754th Street North Ozona Paver Walkways

Ozona walkways on 754th Street North run under live oak and along cottage lots that were never planned for a wide path. PaverForge Hardscapes builds those walks so a root can be dealt with later without tearing the whole run.

What the walk has to survive

Oak roots do not negotiate. A plastic edge and a dumped sand bed will heave in one wet season. The walk also has to stay clear of the neighbor's fence and any irrigation valve box already in the side yard.

• A drained path, not a flat ribbon that holds water under the oak shade

• A cleared root line, with a liftable edge where the tree is still growing

• 60 mm stone on a compacted base sized for foot traffic

• Staging that stays off the narrow Ozona street

Shade and grade

Shade keeps the surface cool and also keeps joints damp. We pitch the walk to daylight, not toward the cottage slab, and we leave a way to lift one bay if the arborist has to come back.
