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), Strata Block at 2811 Fiechtner Dr. SW (You may find other locations 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, 2702 1st 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.
