What makes paver patios and retaining walls last in Ohio winters?

The secret is foundational excavation and compacted aggregate base. We dig below frost movement, install woven geotextile fabric, 6+ inches of crushed limestone, and sweep polymeric sand that flexes without cracking.

How thick should mulch be applied?

We apply double-shredded hardwood mulch at an optimal 2 to 3-inch depth, combined with a 3-4 inch clean vertical trench edge that prevents grass creep and retains vital soil moisture.

Can you install fresh sod in the middle of summer?

Yes, provided the proper base grading, enriched topsoil, and daily scheduled watering regimen are followed. We guide every homeowner through the critical first 3 weeks.
