Paver homework for a Chatsworth lot
Plain writing on the questions that come up before a project starts. Each guide is grounded in the conditions on this side of the Valley, where the rock is close to the surface, the lots often fall away, and the wind arrives through the pass.
The guides
Wood pavers and wood-look pavers
What true timber pavers are, what wood-look concrete and porcelain units are, what each costs, and why one of them makes a great deal more sense on a Chatsworth property than the other.

A side by side comparison of bare dirt, sand only, and a proper compacted base, over one year, three years, and ten. Then the local twist: here the digging is the hard part.
Read the guideWhere to start
If you are weighing up whether to do the work at all, begin with the Chatsworth cost guide, which sets out rough planning ranges and explains why excavation is the line most likely to move on a rocky lot. If you already know what you want built, the service pages go into the detail for driveways, patios, and concrete pavers.
And if you would rather simply ask, the FAQ covers the questions homeowners ask most, or you can call and be connected with a contractor who does paver installation in Chatsworth for a living.
