Paver Installation in Allentown

A patio or poolside hardscape area is only as good as what is underneath it. We spend the time on proper base prep, compaction, and drainage so your pavers do not shift, sink, or pool water. The result is outdoor space you can actually enjoy year-round. Allentown has a mix of historic downtown properties and newer suburban builds. We tailor material choices and layouts to match your home's age and your goals for it.

Finished patio, pavilion roof, and hardscape outdoor living space.

Example project scope

Backyard patio and walkway buildout, Reading, PA

Reading, PA (Berks County)

New paver patio and connecting walkway installed over a graded yard with soft soil conditions, requiring full excavation, base build-up, and drainage pitch to keep the surface stable and dry long term.

Existing sod and topsoil stripped and excavated to 10 inches below finished grade across the full patio footprint and walkway corridor
Geotextile fabric laid over exposed subgrade to separate native clay soil from aggregate base and prevent migration
6 inches of recycled concrete aggregate installed in two lifts, each compacted with a plate tamper to 95% density before the next lift
1-inch bedding layer of coarse concrete sand screeded to final grade with pipe rails for consistent depth across the patio field

Base depth and compaction meet ICPI residential standards. Drainage pitch directed away from foundation per local grading requirements.

Shown to illustrate base-prep depth. Your scope will vary based on soil conditions, site access, and paver selection.
