North Shore Drive NE Old Northeast Walkways
North Shore Drive NE walkways run along Old Northeast waterfront lots, under mature oaks, between the sidewalk and a house that was not built for a wide paver field.
What the walk has to survive
Oak roots and a high water table will lift a thin sand bed. We size the base, keep the edge flexible enough to follow a root zone, and pitch the run so afternoon rain does not sit against the stem wall.
Compacted base deep enough that the first root heave is a repair, not a rebuild
Edge restraint that can be reset without tearing the whole run
Flush utility rings so a meter reader is not stepping on a proud box
Pitch to the yard or the street, not into the entry
How to start
Call PaverForge Hardscapes at 727-490-9798 with photos of the walk, the oak, and the street frontage. We walk Old Northeast lots before we price them.
