A driveway needs to provide a stable, properly prepared surface for vehicle traffic while also complementing the property. Vancouver Premium Property Services installs paver driveways with attention to site preparation, grading, base construction and finished paver layout.
Each driveway project is different. Existing concrete, asphalt, soil, gravel and other surfaces may require different preparation methods. Access, drainage, finished elevation and the expected use of the driveway are also considered during planning.
Our driveway installation process is designed around the specific conditions of the property rather than using the same preparation method for every project.

Our Paver Driveway Installation Process
1. Measure & Assess
We assess driveway dimensions, existing conditions, access, drainage, elevations and the intended vehicle use.
2. Remove & Excavate
Existing surface materials may be removed and the area excavated as required for the planned driveway structure.
3. Build the Base
Appropriate granular material is placed and compacted to establish the foundation for the driveway surface.
4. Prepare the Bedding
The prepared base receives the appropriate bedding layer before paver placement begins.
5. Install the Pavers
Pavers are laid according to the selected pattern and cut where necessary around the perimeter and permanent structures.
6. Finish the Driveway
Edges, joints, final compaction and cleanup are completed as appropriate for the selected installation system.
Driveway Grading & Drainage
Proper grading is an important part of driveway preparation. Water needs to be managed appropriately so that the finished surface does not create unwanted drainage problems around the property.
Existing slopes, surrounding structures, property elevations and drainage conditions should be considered before installation.
Why Driveway Base Preparation Matters
A driveway is exposed to repeated vehicle loading, weather and seasonal ground movement. The underlying preparation therefore plays an important role in the performance of the finished surface.
- Appropriate excavation
- Suitable granular base material
- Proper compaction
- Correct finished elevations
- Appropriate grading
- Stable edge restraints
- Proper joint stabilization
Paver Driveway Design
Paver driveways can be customized through the selection of paver size, shape, layout and pattern. The driveway can also be coordinated with existing walkways, patios, steps and landscaping.
Pattern and material selection should consider both the desired appearance and the intended application of the paved area.

Are interlocking pavers suitable for vehicles?
They can be suitable for residential vehicle areas when the paver system and underlying preparation are appropriate for the application.
Do paver driveways require maintenance?
