Five Phases — Zero Shortcuts
How a driveway is
actually built.
Click any phase to expand material specs, cross-section diagrams, and project photography from completed installations.
Every project begins with a site survey: laser-level readings across the full apron, soil compaction tests, and drainage mapping. We document every high and low point before a single tool touches the surface.
Specifications
Cross-Section
Clay pavers, permeable resin-bound stone, stamped concrete, or corten-edged gravel — each material has a compressive strength rating, freeze-thaw cycle tolerance, and maintenance profile. We match the spec to your climate and use.
Specifications
Cross-Section
The surface is only as stable as what's underneath. We excavate to undisturbed subgrade, install geotextile membrane, compact 6″ of crushed aggregate in two lifts, and verify density with a nuclear gauge before any surface material touches down.
Specifications
Cross-Section
Pavers are set by hand, one at a time. Herringbone patterns lock under vehicle loads without mortar. Soldier-course borders are cut to within 1/16″ of the edge restraint. LED strip channels are routed before bedding sand is swept.
Specifications
Cross-Section
Polymeric sand is swept, vibrated, and activated — locking joints permanently against weeds and washout. A penetrating silane sealer is applied in two coats, protecting against oil, freeze-thaw spalling, and UV fade for 7–10 years.

Surface Specifications
Four surfaces.
One right answer.
We specify the surface that fits your subgrade, your climate, and your maintenance preference — not the one with the best margin.
Herringbone Clay Pavers
Kiln-fired at 2,100°F. Interlocks without mortar. Self-healing under freeze-thaw cycles.
Permeable Resin-Bound Stone
Aggregate bound in UV-stable resin. Fully permeable — zero standing water.
Scored & Stained Concrete
Corten-Edged Decomposed Granite
Stabilized DG bounded by weathering steel. Ages alongside the landscape.

"I hired three contractors before Slab. None of them mentioned drainage gradients. Slab's survey found a 4-inch low point that would have flooded my garage every winter."

"Our HOA required drainage compliance. Slab produced a stamped engineering drawing within a week — the only contractor who could deliver that. Approved first submission."
