Paver patios, walkways and driveways set on a compacted base that stays level — Oakland, Alameda County.
Oakland's mix of flat-lot bungalows and hillside properties calls for pavers that are set right for the ground they're actually going on. On a flat lot in the Dimond District or East Oakland, a paver patio or walkway usually means turning a plain side yard or a strip of dirt into space the family actually uses instead of walking past. Up in Montclair or Rockridge, grade and drainage matter more, and a paver path or driveway has to be built to handle water moving downhill instead of pooling against the foundation of the house.
Either way, the base is what makes a paver job last — compacted properly underneath, pavers stay level for years and shed water the way they're supposed to; skip that step and they shift, sink and gap within a couple of seasons no matter how good the pavers themselves are. We build patios, walkways and driveways the same way regardless of which part of Oakland the job is in, and we look at the actual grade of the property before we quote anything or start digging, because a plan that ignores where water actually runs on that lot is a plan for a redo.
Between flat lots on the Dimond District side and graded hillside properties in Montclair, an Oakland paver job needs a base built for the specific ground it sits on — we set the base to the lot, not the other way around, and that's what keeps the surface level once the winter rain starts moving water across it.
