Pavers in Phoenix AZ
How does a 3-year warranty on all workmanship sound? Ask our competitors to guarantee theirs for the same amount time. Ground Zero is held to a higher standard of paver installation than the average licensed contractor. That is right! When you are looking for paver or any type of hardscape paver installation Chad Bennett holds a national accreditation that goes above and beyond the state requirements by the registrar of contractors of Arizona. Chad is ICPI certified which is Interlocking Concrete Pavement Institute Member and is also A Certified Concrete Paver Installer! He is held to using certain materials in the subbase compaction equipment, depths, edge restraints and more. Whether we get the job or not, do not let your pavers get installed on “minus material” or decomposed granite!!! A hardscape job is much like a paint job. All the important work is unseen and, in the prep, and subbase. This is also the easiest place for competition to cut corners. Ask about the installation process, know the materials and steps being taken then compare them to the paver manufacturers guidelines. All reputable paver manufactures adhere to the guidelines set forth by the ICPI.
