String-Line and Laser Grade Control on Long Pinellas Drives

A long Pinellas driveway looks fine on day one if you only sight the first two bays. By bay eight the field has a wave, a pond at the third joint, and a trip edge at the garage.

PaverForge Hardscapes sets string lines and a laser before the bedding layer, not after the joint sand. Call 727-490-9798.

What grade control actually changes

  • Two-percent pitch held across the full length instead of guessed from the slab

  • Bedding thickness kept even so units do not rock after the first wet season

  • Lippage caught on the dry field, when a unit can still be lifted

Color will not hide a wavy grade. Ask the crew what they pull string to before they dump sand.

How to start

Send the lot length and two photos looking down the drive from the street and from the garage. We walk it with a level before we lock a number.
