Well-Head Grade Rings on Paver Equipment Pads
A well head that sits below a new paver pad becomes a buried lid. A well head left proud of the field becomes a trip edge and a mower strike. Pinellas irrigation and potable wells need a grade ring the owner can still open.
PaverForge Hardscapes sets flush well-head grade rings and rebuilds the equipment pad around them so the casing stays accessible and stormwater does not pond on the lid.
Ring, pitch, and the pump skid
We set the ring to finished paver elevation, keep a concrete collar under the cut units, and pitch the pad away from the casing. The pressure tank or pump skid gets its own isolation pad so vibration does not rock the ring. Irrigation wiring and the discharge line stay in sleeves, not under a locked paver field.
On sugar-sand lots we separate the pad from the yard with geotextile and a pinned edge. Organic pockets get undercut before the ring is set, or the lid settles below the field by the next wet season.
Do not bury the cap
County and utility crews still need to reach the well. We leave a labeled lid, keep polymeric sand out of the ring joint, and photograph the sleeve locations before the field is closed.
