FAQ

Hardscaping questions from Alta Vista homeowners.

How long does an interlock driveway take?

Most residential driveways are 3–5 days including demolition, base prep, layout, and install. We give you the exact window before we start.

Why does interlock last better than asphalt or concrete?

Interlock moves as one unit through freeze-thaw, so it cracks far less than poured surfaces. The joints also admit water, which helps drainage. A proper base is the key — that's non-negotiable for us.

Our Alta Vista driveway is cracked — what's the fix?

If the base is sound we can often repoint or resurface; if not, we tear out and reinstall in interlock. We'll assess honestly and quote only what's actually needed.

Can you help with drainage on a sloped lot?

Yes — sloped Alta Vista lots shed water toward the house if they're graded wrong. We fix grade, add swales or catch basins, and route runoff away from the foundation.
