Before & After
Drag the handle and watch it change. Then look at what went in underneath, because that is the part that decides whether it still looks like this in ten years.
Paver driveway & entry court
The old surface came out, the ground was excavated to depth, and the base went back in and was compacted in lifts before a single paver was set. The finished surface reads as one field with a contrasting soldier course drawing the edge — that border is the difference between a driveway and a parking pad.

Under the surface
Every paver job looks good the week it is finished. What separates one that is still flat after ten Idaho winters is what happened before the surface went down — and it is the part that is invisible the moment the work is done.
Base goes in and is compacted in layers, not dumped and levelled in one pass. Skip this and the surface finds its own level over the first two winters — unevenly.
The bed is screeded flat before anything is set, and the border goes in first. Large-format slabs are unforgiving — a bed that is a few millimetres out shows in every joint.
A wall holds the soil. The grading behind it decides where the water goes. Both get done at the same time, because fixing the second one afterwards means taking out the first.
