EV Charger Pads and Conduit Through Paver Driveways in Pinellas
Pinellas driveways are getting chargers. The mistake is dropping a pedestal on a low corner of an existing field and trenching the conduit after the pavers are locked. Water sits at the unit. The sleeve collapses when the next re-level gets compacted. PaverForge Hardscapes plans the pad and the run with the driveway, not against it.
Pad first, then the field
The charger wants a small, level pad that pitches away from the house wall and the pedestal. We set that pad on the same compacted base as the driveway so it does not settle independently. If the electrician already has a preferred pedestal location, we work to that mark instead of moving the whole apron.
A sleeve under the field before final compaction, not a saw-cut after the fact
A pad thick enough for the pedestal and a service tech standing next to it

What we need from your electrician
We do not pull the electrical permit. We do need the conduit size, the pedestal footprint, and whether the run comes from the garage or the side yard. Send that with the driveway photos and we will put the sleeve on the layout before anyone digs.
