Proof-Rolling and Compaction Checks Before Setting Pinellas Pavers
Most failed Pinellas driveways were set on a base that looked finished and was not dense. The stones hid the soft spot until the first wet season. Proof-rolling is how we find that spot while it is still cheap to fix.
PaverForge Hardscapes compact in lifts and check the base before bedding sand goes down. Call 727-490-9798 if you want that written into the quote instead of assumed.
What we check before the field goes down
Soft spots that pump under a roller or a loaded tire
Lifts that were dumped thick and never densified
Wet pockets that need more stone, not more sand
Edges that will move if the restraint is set on loose material
If a crew cannot tell you how they will compact and how they will know it is enough, they are selling color. Color does not hold a car on Florida sand.
How to start a quote
Send photos of the existing surface and the street frontage. We walk the lot, talk through base depth, and put compaction in the scope. Book online at https://www.paverforge.com/book-online.
