Installing a paver patio is one of the best ways to enhance your outdoor living space. But before the first stone is set, preparation is everything. Proper groundwork ensures your patio remains level, durable, and beautiful for years to come.
At Jones Asphalt, we take pride in building patios that combine craftsmanship and longevity. Here’s what goes into preparing your yard the right way.
Step 1: Site Clearing and Leveling
The first step is removing grass, debris, and old materials to create a clean, even foundation. Any soft soil or roots must be cleared to prevent settling later on. Once cleared, the area is leveled and graded to ensure stability and proper water flow.

Step 2: Establishing Proper Drainage
Drainage is critical for maintaining your patio’s integrity. Poor drainage can cause water pooling, erosion, and shifting pavers. We grade the surface away from your home and use base materials that promote natural water runoff—protecting both your patio and foundation.
Step 3: Building a Strong Base Layer
A well-prepared base is the key to preventing cracks or uneven surfaces. Crushed stone is compacted in layers to create a solid foundation, followed by a layer of sand for leveling before placing pavers. This combination ensures lasting strength and a smooth finish.
