Finished interlock and hardscape installation at a front entrance.

Service field guide

Interlock and paving stone installation planned before the pavers go down.

A new paver surface can look finished on day one and still fail early if the base settles, the edges spread, the pitch sends water the wrong way, or the surface meets doors, garages, steps, and old pavement poorly. Sherwood starts with the site conditions before recommending layout, materials, or finish details.

Start with the problem

Signs this may be the right scope.

The first step is identifying what you can see, then checking the hidden cause: base movement, poor pitch, weak edges, water, settlement, thresholds, or bad transitions.

You need a new driveway, patio, walkway, front entrance, or side path and want it built around the ground conditions, not just the paver pattern

Grass, gravel, old concrete, or broken pavement no longer fits how people enter, park, walk, or use the property

A door, garage edge, step, curb, or existing hard surface makes the finished height and transition difficult

You are choosing pavers and need to understand layout, grade, base, and drainage constraints before picking a product

What the work may include

The finished surface is only the visible part.

New interlock and paving stone installation for driveways, patios, walkways, and entrances, planned around base depth, compaction, pitch, edge restraint, runoff, and clean tie-ins before pavers are selected.

Driveway, patio, walkway, front entrance, and side-yard paver installation

Layout review before material selection, including furniture space, access routes, vehicle use, and snow clearing where relevant

Excavation, base preparation, compaction, bedding, edge restraint, and jointing planned for the surface use

Tie-ins at garage edges, door thresholds, porch steps, curbs, existing concrete, asphalt, lawns, and garden beds

Water movement

What can change the scope.

Sherwood checks where water will leave the surface before the layout is finalized
Pitch should move water away from door thresholds, garage doors, low edges, and areas where ice can form
Downspouts, neighboring grades, soil conditions, and nearby hard surfaces can change the excavation, base, and finished height
Some sites need drainage limits identified early so a new paver surface does not trap runoff or make an existing water problem worse

Before it is covered

What good prep should make clear.

The proposed scope explains base depth, compaction, bedding, edge restraint, and jointing before those details are covered
Finished heights are checked against doors, garages, steps, curbs, and existing pavement before installation
The surface has a planned pitch and visible runoff route where site conditions allow
