Masonry and hardscaping

Hardscapes & paver services in Lanham, MD

G & D Construction builds paver, flagstone and grass block surfaces that start below the pavers, with a compacted base, solid edges and joints that lock everything in place.

At the final compaction stage of a paver patio, a worker guides a plate compactor across the newly laid surface to settle the pavers and joint material

Overview

A paver patio, walkway or driveway changes how a property looks and how people move through it. G & D Construction installs hardscapes for homes and businesses in Lanham and across Prince George's County, using flagstone, grass block and pavers from trusted brands such as EP Henry, Belgard, Hanover and Nicolock.

What makes a paver surface last is mostly what you never see. We excavate to the right depth, build and compact a stable base, set edge restraints and lay each paver to a planned pattern. Polymeric sand locks the joints, so the finished surface stays level, drains properly and looks like it belongs on your property.

Services we provide

Flagstone

Flagstone brings the natural color and irregular shape of real stone to patios, walkways and steps. We set each piece by hand on a stable base, fitting joints tightly for a timeless look.

Pavers

We install pavers from trusted manufacturers including EP Henry, Belgard, Hanover and Nicolock, in a wide range of shapes, colors and patterns. Each installation sits on a compacted base with solid edge restraints.

Grass Block Pavers

Grass block pavers create a surface strong enough to drive on while letting grass grow through the openings. They reduce stormwater runoff and work well for overflow parking, fire lanes and eco-friendly driveways.

Paver Repair & Resetting

Sunken, shifted or weed-filled pavers do not mean starting over. We lift the affected area, rebuild the base, reset pavers level and refill the joints with polymeric sand to lock everything in place.

Our process

How the job goes

  1. Review the area and layout

    We look at the intended use, the available space, access, existing surfaces, and the shape the finished hardscape needs to take.

  2. Prepare the site

    The installation area is cleared and prepared for the base. Where needed, the ground is excavated and adjusted to create the planned elevations.

  3. Build the base and set the pavers

    A suitable base is placed and prepared before the pavers are arranged according to the selected layout. The work is checked as the surface takes shape.

  4. Finish and check the surface

    Edges and joints are completed, the pavers are settled, and the finished area is reviewed for alignment, stability, and the intended slope.

Hardscapes and Pavers questions

Answers before you book.

More questions on our full FAQ page.

What types of areas can use pavers?

Pavers can be used for outdoor areas such as walkways, patios, and other planned hardscape surfaces. The layout depends on the space and how you want to use it.

Does the existing ground need to be excavated?

Often, some preparation or excavation is needed to create room for the base and the finished surface. The amount depends on the current ground, existing materials, and planned elevation.

Can pavers be installed over an existing surface?

That depends on the condition and height of the existing surface. The area needs a stable foundation and suitable elevations, so the existing material is reviewed before the installation approach is chosen.

How is hardscape work quoted?

The quote considers the size and shape of the area, access, site preparation, the selected layout, and the installation work required.

The work was done in a timely manner. My only concern was the placement of some of the equipment on my lawn killed some of the grass.
