Professional installation with proper base preparation and drainage that prevent settling, shifting, and costly repairs down the road.
Your driveway won’t develop those embarrassing dips and gaps that scream “cheap contractor.” Your patio stays level, your walkways remain smooth, and water flows where it should instead of pooling against your foundation.
The difference shows up in year five when your neighbor’s pavers are shifting and yours still look like they were installed yesterday. That’s what happens when someone takes the time to excavate properly, compact the base in lifts, and install edge restraints that actually restrain.
You’re not just getting pavers laid on sand. You’re getting a system engineered to handle North Carolina’s clay soil, freeze-thaw cycles, and heavy rain without moving.
Union Landscaping and Hardscape S Corp has been installing pavers in Country Club Heights and surrounding areas for years. We understand how this clay soil behaves, what drainage challenges you face, and why so many paver jobs fail here.
Most contractors treat every job the same regardless of soil conditions. We adjust our base preparation, drainage solutions, and installation methods based on your specific site conditions.
When you’ve seen enough failed installations, you learn what actually works long-term versus what just looks good for the first year.
We start with proper excavation depth based on your soil type and intended use. For driveways, that means going deeper than patios because cars weigh more than patio furniture.
Next comes base preparation in compacted lifts with the right materials. We’re not dumping a pile of gravel and calling it good. Each lift gets compacted to specification before adding the next layer.
Edge restraints go in before pavers, not after. These keep your pavers from creeping outward over time. Then we install pavers with proper joint spacing, sweep in joint sand, and compact everything together into a solid surface.
Final step is sealing if you want it, though we’ll explain when sealing helps and when it doesn’t. Not every paver installation needs sealer, despite what some contractors claim.
Ready to get started?
Every paver installation includes proper excavation, base preparation, edge restraints, and final compaction. We handle permits if needed, protect existing landscaping during construction, and clean up completely when finished.
You get a detailed estimate upfront with material specifications, timeline, and warranty information. No surprise charges for “unforeseen conditions” that any experienced contractor should anticipate in this area.
We install concrete pavers, brick pavers, and natural stone depending on your preference and budget. Each material has advantages, and we’ll explain the differences honestly instead of pushing whatever makes us the most profit.
Drainage solutions are included when needed, not treated as expensive add-ons. Poor drainage kills more paver installations than bad contractors, so we address it upfront.
