Patio construction in Avon, NC

Dense interlocking concrete pavers with low water absorption perform well in Avon's salt-air environment. They allow water to drain through the joints, resist surface wear from moisture, and individual units can be reset if the ground shifts.

On Hatteras Island's sandy soil, a compacted gravel base of at least 6 to 8 inches is standard before any surface material is installed. Sandy ground compacts differently than clay, so the base depth and compaction process directly affect how long your patio stays level.
