At Bedrock Gardens in Hazle Township, PA, DIY hardscaping projects become simple with the right plan and materials. We supply and deliver base stone, sand, pavers, and edging so you can build patios, walkways, and more with confidence.
Plan Your Project Layout, Materials, and Budget First
Measure your space, sketch a simple layout, and choose materials that match your home. Decide on pavers, natural stone, or block systems. Set a budget and timeline. Bedrock Gardens helps you select stones, base material, and edging that fit your design and price point.
Prepare a Stable Base for Long-Lasting Patios and Walkways
Mark the area and excavate 6–8 inches for patios and 4–6 inches for walkways. Compact the subgrade. Add a geotextile fabric if your soil shifts. Install 3–4 inches of compacted crushed stone base, then 1 inch of leveling sand. A solid base keeps surfaces even through freeze–thaw cycles in Northeastern PA.
Set Pavers or Stone with Clean Lines and Consistent Spacing
Snap a string line to keep rows straight. Place pavers or stone tightly with uniform joints. Tap each unit into the sand bed with a rubber mallet. Check level as you go. For irregular flagstone, blend sizes and shapes to avoid repeating patterns.
Lock Everything in with Edging, Joint Sand, and Compaction
Install edging to prevent lateral movement. Sweep polymeric sand into joints, then lightly wet to activate binding. Run a plate compactor over pavers to seat them. For natural stone, fill joints with polymeric sand or fine stone screenings for a clean, durable finish.
