Before presenting our technique it is important to talk about the most effective factor in paver, concrete, asphalt installation, that can lead the installation final product to the highest point of workmanship, which is COMPACTION. It is interesting to know that most contractors believe compacting machine can compact the floor with maximum sufficiency, which is not true, even the heaviest compacting machines can’t not compact the land thicker than about one foot, that is why in free way construction the roadbed is compacted in several layers, Water compaction can compact more than twenty feet deep, if applies several times in a proper Timely manner. You can see natural effect of water compaction in nature, where ever the water puddles in an area, the earth snick enormously that depends on the density of the soil. This process can not be applied in free way compaction, because of the vast area , but in a small area, like a back yard it works quite well. What San Diego County Builders, Inc. does? 1- If the density of the soil is poor,in a an area, after rough grading, a thin layer of class tow road base is spread on the designated area, to prevent any messy condition after the area is soaked several times for several days, it depend on the soil density condition. 2- The next step is compacting with machine, the thin layer of Class tow road base, prevent mud sticking to machine and the ground remains...

Pavers are manufactured in two ways. The traditional is “brick manufacturing style “. The moist aggregate mixed with cement are pressed in a cast-iron molding. Though the optimized strength of cement products happens through chemical hydration process of cement that contain lime in it , this method has a small chance for chemical process. Due to the pressing process, they are very solid and strong. The next method is precast concrete paver. Mixture of aggregate, cement and water is hand cast in special molding. After 24 hours they are demolded, and then after 28 days they are ready to be used. The second method has a lot of options for surface texture.

Interlocking Pavers interlock with neighboring unit. Interlocking paver known as segmental paver has emerged over last few decades in the USA, as an alternative to concrete paving, brick paving and clay paving like Spanish tile, with better quality comparing all other options. Interlocking Pavers have been used for thousands of years, Romans built roads with segmental Pavers, they still exist. Just compare Pavers longevity with life time of pour in place concrete that can not be longer than, in average, 2 to 3 years before they crack and become distorted. In 1940s Pavers came to an optimized and better quality when they were produced out of concrete. In areas like Netherlands or California and similar zoning that lands are below or equal sea water level, pour in place concrete is not a good choice. Due to flexibility of land, and earth movement concrete cracks. That is why you can not see any concrete without crack unless they have been poured recently.
