Why choose Jake’s

(what makes our installs last)

  • Right base, not just surface — we set levels, compact road base, and screed bedding sand for a firm, even finish.
  • Correct drainage/fall — away from the house, with tidy transitions to lawn/paths.
  • Crisp cuts & edges — wet‐saw where needed; edge restraints so pavers don’t drift.
  • Clean site & waste removed — no mess left behind; we sweep and rinse on completion.
  • Clear, written price — scope, materials and finish agreed before we start.
  • Small walls done properly — straight, level courses with drainage gravel and geofabric where appropriate.

Upgrade path: Finish with a Pressure Wash & Seal on
adjacent areas, or add steppers to high‐traffic shortcuts.
