Choose your city
Washington's climate varies significantly across the state. The western side gets substantial rainfall year-round, requiring excellent drainage and a robust paver base to prevent water issues. The eastern side experiences hotter summers and colder winters, with freeze-thaw cycles that demand a strong foundation. Proper paver base installation is crucial for both. It needs to be deep enough and compacted correctly to withstand moisture and temperature changes. This ensures your patio or walkway remains stable and attractive for years to come.
