Walkways & Patios in Greater Boston
A walkway or patio is only as good as what is under it. In New England, a shallow or poorly compacted base lets water collect and freeze, and that is what makes pavers heave, rock and sink. We dig out, build up a compacted gravel base, set edging so nothing creeps, and then lay brick or pavers in the pattern you want.
Herringbone brick, running bond, borders in a contrasting color, curves, circle inlays and a granite step where the path meets the house. Whether it is a front walk or a patio out back, it gets the same base.
