Poplar Street NE St. Pete Courtyards

Poplar Street NE is Old Northeast. Lots are narrow, oaks own the parkway, and the courtyard is often the only flat ground between the house and a brick street. A field set on thin sand heaves at the roots and ponds at the alley.

PaverForge Hardscapes installs and re-levels courtyard pavers on Poplar Street NE. Call 727-490-9798 or book a walkthrough at paverforge.com/book-online.

What an Old Northeast courtyard needs

The street may be brick. The sidewalk may be lifted. Neither is a reason to skip base depth. The job is still pitch, compaction, and an edge that does not creep into the planting bed.

• Open root heave instead of shimming pavers over it

• Pitch to the alley or a yard drain, not the basement areaway

• Match the existing brick or paver border where the field meets the walk

• Keep the field clear of downspouts that currently dump on the stones

How to start

Photos of the courtyard, the oak, and the alley joint are enough to start. We also work Venetian Boulevard and Brightwaters Boulevard in the same northeast grid.
