A walkway is often the first part of a home that visitors notice, and a poorly built one can crack, sink, or sprout weeds within just a few seasons. Exterior Pavers Designs Inc. is a family-owned and operated hardscape company based in San Carlos, installing interlocking pavers throughout the Bay Area since 1996.
This article looks at four ways Exterior Pavers Designs Inc. approaches walkway construction so homeowners can better understand what goes into a paver surface built to last.
At a Glance: How Exterior Pavers Designs Builds a Durable Walkway
- Following Interlocking Concrete Pavement Institute (ICPI) installation standards on every job
- Matching paver materials to the demands of each space
- Adding design details such as curve cuts and inlay borders
- Giving clients direct access to the owners throughout the project
1. Following ICPI Installation Standards From Start to Finish
Interlocking pavers hold up well over time, but only when they are installed correctly. Exterior Pavers Designs Inc. is a member of the Interlocking Concrete Pavement Institute (ICPI), the organization that sets the installation standards for the hardscape industry.
Staying current with ICPI education and specifications means the base preparation, paver placement, and finishing work on a walkway follow a process built to prevent shifting, sinking, and premature wear.
A 15-year warranty backs this attention to process, and Exterior Pavers Designs Inc. also takes time to walk clients through each phase of the job so they understand exactly what is being done and why.
2. Matching Paver Materials to Each Space
Not every hardscape surface serves the same purpose, and material choices should reflect that. A driveway is typically the largest paved surface on a property and the first thing visitors see, so it needs a paver that can handle vehicle weight along with everyday wear.
