Most paver failures are base failures. StoneCraft builds every driveway, patio, and pool deck to a written specification — compaction tested, laser graded, and documented — so the surface you get in year fifteen is the one you paid for in year one.

TABLE 02 — INSTALLATION STANDARDS
| PARAMETER | STONECRAFT STANDARD | REFERENCE |
|---|---|---|
| Base compaction | 98% standard Proctor, tested per lift | ASTM D698 |
| Surface tolerance | ±3/8" over a 10-foot straightedge | ICPI TM-4 |
| Drainage slope | 2.0% minimum, laser-verified | SPEC 220.4 |
| Edge restraint | Concrete or spiked PVC, continuous | SPEC 310.1 |

| Frost protection | Base depth below local frost heave line | SPEC 118.7 |
Every project closes with a signed inspection sheet recording compaction readings, slope measurements, and joint-sand activation — filed with your warranty. If a future contractor ever needs to know exactly what's under your patio, you'll be the rare homeowner who can hand them the drawing.

FIELD REPORT — CLIENT, 7 YEARS POST-INSTALL
"Two neighbors installed patios the same summer we did. Both have settled and repoured sections. Ours still drains at the slope on the drawing — I checked it with a level, because StoneCraft turned me into that kind of person."
