Professional paver installation for driveways, patios, and walkways that handle our climate without cracking or settling.
Your property deserves better than cracked concrete and patchy asphalt. When paver installation is done right, you get surfaces that look sharp year after year while actually increasing your property value.
North Carolina’s freeze-thaw cycles destroy most concrete within a few years. Pavers flex with the ground movement instead of cracking straight through. That means you’re not looking at expensive replacement projects down the road.
The right paver contractor knows how to handle our clay soil conditions and ensures proper drainage from day one. You end up with walkways that don’t puddle, driveways that don’t settle, and patios where water flows away from your foundation instead of toward it.
Union Landscaping and Hardscape S Corp has been handling paver installation projects throughout Houston, NC and the surrounding Stanly County area. We understand the local soil conditions that cause most hardscape projects to fail.
Too many contractors treat every job the same way. But Houston’s clay soil requires specific base preparation techniques that prevent settling and drainage problems. We’ve seen what happens when corners get cut, and we’ve built our reputation on doing the groundwork right the first time.
Our team handles both residential paver installation for homeowners and larger commercial projects for local businesses. Every project gets the same attention to proper drainage, base preparation, and finishing details that ensure your investment lasts.
First, we excavate to the proper depth based on your soil conditions and intended use. Driveways need deeper base preparation than walkways. We don’t guess – we dig to the specifications your project actually requires.
Next comes base preparation with the right materials. This is where most paver projects succeed or fail. We use proper gravel base depths, compact in lifts, and ensure drainage slopes away from structures. The base work takes longer but prevents settling issues later.
Then we install your pavers with proper edge restraints and joint sand. We check levels constantly and make adjustments as we go. After installation, we compact everything together and sweep in polymeric sand that locks the pavers in place. You can use your new surface immediately – no waiting for concrete to cure.

Every paver installation includes proper excavation, base preparation, and drainage planning. We don’t charge extra for doing the groundwork right – it’s part of every job because it’s the only way pavers perform long-term.
You get detailed project planning that accounts for Houston’s clay soil and drainage requirements. We handle permits when needed and coordinate material deliveries to minimize disruption to your daily routine. All materials are sourced from established suppliers we’ve worked with for years.
We install edge restraints that actually hold up over time and use proper joint sand that prevents weed growth and paver movement. Every project includes cleanup and a walkthrough to ensure you understand how to maintain your new surfaces. We’re not done until you’re completely satisfied with both the appearance and functionality of your paver installation.
