Douglas Avenue Dunedin Paver Courtyards

Douglas Avenue runs through downtown Dunedin toward the marina and Edgewater Park. Lots are short, weekend traffic stacks on the curb, and a paver job that stages in the travel lane will not last an afternoon.

What the downtown lot actually needs

We measure the apron to the city approach, the sidewalk joint, and the high-water mark after a bay rain. Then we excavate deep enough for compacted aggregate, not a skim of sand over fill that pumps when a car stops.

• Compacted aggregate base, not a sand-only bed

• Pitch away from the slab and toward a legal outfall

• A rigid edge so the first course does not walk into the street

• Staging that does not block the only neighbor access or the marina lane

Brick streets and salt air

Downtown Dunedin still has brick and older concrete approaches. We match the new field to that joint instead of leaving a lip a cart wheel will catch. Gulf-side color fades faster here than on an inland Largo drive, so we specify through-body concrete pavers and talk sealing only after joints are locked.
