FAQS
How many materials do I need to get?
After you receive an estimate from me, I will let you know how many pavers, materials needed etc. An example would be this: If your patio is 200 square feet and you want 4" x 8" Holland style pavers, then 200 x 4.7 = 940 pavers. Also, for 200 square feet, 3 yards of class 5 gravel (base material) is needed. That is it, those two products delivered or picked up by you from a dealer or store of your choice. The only other product is a plastic paver edger/restraint or you may want a special type of edging, retaining walls, or other products to complement your patio.
Where can I shop for these products?
Pavers, retaining walls, and edging can be found at the following Fargo locations: Menards in West Fargo, Patio World on I-29 and County Road 20 (North), (You may find other locations & landscape companies, but these are some major suppliers)
Gravel base (class 5) material can be found at: Asplin Excavating Inc, 277-0048, 3100 41st Street Southwest, Fargo, Ames Sand & Gravel, 232-2594, 4658 7th Avenue North, Fargo, Aggregate Industries - Sand & Gravel, 277-0174, 711 Aggregate Industries, Fargo
What about "call before digging" and underground utility lines?
If you know you will be digging or planning a project in your yard you can call the ND one call at 800-795-0555 or MN gopher state call at 800-252-1166, or if you like I will arrange this call a few days before the start of your job.
What if I just want information to do it yourself or install pavers myself?
