
Is the contractor ICPI (Interlocking Concrete Pavement Institute) Certified? The ICPI sets the industry standards for interlocking paving installations
How will the contractor pitch the patio/walkway area for proper drainage and water runoff? Will they use a minimum of ⅛” per foot?
Will the excavated area be a minimum of 6 to 12 inches wider than the actual paved area to insure proper edge stability?
What type of edge restraint will they use, and does it conform to ICPI standards?
Will the contractor excavate a minimum of 12 inches for vehicular areas and 7 ½ inches for pedestrian areas?

Does the contractor use ICPI recommended ASTM C-33 Concrete Sand for a dense grade system or chip stone for an open grade system not more than one inch to 1 inch thick?
