Proper drainage separates successful paver projects from problematic ones in Houston. Our Meyerland and Bellaire installations always include:
• 4-6″ gravel base layer
• Permeable joint sand
• Subtle slope (1/4″ per foot)
We recently built a Memorial patio that survived 8″ of rain thanks to:
- French drain perimeter
- Permeable pavers
- Elevated design
Common mistakes to avoid:
- Insufficient base material
- Poor compaction
- Ignoring neighborhood flood patterns
For West University homes, we often combine pavers with turf for a balanced, functional yard. Proper installation prevents costly repairs down the road.
