Redoing the driveway

As we worked to fix the sewer, we needed to dig out a portion of the driveway for access. And we realized that there was some sort of leak in an irrigation pipe that went under the driveway. So it became evident that redoing the entire driveway made the most sense. And pavers won out over concrete in part because we could take out a section if necessary in the future without digging everything out.

After talking to a variety of folks for recommendations, getting bids, we opted to go with Saratoga Pavers. They had the paver we wanted to use in the color we wanted, and they had a nice gap in their schedule so we didn’t have a hole in the driveway for too long.

Three videos, condensing 9 hours of work each day into about 1 minute, provide a visual of the process. Then we had to wait 2 days before we could drive on it, to let the sealant cure.
