Professional installation with proper base prep so your investment doesn’t shift, sink, or gap.
Your pavers stay level and tight for years because the foundation work was done right the first time. No settling that creates trip hazards or gaps that collect weeds and water.
You get outdoor spaces that actually enhance your property value instead of becoming maintenance headaches. Patios where furniture sits level, driveways that handle North Carolina weather, walkways that stay smooth and safe.
The difference is in the base preparation and drainage work that most people never see. When it’s done correctly, your pavers look as good in five years as they do on installation day.
Union Landscaping and Hardscape S Corp has been handling paver installations throughout University City South and the greater Charlotte area. We understand how the local clay soil behaves and what it takes to build lasting hardscape projects here.
Our team focuses exclusively on landscaping and hardscaping work, so we’re not trying to be everything to everyone. We know pavers, we know this area’s soil conditions, and we know what works long-term in North Carolina’s climate.
You’re working with a properly structured business that’s invested in this community and built to stick around for warranty work and future projects.
First, we excavate to the proper depth and grade for drainage. This isn’t optional – it’s what prevents your pavers from shifting and settling later. We’re talking about removing soil, not just laying pavers on top of what’s there.
Next comes the base material – compacted gravel that creates a stable foundation. We use mechanical compaction equipment to ensure proper density. Then a leveling layer of sand gets screeded perfectly flat.
The pavers go down with proper spacing and alignment. Edge restraints get installed to prevent spreading. Finally, joint sand gets swept and compacted to lock everything in place. The whole system works together to handle freeze-thaw cycles and ground movement that happens here in North Carolina.

Every paver installation includes proper excavation, base preparation, drainage considerations, and professional installation with appropriate edge restraints. We handle both residential patio and walkway projects and larger commercial applications.
You get material sourcing from established suppliers, so colors and textures match throughout your project. Our equipment handles the heavy excavation and compaction work that determines whether your pavers last or fail in a few years.
We also handle the details that matter – proper slopes for water runoff, transitions to existing surfaces, and cleanup that leaves your property ready to enjoy. University City South properties often have specific drainage challenges, and we factor those into every installation plan.
